tvN's Jeongnyeoni is taking the world by storm, crossing over 300 million total video views and dominating the rankings with its incredible popularity.

According to data from KinoLites, an OTT content search platform, Jeongnyeoni topped the integrated content ranking for the week of October 28 to November 3, outshining all other dramas and films released domestically. In addition, Jeongnyeoni claimed the top spot for four weeks straight in Good Data Corporation’s TV-OTT drama buzzworthiness survey for the week of October 28.

Kim Tae Ri, who stars as the lead character Yoon Jeongnyeon, has also dominated the buzzworthiness rankings, holding the #1 spot for four consecutive weeks. Other cast members, like Shin Ye Eun (#3), Jeong Eun Chae (#4), Woo Da Bi (#6), and Kim Yoon Hye (#7), have all placed in the Top 7, making Jeongnyeoni the series with five actors in the top rankings.

Online, the drama’s popularity is overwhelming. Since its premiere, Jeongnyeoni has consistently ranked #1 in YouTube views among domestic dramas. As of November 4, its related video views have surpassed 300 million. A big part of this success comes from the viral Gukgeuk stage performances and behind-the-scenes content, which has garnered over 10 million views on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more.

Gukgeuk, the genre featured in the drama, has also sparked significant interest. Mentions of Gukgeuk on social media and online communities grew from about 600 in September to over 3,000 in October, showing a fivefold increase in just one month.

With Jeongnyeoni heading toward its intense climax, viewers are eagerly awaiting the next developments. In episode 8, Jeongnyeon, who moved to Seoul to chase her dream of becoming a Gukgeuk actor, faces a life-changing challenge. After falling into a trap set by Seo Hye Rang (played by Kim Yoon Hye), she undergoes extreme vocal training that leaves her voice damaged. This intense moment, where she collapses during an audition after coughing up blood, has left fans on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what happens next.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
