The biggest Korean Cinema names

Star power counts what a person led rather than what they appeared in: the gross of the films they were top-billed in or directed, how that run held up, how many there were, how recent, and how audiences rated them. Every figure is a percentile inside Korean Cinema. 54 people qualify.

The method, in full

How star power is scored

Gross led: Reported gross of the films the person was top-billed in (first 4 cast credits, or director), counted once per film.
Consistency: How those films did as a run, so one giant hit does not paper over a string of flops.
Body of work: How many films they have led; quantity helps but does not dominate.
Momentum: Gross led, discounted by age.
Audience rating: How audiences rated the films they led.

Every signal is a percentile among people who have led at least two Korean Cinema films. Figures are as reported on TMDB and Wikipedia, and are indicative rather than audited.
