The streaming platform Kino Lights recently released new rankings for the most popular programs on their platform regarding the third week of June, here defined as June 11th to June 17th. "Why Her?" was once again the most requested show on the platform, ranking in first place for its second straight week. The hit legal drama stars Seo Hyun-jin as a once idealistic lawyer who uses political machinations to scheme against the powerful law firm that had sought to use her as a potential scapegoat.
Second place went to "The Roundup" which is currently airing in South Korean theaters. Kino Lights always includes box office totals as part of these tracking numbers. However, until the release of "The Roundup" COVID-19 depressed box office figures were such that currently airing movies did not generally feature in the Kino Lights rankings. Third place went to the original Top Gun ahead of the release of that American film's sequel, with fourth place going to "The Outlaws" for similar reasons.
