Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun, the latest celebrity couple in town, respectively ranked first and second in the TV drama actor brand reputation rankings for April 2023.
On April 6, 2023, Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute released its monthly list of TV actors, where they analyze the most trending celebrities. The data for April 2023 took into consideration actors who appeared on TV from March 6 to April 6.
It did not come as much of a surprise to see The Glory cast Lim Ji-yeon (who played the main bully, Park Yeon-jin) and Lee Do-hyun (who played Song Hye-kyo’s confidante and executioner Joo Yoo-jeong) top the brand reputation rankings list.
Dispatch broke the couple’s dating news by publishing pictures on April 1, 2023. Shortly after the report went viral, both the actors’ agencies confirmed that they were indeed in a relationship. The news took the K-drama fandom by storm as they became the talk of the town in multiple online community forums, social media, and news headlines.

The TV actor brand reputation ranking list released for April 2023 perfectly represents the South Korean entertainment industry’s curiosity. While multiple cast members from The Glory were expected to feature in the top 10, fans across the world were searching for two actors in particular - Lim Ji-yeon (32) and her boyfriend, Lee Do-hyun (27).
The newest celebrity couple in town confirmed their relationship via their agencies on April 1, 2023, just hours after Dispatch published their photos. Fan edits of the duo at The Glory’s press conference soon began making the rounds. Viewers of the revenge thriller drama also stitched together Park Yeon-jin and Joo Yeo-jeong’s scenes, congratulating the duo.
Apart from Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun, who took the first and second rank, respectively, Taxi Driver 2’s actor Lee Jae-hoon ranked third on the list. Divorce Attorney Shin’s lead actor Jo Seung-woo was placed in the fourth position, while The Glory’s lead actress Song Hye-kyo rounded off the top 5 list.
