Squid Game led Korea’s Netflix week, 19 September 2021

26 Korean titles held a weekly top 10 place in 83 countries that week, taking 161 chart places in total.

Week label 2021-09-19, the same label Netflix uses. A chart place means one country's weekly top 10 listed the title once; it is not a count of viewers, and Netflix's country file carries no viewing figures at all.

This is the Korean slice of that week, not the whole chart. Every week's top 10 in every country also holds titles from everywhere else, and we do not republish those — K Culture Wire counts Korean titles. Netflix's own page for this week has the full lists.

Ordered by how many countries listed it, then by best rank. That is a spread, not a ranking of the titles against each other.

11 titles held the same number of countries in both weeks. A country count going up or down is a count of top-10 listings, not a measure of how much anyone watched — Netflix’s country file carries no viewing figures.
