Where these numbers come from
Wikimedia Pageviews API — daily English Wikipedia article views for each actor, summed over 5 Jul – 3 Aug 2026. Automated and spider traffic is excluded by the API itself; these are human reads.
Wikidata — the roster is built from cast lists (P161) filtered to Korean citizenship (P27), so who counts as a Korean actor is decided by the data, not by us.
Attention is not popularity. A page is opened for good news and bad — a premiere, a casting, an award, a scandal, a death. We publish the count and the window it covers. We do not publish a reason, because the count does not contain one, and we do not rank anyone by how fast their views spiked.
A missing actor is not an unread one. 336 of the1,344 performers in our roster have no English Wikipedia article and cannot be measured this way at all. We use no photographs; the only images on this site are charts we built from numbers we counted.
