One name in our panel was born in Hyehwa-dong. That makes it the 35th most common birthplace of the 37 cities we could place anyone in.
⚠ Read that as “1 of the 123 we could place”, not “1 Korean stars are from Hyehwa-dong”. Those are different sentences and only the first one is true.

We looked at 3,204 people. Only 123 had a birthplace we could put on a city.9 had a country recorded and no city, and 9 had nothing recorded at all.
We test whether a birthplace is in Korea using its coordinates, not its country field, because the country field records involvement as well as location. Where Wikidata marks a place as a country rather than a city, we count it separately instead of quietly calling it Seoul.A guess in a table looks exactly like a measurement, so we leave the cell out instead.
Birthplaces: Wikidata (P19), coordinates checked (P625). Reader counts: Wikimedia Pageviews, human traffic only, per million. This is a statistic, not a person.
