The helpful Google search engines continues to be the go to platform for anyone seeking information and the Korean search words in 2021 helps understand what was on people’s minds in Korea. Without splitting by category or top, only 2 entertainment related names made it on the overall Top 10 search terms in Korea – Squid Game was number 3 and K-actor Kim Sun Ho was number 6. The former due to its worldwide popularity and the latter for both Hometown Cha Cha Cha and then his subsequent scandal combined for a lot of searches of his name.
