Korean pop culture, in numbers

School of Performing Arts Seoul

We counted 125 Korean actors, singers and other entertainers who studied at School of Performing Arts Seoul. The 30 most widely written about are named below.

This is a floor, not a total. Wikidata records a school for 4,535 of the 9,249 people we hold — 49%. For the other 4,714 we do not know where they studied, and not knowing is not the same as not having gone. So the real number for School of Performing Arts Seoul is at least 125, and we cannot tell you how much higher.

Some of the names

Ordered by how many Wikipedia language editions carry an article about them. That measures how widely someone is written about, not how good they are, and it favours people who have been famous longer.

3 more people we counted at School of Performing Arts Seoul are not in this table, because Wikidata records their name only in Korean and this is an English page. They are still inside the 125 above. We would rather leave a name out than print one you cannot read.

How far their work travelled

Of the 125 people we counted here, 9 have a title that reached a Netflix country Top 10. The median one reached 51 of the 94 countries Netflix publishes lists for.

Countries reached
Median of all 951
Median with the single widest person removed48.5
Widest single person — Kim Sae-ron87

The second row is the check on the first. If removing one person moves the median a long way, the school’s figure was that person rather than that school. Here it moves from 51 to 48.5.

Counted as the widest single title a person has, not the sum of their titles: the source file gives a country count per title but not which countries, so adding them would count the same country twice. Schools with fewer than five such people are not given this figure at all. All 23 schools side by side →

Where these numbers come from, and what they do not say

A bigger count does not mean a better school. It reflects how large the school is, how long it has existed, and who happens to have a Wikidata entry — three things we hold no way to separate. We do not rank schools and we do not suggest you pick one.

We count schools, not degrees. Wikidata's field records that someone studied there. It does not tell us whether they graduated, what they studied, or for how long, so neither do we.

We hold 1529 schools in all. 1474 of them have fewer than 15 people we could count, and we do not publish a page for those — they are counted, not hidden.
