From one top rating K-drama to another, Kim Seon Ho took the world by storm with his good boy aura in the mega-hit series "Start-Up," where he played the second lead, Han Ji Pyeong, alongside Nam Joo Hyuk and Hallyu star Bae Suzy.
This is also where he gained the nickname "good boy" in reference to his character.
Now, the 35-year-old star is making waves with his role as Gongjin's local Chief Hong in "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha," where he took on the role of Hong Doo Shik.
Prior to the much-awaited release date, the rom-com drama receives an overwhelming response due to the fresh team-up between the lead stars, dubbing Kim Seon Ho and Shin Min Ah as the "dimple couple" due to their striking features.
From Top Rating Drama to Buzz Worthy Actors
Following the "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" release, the tvN Saturday and Sunday drama kick off with soaring viewership ratings after scoring an average nationwide rating of 6.8 percent.
With this, it took the first spot as the number one spot across all cable channels during its time slot.
Meanwhile, Good Data Corporation recently cited that Kim Seon Ho and Shin Min Ah dominate the latest weekly rankings for the most buzzworthy actors.
The "Start-Up" star ranked first for the fourth week of August, followed by his co-star, who got the second spot.
This is an excellent achievement for the drama as it only released its first episode on August 28.
