In a news cited by My Daily on December 13, the media outlet revealed the names of stars who made it to the list of Most Notable Actors of 2022.
Gallup Korea made a survey and asked people aged 13 and above to vote for the actors and actresses who they think shined this year. The voting period started on November 7 and ended last November 24.
Based on the data gathered, the star who took the top spot was none other than Park Eun Bin, who made a magnificent performance in the high-rated series "Extraordinary Attorney Woo." She earned 13.6 percent votes from the public who joined the survey.
ENA Channel's "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" aired from June to August, which immediately stole the spotlight on primetime. It follows the journey of a female rookie attorney with autism spectrum disorder, who starts a career at a known law firm.
