The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of viewing motivation and evaluation criteria for single-person media broadcasting on viewers' reactions. The motivation for viewing was classified into "information seeking" and "entertainment seeking" motivations, and the evaluation criteria were classified into "logical evaluation criteria" and "emotional evaluation criteria" for one-person media broadcast content and hosts, respectively. Based on previous studies, research hypotheses and models were established on viewing motivation, evaluation criteria, viewing attitude and continuous viewing intention, and attitudes toward brands
mentioned in broadcasting and purchase intention. Data were collected through a survey and statistical analysis using SPSS24 was conducted to test the research model and hypothesis. As a result of empirical analysis, logical evaluation criteria are important if the motivation for pursuing information is high. Emotional
evaluation criteria were found to be important if the motivation for pursuing entertainment was high. Sequentially, it was found that these viewing motivations and evaluation criteria had a significant effect on
viewing attitude, continuous viewing intention, brand attitude, and purchase intention for broadcasting.
The results of this study will help establish improvement measures and marketing strategies that can increase viewers' interest and attitude in single-person media broadcasting by revealing the factors that affect the
viewer response of single-person media broadcasting. In addition, if a company spreads advertisements through one-person media broadcasting, considering the impact of viewers' viewing motivation and evaluation
criteria on the brand, a more effective brand communication strategy can be established based on this. The results of this study are expected to helptheoretical and practical development in the field of one-person media
broadcasting.
