17th place, 1.85 million index points

Lee Chan-won landed 17th in the September singer brand reputation big data analysis with a total index of 1,852,413. Participation index hit 545,160. Media index came to 335,232. Communication index was 447,646. Community index reached 524,375.

The ranking follows a busy awards stretch. On September 19, the 2026 The Fact Music Awards announced Lee Chan-won as winner of Best Music (Winter) and the Fan & Star Choice Award (Solo).

Four trophies at the Seoul Music Awards

Before that came June 20 and the 35th Seoul Music Awards. Lee Chan-won took home the Trot Award, Grand Prize (본상), Popularity Award, and SMA Best Artist Award. Four trophies in one night explains a lot about that index number.

Four MC slots — and a fifth coming in January

On the broadcast side, Lee Chan-won hosts four programs: KBS2's Immortal Songs, KBS2's Celebrity Soldier's Secret, JTBC's Talk Correspondent 25, and MBC's Surprise Mystery Salon.

Starting January 2027, he adds a fifth. Lee Chan-won will co-MC tvN Story's new variety program Sangsok Jeonya (working title) alongside Seo Jang-hoon. The show is billed as the country's first variety program built around the theme of inheritance.
