Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born star Kim Tae Ri has hit the #1 spot on the just-released Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings list for November, 2024.
That #1 win bumped last month’s winner, Jung Hae In (Love Next Door), from first place completely out of the Top 30 because, yes, this list is always about the people who are starring in Korean dramas that are currently airing.
The list, by the way, is compiled from what the Korean Business Research Institute calls “media coverage, participation, interaction, and community indexes”.
So, no, it’s not a scientific poll, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is fun.
Especially for the drama actors who end up in the Top 10 (or even the Top 30) that month, as it can mean the big bucks in advertising deals and in offers for future drama roles.
So, back to the November Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings list and, after Kim Tae Ri at #1 for her role in Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born, which other actors made it into the Top 10?
They are:
2. Park Shin Hye (The Judge From Hell, which recently ended)
3. Lee Soon Jae (Dog Knows Everything, a K-drama that also aired its final episode late last month)
4. Jung Eun Chae (Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born)
5. Shin Hae Sun (Dear Hyeri, which ended on October 30th)
6. Lee Jin Wook (Dear Hyeri)
7. Lee Se Young (What Comes After Love)
8. Han Suk Kyu (Doubt)
9. Shin Ye Eun (Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born)
10. Kim So Yeon (A Virtuous Business)
Congrats to all the amazing actors hitting the Top 10 in the Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings this month.
And, be sure to watch the Korean dramas they are starring in, if you aren’t already, as every one of them is one of the best of 2024.
As for the ultimate winner, Kim Tae Ri, she also made it to #1 on last month’s Buzzworthy Drama Actors list, just in case you missed that honor.
