View Comments

• Lmao how is park hyung sik ranked higher than gong yoo

  • Why not? Is not that Gong Yoo is that great either. I would definitely rank PHS higher than GY.

    • For me there about the same tbh. I love both of them equally lol.

    • I just think gong yoo is a bigger star than hyung sik but someone just pointed out the fact that swdbs and hwarang just aired there plus he's doing a musical so I get why he's ranked higher

  • Park hyung sik started to become cutely popular in Japan because of WHTMF and HS. It just cemented his status there bec of Hwarang and SWDBS that is repeatedly broadcasting in their TV. Recently, he is becoming famous there because of his musical, Elisabeth where he takes on the role of Death. Japanese fans flocked to Seoul Blue square just to watch him perform.

  • Votes are similar- 116, 114.

• No surprise he remains extremely popular in Japan..He is without doubt one of South Koreas biggest export stars to Japan for a decade...very popular in Japan with his concerts and music.

• Ahhhh what no Jo In Sung? Park Bo Gum? But I am happy to see everyone listed no qualms about that.

  • Park Bo Gum is not popular in Japan.

  • Jo In Sung not really popular overseas. His popularity in Korea is even declining because he is not doing anything much. I think he is picky and does not like most of what’s being offered to him. He tried variety shows few times but still he only did 1 movie in 4 years. He might be doing some CF to keep him afloat.

• No park bogum? Wow its weird ?

  • ??? told you

    • But park bogum was selected as the most like actor in japan before ?. Btw are you from japan?

  • @poh thats different poll, its fr media in 2017, pbg was the most liked by media outlet in japan, i think that time moonlight is airing in japan

    • ah its make sense, thank you :D

  • He was never truly popular in Japan his fans just like to hype him up and pretend he is global star or something.

• Surprised there's no Yon-sama there, japanese ahjummas finally got over him?

• Jaejoong, Yoo Chun is of DBSK/TVXQ fame.
  At least the list didn't go all the way back to Winter Sonata.

• No actresses list???

  • Among the actresses, IU is the most visible because of Moonlovers and My Ajushi. Moonlovers is on rerun continuously on multiple platforms in Japan since 2016. Let us just see if those recognition that she received in Korea for MA will translate into multiple broadcasting in Japan. PSH and SHK are the other actresses who has at one drama showing in Japan. But I guess their male counterparts are more popular. Lee Byung Hyun actually has more visibility in Japan due to Mr Sunshine.

    • Is mr sunshine showing through mnet in japan?

    • Not sure. I don’t think it is shown as I think at the moment, it’s Netflix hold the right who knows for how long. But somehow those awards shows where he won were shown in Japan and somehow 2 or 3 of his old dramas and movies are on rerun over there.

    • Most dramas that already bought by japan enjoy reruns fr time to time,its same fr other countries,they already have the rights,u forget to mention hwarang, its same with moonlovers, they have idol cast,its also popular in japan.

    • Have you even checked? I only rant on someone gullible, not the artist but those spreading fake news. Check it for yourself.

    • Besides we are talking about the actress and her dramas. And she is an idol too, yet her other dramas are not shown there but Moonlovers which was going since 2016 and My Ajushi.

    • If people are gullible, u just need to post the correct info, others dont have access, (language barrier, some homepage cant be open for ifans)
      1 example abt pbg fm, u keep saying for people to check online the info but u post the venue for his 1st fm, which i know u check online too,

• Jaejoong and Yoochun but you said Big Bang in the same sentence. Are you drunk when you wrote this OP? Or secretly advertising Big Bang.

• Jaejoong and Yoochun are both from DBSK/JYJ, not Big Bang.

• Jaejoong is from DBSK/JYJ and of course he will be famous in Japan because he is more of a jpop than kpop right now. Aside from the popularityy of jyj, he currently lives in Japan plus he is doing shows and concerts with the jpop singers like shirota yu.

  • Yes, Jaejoong is having Asia tour all around Japan in April. He is doing well in Japan. His Japanese is always good and he fits in well in variety. I like watching him ?
