  • MDS is not only a tough guy, he is very funny too. I enjoy his comedy movies as much as the serious crime ones. His English is good and he has American citizenship, I wonder if he will go into Hollywood like LBH.

  • I can't disagree with the list. All are excellent actors. I really like MDS along with HJW. So glad to see they were first and second. I'm also happy to see Joo Ji Hoon make the list.

  • Where’s the picture of Ma Dong Seok? How come he’s the only one excluded? Congrats to him for taking the first place! Love the guy!!!

  • And as always, if there is any Movie star poll, the usual suspects should always be present: Ha Jungwoo, lee Byunghun and Hwang Jungmin.

    ... first time seeing no Kang dongwon or Kim yeonseok...

      • The term actor now encompasses both male and female. This list does include actresses, but none of them made it in Top 10.

      • Actually no. This poll is for both actors and actresses.
        It's just that the film industry is way more male-centric. The highest ranked actress is Kim Hye-soo at #14, followed by Son Ye-jin at #16 and Han Ji-min at #19.
