So Ji-sub, who starred in 'Manager Kim,' ranked first in the TV-OTT integrated drama actor buzz survey for the fourth week of June.

According to a buzz survey by Good Data Corporation, an institutional investor, SBS's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Manager Kim' drew immediate attention from its first broadcast week, with So Ji-sub securing the top spot right away. This marks the first time So Ji-sub has reached number one in the drama actor buzz survey. 'Manager Kim' also ranked second in the TV-OTT drama category during its first broadcast week.

In just two episodes, 'Manager Kim' surged to a national rating of 15.7%, 15.9% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and a peak instantaneous rating of 18.1% (based on Nielsen Korea), instantly surpassing the 15th% rating threshold.

The second and third places were taken by Choi Hyun-wook and Choi Min-sik, respectively, from Netflix's new original series 'The Last Line Boy.' The chemistry between the two actors became a topic of discussion, and 'The Last Line Boy' achieved the number one spot in the TV-OTT drama category.

Choi Min-sik's placement marks his second time reaching the top ranks after topping the list with the Disney+ original 'Casino' series. Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-wook, who has consistently delivered high buzz scores in his roles—ranking third in 'Sparkling Watermelon,' fifth in 'That Black Dragon,' and sixth in 'Weak Hero Class 2'—has now reached his highest ranking of second place with 'The Last Line Boy,' proving his competitiveness.

Lee Jun-young from 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' secured the fourth spot. As the lead actor, Lee Jun-young has steadily climbed the rankings since the first broadcast, while the female lead, Lee Ju-myung, rose from 11th place last week to 8th, showing an upward trend. Thanks to their performances, 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' maintained its fourth-place position, following last week's ranking.

The fifth and sixth spots were claimed by Seo In-guk and Park Ji-hyun from tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow!' The program ranked fifth in the TV-OTT drama category during its first broadcast week.

In the actor category, Kim Mu-yeol from Netflix's 'True Education' took the seventh spot. Despite being released four weeks ago, the drama continues to gain word-of-mouth popularity, ranking first in the video segment among the four elements that make up buzz. As a result, the work is currently holding the third position in the TV-OTT drama buzz category.
