Tense Ending with Gunshot Accident Exposure... 'New Recruit 4: Sabotage' Captivates Living Rooms

[News & Book = Reporter Song Young-du]  The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'New Recruit 4: Sabotage' maintained its position at the top of Monday-Tuesday dramas in its time slot, recording a peak viewership rating of 4.2%.

The 4th episode dealt with the appearance of the 2nd Company members participating in weekend civil support and the incident of a 'post exposing the cover-up of a gunshot accident' that threw the unit into shock. According to Nielsen Korea paid household standards, the national viewership rating reached 3.6%, with the peak rating per minute soaring to 4.2%, proving the intense interest from living room audiences.

In this broadcast, a twist unfolded as the unit members, who had set out expecting to meet female college students, were deployed into labor in the mud. Oh Seok-jin (played by Lee Sang Jin) provided salty laughter as he took on tasks like cleaning chicken coops and removing beehives while wearing floral pattern baggy pants.

However, the atmosphere shifted abruptly when a post claiming circumstances of a battalion's gunshot accident cover-up was uploaded to the unit's official cafe. Park Min-suk (played by Kim Min-ho) began to suspect his peer Kim Hyeon-uk (played by Lee Won-jeong), who had been showing suspicious behavior, as the mastermind.

Company Commander Jo Baek-ho (played by Oh Dae-hwan) declared a direct response, stating he would protect his company members even with a promotion review ahead of him. Meanwhile, Park Min-suk, having confirmed the truth about Kim Hyeon-uk through Jeon Se-gye (played by Kim Dong-jun), could not hide his anger and grabbed Kim Hyeon-uk by the collar. The drama ended with a scene where Jo Baek-ho and Park Jae-su (played by Oh Yong) witness the collision between the two, adding to the anticipation for the next development.
