The Forbes Power 40 list for entertainers spans not just actors but also athletes. hosts, and musicians. The 2023 list has BTS once again on top to no surprise, while last year’s number 2 Blackpink swapped spots with number 3 soccer great Son Heung Min for this year. Among the actors/actresses, Song Joong Ki was the highest ranked at number 4, after not being on the list for a few years. My Liberation Notes male lead Son Seok Gu came in 7th, with Park Eun Bin on the list for the first time in her career at 11, Junho arriving in 12th spot, Kim Ji Eun at 13th place, with IU as singer/actress dual roles falling from 11 to 18 this year, Lee Seung Gi dropping to 15th, and Song Hye Kyo going from 29 to 25th spot this year.

Son Sukku is 7th but I guess his name not headline worthy enough for KP yet.
Not surprised these people are on the list, the only surprise is BTS remaining on top even though they’re on hiatus/gone to military service.
Nice to see Park Eun Bin and Son Seok Gu as new entries, especially the former, she deserves it all ❤
Yes park eun bin deserves tobe on the list
Park Eun Bin deserved this she’s versatile actress 💕
Park Eun Bin she deserved to be high ranking actress ..she’s amazing and versatile actress 💕
What the ef is that pictorial of song jongki. That make-up is so atrocious with that suit. At first glance he looks like an actress with short hair ala Yum Jong-Ah in her powersuit. Is jongki rivaling G-Dragon on the effeminate look?
Not surprised BTS ranks at the top because they are the most iconic Asian artists in the entertainment history.
Congratulations SJK. Keep shining.
