The Twenty-Five Twenty-One star’s undeniable multi-faceted charms translated into a major transformation for her fresh contributions to her latest K-drama outing in Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born. The webtoon-based drama series set in the 1950s has consistently maintained its winning streak atop numerous weekly rating and ranking charts, reserving an equivalent spot at the top for its leading lady on the performer rankings. Having premiered on the South Korean network tvN and Disney Plus (in select regions) on October 12, Kim Tae Ri’s brand-new period drama offering landed her the #1 spot in the November Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings.

According to the cumulative data from the Korean Business Research Institute analysing K-drama stars’ media coverage, interaction, community indexes, and participation, Kim Tae Ri scored the top-most position thanks to her new drama series with a score of 5,014,839. Her high-ranking victory on the chart was compared with 49 other actors who starred in shows airing between October 13 and November 13.
