Hometown Cha-cha-cha's Kim Seonho has dominated the Drama Actors Brand Reputation Index for the month of September.
For context, this list is released monthly by the Korean Business Research Institute, based on several factors such as media coverage, participation, interaction, and community indexes of the top 50 actors and actresses in the Korean entertainment industry. They are also the same ones who release monthly Brand Reputation Index reports for male and female idols, and K-pop groups in general.
This list is always referred to by advertisers as their wishlist on who they should approach for their clients' products and services. Thus, those in the list are always seen with several product endorsements in form of CFs and photo ads.
Kim Seonho topped the list, accumulating 5,551,730 overall for his brand reputation index. Aside from Kim Seonho, lead actress for their drama Shin Min-ah also conquered the third spot.
Hospital Playlist 2's Jo Jungseok has clinched the second spot, while Penthouse 3's Kim Soyeon and Hospital Playlist 2's Jeon Mido got the fourth and fifth spots, consecutively.
Some notable inclusions in the index include Nevertheless actors Song Kang and Han Sohee (#6 and #7, respectively), Penthouse 3's Lee Jiah, Lovers of the Red Sky actor Ahn Hyoseop, and Hospital Playlist 2 actor Jung Kyungho occupying the last three slots in the top 10.
