I think Forbes ranking etc depends on activities in Korea and LMH is less active in Korea compared to Song Joong Ki and some of the others on list. That's the only reason I can think of. Either way he is still the most famous Hallyu star.
Forbes korea credibilty is in shambles. They never put movie superstars like lee byun hun , sang kang ho in list when their impact is beyond idols and is biased towards idols. Bts exo make sense. But even they are not bigger than actors in their home . Sorry i dont see bp rv on level of iconic actresses. Watch any award show, actors has superior vibe and idols look so nervous performing infront of them. Idols r famous among fanbases but not general publicm they are not respectdd like actors.
But fact is actors r more loved in korea. Forbes korea is just focused on idols bcoz they dont have any knowledge actors there. They know only about kpop
Actors cf salries r more. Jjh can shoot 10 cfs per year without doing mpvie or drama and walk about with 10 to 15 million usd in income. Whereas bp have to tour, do combined cfs. Iu has to do 1000s of activities , still cant outearn her. Still not one bp member can out earn her. Thats why forbes korea should be closed when they dont have basic stats. When they dont put top actors in list
