A recent Korean ladies magazine poll at the end of March is an interesting peek into how the domestic female viewers feel about how the hot Korean actors the English-speaking drama world fangirls over. It’s not the same list, that’s for sure, if I were to take a poll there are certain names that would dominate even if he hasn’t done a drama in years. The ladies choice top three favorite Korean actors as of March 2016 are Signal‘s Lee Je Hoon in first place, Kang Dong Won in second thanks to his hit film, and third place goes to Song Joong Ki in all certainty due to the exposure of Descendants of the Sun. Expanding the list a bit more, Lee Je Hoon’s Signal costar Jo Jin Woong takes fourth while Yoo Ah In just spent six months in front of television audiences in Six Flying Dragons and takes fifth place. Check out the top ten below, and most are recently quite popular or buzzed about on television, with the only name missing as Park Hae Jin since he got so much attention for Cheese in the Trap yet it’s his costar Seo Kang Joon that found a place on this poll.
1. Lee Je Hoon
2. Kang Dong Won
3. Song Joong Ki
4. Jo Jin Woong
5. Yoo Ah In
6. Seo Kang Joon
7. Park Bo Gum
8. Kim Soo Hyun
9. Lee Jong Seok
10. Im Shi Wan

Wow at KSH and LJS being on this list considering they've been MIA recently with both of them working on projects for this year. KSH has been on a bit of a hiatus since Producer and LJS has been gone even longer from dramaland for over a year now. Impressive.
Surprised Ryu Jun Yeol isn't on here...doesn't he have a lot of reply hype at the moment.
Ryu Jun Yeol attracted i-fans, Park Bo Gum is more k-fans.
Lee je hoon's Signal co star...not Kang Dong Won..typo ;)
I really loved the drama Signal, it was so great that I totaly understand why Lee Je Hoon and Jo Jin Woong are in this top 10. I want a season 2 >_<
Otherwise it's hard not to drool over Song Joong Ki in DoTS :D
All great actors except for #6. (Although I wouldn't really attach the adjective 'great' yet to #7, but he's got big potential!)
yes for lee je hoon,seo kang joon and my bae park bogum!
I'm surprised seeing KSH and LJS on the list. Both of them didn't do any projects recently especially LJS. Looks like korean people still love them. How strong they are!
LJS
Who hate to flirt in. I hate because out in Cdrama.
My bae are Yoo Ah In and Lee Jong Suk on the list ?
Wow look at Lee Jong Suk!!!!
Haters always bring him down about airport scandal or his look, but he still loved by korean ppl.
I think SKJ popularity picked up again after they air Law of the Jungle.
