A Shop for Killers 2: A Standout Double Appearance

Kim Hye Jun pulled off a rare feat this week, landing on the actor list twice — once for her role in “A Shop for Killers 2” and again for her starring turn in newcomer “My Bias, My Boss,” which debuted at No. 6 on the drama list. It’s a strong signal that her range is resonating with audiences across two very different projects simultaneously.

New Entries Making Waves

“Our Sticky Love” made a strong Netflix debut at No. 3, propelling both Jung Hae In and Ha Young onto the actor list in their first week. Meanwhile, “Flex x Cop 2” entered at No. 5, giving Ahn Bo Hyun his own fresh spot on the rankings — proof that new releases can immediately shake up an already competitive field.
