Following the TV series ”King the Land” and ”The Tyrant Chef”... YoonA (SNSD) at the center of global popularity

Thanks to Girls' Generation's YoonA's performance, the drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' has become the top global hit on Netflix and gained immense popularity.

tvN's weekend drama “The Tyrant's Chef,” starring YoonA, is a survival fantasy romance comedy about a chef who time-travels back to the past at the peak of his career and encounters a king who is the worst tyrant and possesses absolute taste. It has been receiving explosive reactions every week thanks to the actors' passionate performances, stylish direction, and intriguing plot developments.

YoonA plays French chef Yeon Ji-young, a character with exceptional culinary skills and a strong sense of responsibility. She perfectly embodies this delightful character, firmly anchoring the story's core. Her performance has been validated by topping the TV-OTT Overall Cast Buzz Rankings (based on Good Data Corporation's Fondex survey) for four consecutive weeks.

According to Netflix's official viewing rankings site TUDUM, “The Tyrant Chef” achieved the #1 spot on the Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) chart. Beyond its domestic Korean reception—where it broke its own viewership records with each episode and topped the buzz rankings—it also dominated the global chart, reaffirming its worldwide acclaim.

Most notably, YoonA previously secured the top spot on Netflix's Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) chart with the hugely popular 2023 drama “King the Land.” With “The Tyrant's Chef” now also topping the global charts consecutively, she is carving out a meaningful record as an actor.

Meanwhile, the drama “The Tyrant's Chef,” where YoonA's diverse charms are drawing attention, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM on tvN in Korea. In Japan, it streams on Netflix after its Korean broadcast.
