Korea’s September drama actor brand reputation rankings are filled with familiar names, but the specific positions are quite surprising to many viewers.

On September 20, the Korean Business Research Institute announced the latest brand value rankings for Korean drama actors. The rankings are determined based on the analysis of 99,640,608 data on brand reputation of drama actors in September through 4 criteria: media coverage, community index, participation and interaction level of 50 actors appearing in dramas aired from August 20, 2021 to September 20, 2021. As expected, the most popular actors and actresses whose names are included in the rankings are from hit dramas such as Penthouse, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Hospital Playlist and Hong Chun Gi. However, the specific ranks are quite surprising.
