Lee Jun-young Tops K-Drama Buzz Chart for 6th Week From Military Base

Actor Lee Jun-young has hekd onto South Korea's top performer buzz ranking for a sixth consecutive week, even while serving in the military. What makes the run stand out is that he remained at No. 1 even after his drama "Four Hands, Two Sonatas" wrapped its broadcasting.

According to the TV-OTT combined performer buzz ranking released by Good Data Corporation's FUNdex on Oct. 7, Lee Jun-young took the overall No. 1 spot with a 6.26 percent share. The result marked his sixth consecutive week at the top of the ranking.

Second place went to Song Kang, his co-star on "Four Hands, Two Sonatas," with 5.13 percent. Kim Min ranked third at 2.25 percent, followed by RESCENE at 1.78 percent and Kian84 at 1.28 percent.

Lee Jun-young's long run at No. 1 has been closely tied to the tvN drama "Four Hands, Two Sonatas." He played Choi Jeong-yo, a genius conductor, and delivered a sharp, layered performance as a cool-headed but sensitive musician. Even after "Four Hands, Two Sonatas" ended on Oct. 4, he remained at the top of the buzz chart.

Lee Jun-young is currently serving in the military band of the Army's 35th Infantry Division. He filmed "Four Hands, Two Sonatas" before enlisting and has been serving on active duty throughout the drama's broadcast run. Six straight weeks at No. 1 suggest the usual quiet period that comes with military service has done little to slow his momentum.
