In addition, "True Education" ranked No. 1 in 19 countries, including South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia, and made the Top 10 list in 85 countries.

In its second week, it posted even stronger results, proving that it is a series that resonates with audiences across generations and regions.
