Tue Sep 01 — We measured twelve Korean breakouts on English Wikipedia: the title's biggest day, and that day for its most-read cast member. The bigger the title, the smaller the share reaching any one actor. r = -0.68, n = 12, p = 0.016.
Tue Sep 01 — On 29 August the English Wikipedia article for the Korean series Mousetrap was opened 23,512 times — rank 157 in the world that day. Squid Game's best day in the same month was 5,205. Two days earlier Mousetrap drew 658.
Tue Sep 01 — We took the cast of thirteen Korean titles that broke out on English Wikipedia — 119 actors with their own article. Sixteen of them appear in two of those titles. Nobody appears in three.
We hold 319 tags in all. 180 of them are on a single piece, and we do not publish a page for those — the tag still shows on the article, it just does not become an address of its own.
