The Korean Business Research Institute has released this month's rankings, highlighting the popularity of these figures in advertising.

The rankings were based on an analysis of consumer behavior, using big data collected from August 5 to September 5. The Korean Business Research Institute assessed factors such as participation, communication, media presence, and social value to calculate each star's overall brand reputation index for September.

He rose to fame by winning first place in the reality show Mr. Trot, competing against 17,000 applicants. In 2021, he achieved his first number-one hit on the Gaon Digital Chart with the single My Starry Love.


Byeon Woo Seok closely followed in third place with a brand reputation index of 2,404,235, reflecting an impressive 68.22% increase from last month.
