The star rating thing on Myrunningman.com is the TV ratings. As in like, 19% of people in Korea watched this episode when it aired. Also kind of funny the years and team you mentioned for knowing soccer players. Because Patrice Evra was on the French National team from 2004 - 2016. So he should be right in your wheelhouse.

Oh shit that's extremely good then. Well I always scored with Benzema so Evra should've stepped his game up!

at the time of the episode (Im guessing it was right after PJS retired from Man U so around 2012....that's when he started showing up on TV a lot), there was no question PJS was known to WAY WAY WAY more koreans compared to IU (I mean, there's a reason he was introduced before IU). To say he was the Michael Jordan of korea isn't hyperbole. Funny thing about kpop in korea.....at the same time it's EVERYWHERE but when it comes to the general public knowing groups and members, they really don't (outside of kids under 18 and people on tv bc thats their job). However, when an athlete breaks through internationally either by participating in the worlds best leagues (like EPL or MLB) or by winning an Olympic gold.....EVERYONE in korea knows them Obviously today IU is pretty ubiquitous and more and more people are forgetting PJS since he hasn't played in a while but at the time of this episode, he was a GOD and IU was in that phase transitioning from rising music star to entire nation entertainment star

Yeah I assumed as much. When an athlete in Korea can make a splash internationally I'm sure he's held extremely high. It's interesting seeing IU in this less famous light. I wonder what the general sentiment is for Bong Joon-ho. Thanks for the insight 💜
