Love Scout’s Lee Jun Hyuk is #1 on January Actor Brand Reputation Rankings

Michelle Topham January 27, 2025

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.

The Top 20 on the Korean Business Research Institute’s Actor Brand Reputation Rankings for January looks like this — heavy with actors from Squid Game 2, but with the cast of The Tale of Lady Ok and When the Phone Rings also performing well:

  1. Lee Jun Hyuk (Love Scout)
  2. Choo Young Woo (The Tale of Lady Ok)
  3. Lee Jung Jae (Squid Game 2)
  4. Hyun Bin
  5. Jo Yu Ri (Squid Game 2)
  6. Cha Joo Young (The Queen Who Crowns)
  7. Park Gyu Young (Squid Game 2)
  8. Han Ji Min (Love Scout)
  9. Lee Byung Hun (Squid Game 2)
  10. Gong Yoo (Squid Game 2 guest role)
  11. Yoo Yeon Seok (When the Phone Rings)
  12. Chae Soo Bin (When the Phone Rings)
  13. Song Joong Ki
  14. Im Ji Yeon (The Tale of Lady Ok)
  15. Won Ji An (Squid Game 2)
  16. Lee Min Ho (When the Stars Gossip)
  17. Lee Se Young (Motel California)
  18. Go Youn Jung (Light Shop)
  19. Yim Si Wan (Squid Game 2)
