The Korean Business Research Institute has just announced the brand reputation rankings of actors in the month.
The results were determined through a statistical table of media coverage, participation, interaction and community indexes of 100 actors appearing in TV series, movies or OTT (online) content released from October 25 to November 25.
Surpassing many colleagues, Kang Ha Neul - the male lead of the movie "The First Ride" (Anh trai say xe) leads the list with a brand reputation index of 2,828,961.
Previously, on the monthly film actor rankings, the actor born in 1990 also led with an index of 3,686,409. Keywords related to Kang Ha Neul include Anh trai say xe, Cha Eun Woo, comedy, happy, working hard. His positive score for the month also accounted for 87.02%.
Known as a " hard-working handsome man", in 2025, Kang Ha Neul will have 6 films on air, including: "Streaming: Online broadcast", "Squid Game 3", "Yadang: Three Faces of an Enemy", "Handsome of Love", "84 m2" and "Anh trai say xe".
Not only proving his ability to transform into many things, the male star also brings the audience many refreshing laughter every time he appears on screen.
Meanwhile, this month, Lee June - the male lead of the movie "Storm Family" ranked 2nd with a brand reputation index of 2,826,454.
The drama he starred in will end its broadcast later this month. However, the viewership rating is unlikely to reach the double-digit mark, although the film was initially highly appreciated for its plot, setting, and acting.
The reason is that in the second half, the film is somewhat exhausted when falling into the dead end: telling a long story, how to solve ambiguous and repetitive problems. In addition, the love story of the main couple also took up a lot of screen time.
The male lead of Let Me Go - Choi Woo Sik ranked 3rd on the actor rankings this month with a reputation index of 2,783,962, while Jo Woo Jin of Boss ranked 4th with a score of 2,739,160, and Lee Jung Jae of A misty Man ranked 5th with a score of 2,734,830.
