• LMH-YEH drama in 2015 PLEASE!! Praying for 17346452th time :)

  • same here:) , great kissing scenes !! beautiful couple

  • KDrama Gods Please make this happen! lol

  • LMH & YEH I'm looking forward for them to a drama. I am hoping
    it will come true this year. and also YEH & Song Seung Heon in
    a romantic comedy... Cheers!.

• The Hand Towel is number two! But with Lee Min No as number one I think I understand how appreciative the Japanese ladies are of the beauty of their men. Not that I disagree.

• Yoon Eun Hye is one of those stars who is a lot more popular internationally than inside of the country. Happy that she was voted number 1!!

  Anywayzzz, here's a video of her acceptance of the Hallyu Award from Japan in 2013. She was so adorable and you can tell how much the audience also found her adorable with her nervous mistakes but you can also that she was trying her best.

• I am confused because few months ago "Faith" a K-drama where LMH is the lead man won the Gayo entertainment award for 2014 in Japan( Gayo is largest streaming portal in this country).You had an article about that too.How come a drama who wins there is not even in the top 5?

  • This one was the poll just for J-ladies.

• Rooftop Prince ranked #2 but Park Yoochun didn't make the top list? Too bad.

  • but Yoochun is still include ..He is still popular in Japan..You can read it till finish

• Hahahaha.... Yoon Eun Hye's popularity is immortal. lol.

  • Ha ha ha true that ...love her ..she needs. To do a drama soon

  • Yeah not to mention that she didnt even have a single drama for 2014! But still most popular K Actress in Japan! HAHA! She deserve it after all!

  • Yoon Eun Hye's beauty is like a goddess for Asian. She's like a demigod, I guess that's why girls and people alike there in Japan, continues to adore her and look up to her.

• How some of these actors maintain their popularity is beyond me. I mean, most of them (not Han Hyo Joo and Han Ji Won) live off their Chinese CFs and fanmeetings and seem to lack any interest in acting profession. Frankly, I hate to see Kim Soo Hyun heading that way. He is so bloody talanted, but I guess making CFs is a lot easier than shooting films and dramas. I am slowly starting to lose my respect for him.
  Most Hollywood A-listers never stop working and polishing their skill despite being filthy rich: look at Leo, Meryl or even Jennifer Lawrence. In comparison, some Hallyu stars are more like Kim Kardashian. Famous, alright, but what for?

  • But except Bae Yong Joon, all other actors here are doing at least one project every year.

    • Now compare how much time they spent shooting that one project with how much time they spent on CFs and fan service.

  • The same way Won-bin have maintained in korea despite no movie in years- handsome face and great personality.
    And if you check their filmography, these actors have many projects in last 5 years.

    • Go to netizenbuzz and read what some Korean people think about Won Bin's lack of projects, not all as positive as you might think. And compare their filmography to filmography of real actors. It is much, much shorter.

    • Are Won Bin and Bae Yong Joon just plain LAZYBONES or what????

  • Sound so tragic unnecessarily. Just because they haven't confirmed their next project and they suddenly become another won bin?
    Unluckily, There is no hollywood wave in japan, china or asia. Otherwise, those hard working hollywood stars might be seen doing CFs, FMs, concerts the same way hallyu stars are doing. Kim kadarshian is not an actress to compare with. She earns money thanks to her family's reality show.

    • I really don't get what you are trying to say. Is Won Bin tragic? Are China and Japan not part of Asia? Why is that I can't compare one person's celebrity status (Kim Kardashian) to others?

    • Nope, tragic about ksh, not wonbin who I am not a fan to care for. Tragic because you sounded like 5 years had passed since ksh's last project. You just need to wait a little bit more to see what he is gonna do next, and replace "respect" with "interest" in your opinion to make it sound less dramatic.
      Japan, china in particular, and asia in general.
      KSH's popularity vs KK's: no solid background for a comparison, imo.

  • I'm confused by your attack on only KSH, what if the no 1 on the list? Did LMH have any drama/ movie the whole of last year?

    • Err, it wasn't an attack, it was a concern for someone that has real talent but chooses not to use it. Lee Min Ho is a lost cause in my books,he is practically a CF model with occasional shitty drama.

    • Omg don't start fan wars plz. How can lmh be a practical cf actor? Then I think ksh is more practical cause he has more cfs than lmh and he gained them within 2 or 3 years after becoming famous from ywcfs. But lmh had them within about 5 years gradually increasing while he became popular in no. of tv series. And all the shitty drams you've said was loved and admired by people from all over the world without finding a shit in them. Stupid hater.

• looks like japan's people are starting to recognize kim soo hyun. i remembered last time around feb 2014, there is a poll is conducted in japan, ksh is nowhere in top ten korean actor list in japan. now at the end of year 2014 he is slaying at number 3 which before belong to jang geun suk.. keep slaying soo hyun ah.. you will get recognisation that you deserve for..

• Damn does JAPANESE women have good taste in men!!

• I love this couple of Eun Hye Yoon and Lee Min Ho, i hope to see them starring together in a beautiful love story.
