To no surprise to anyone after the huge success of the ongoing K-drama Love Scout, its star Lee Jun Hyuk has just hit the #1 spot on the January Actor Brand Reputation Rankings chart.
His co-star, Han Ji Min, also appears on the chart in the #8 spot.
That chart was released by the Korean Business Research Institute, and shows Lee Jun Hyuk at the top of the chart, followed by Choo Young Woo (The Tale of Lady Ok) in the #2 spot, Lee Jung Jae (Squid Game 2) at #3, Hyun Bin at #4, and Jo Yu Ri (Squid Game 2) at #5.
