The No. 1 spot in the K-drama and Asian Content Popular Content Ranking for May 2026 was claimed by the new K-POP variety show 'TXT's Parenting Diary,' which debuted at the top! This is a reality variety program where members of the globally popular boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) struggle to take care of energetic children. Capturing fans' hearts with their kindness, true selves, and cute moments of fluster during unfamiliar childcare, a stark contrast to their cool performances on stage, the show recorded overwhelming viewership. Please pay attention to the many episodes filled with healing and laughter.

Ranking No. 2 in the popular content ranking is 'CLIMAX,' which held the No. 1 spot last month! Although it narrowly missed the top spot, it continues to boast high popularity. 'CLIMAX' is a serious drama that begins with cold-hearted prosecutor Bang Tae-seop and former top actress Joo Sang-ah choosing a loveless marriage to use each other. The complex relationship between the unconventional couple played by Joo Ji-hoon and Ha Ji-won, and the unpredictable story development that reaches a climax in every episode, strongly captivates viewers.

Following that, the new Korean drama 'Audit' newly ranks at No. 3 in the popular content ranking! This is an office action drama set in the audit department of JU Construction, rife with embezzlement and corruption, where a cold-hearted audit team leader and a compassionate new employee team up to exhilaratingly expose the villains corrupting the company. The bromance between the two characters with opposite personalities and the speedy, refreshing story development have become a hot topic. Please enjoy this exhilarating office drama that will leave viewers feeling refreshed on Lemino.
