1.Big Bang and Girls’ Generation are legends !
2. But what did Lee Min Ho do? The inheritors? The king? For me, Actor #1 is Kim Soo Hyun, Hyun Bin, or Park Seo Joon ㅋㅋ!
- Flower Boy, a work from 13 years ago, is just the beginning, and he has completely established himself as the heir to City Hunter. Each country has different favorite works.
3. As expected, BTS is the #1 singer.
4. It appears that Lisa is very popular abroad!
5. Well, BIGBANG and SNSD are still there
6. I haven’t seen Lee Jong Suk’s work in years
7. Wow! BTS and Lee Min Ho are wonderful
8. It’s great that IU is at the top in both areas!
9. Every time I see something like this, I’m curious about Lee Min Ho, I think he’s very popular abroad!
10. I think BTS’ maknae ( v , jimin and jungkook ) is definitely the most popular member!
11. Female idols are IU, Lisa male idols are GD and Jungkook
12. Lee Minho and GD have a really long run hahahaha
13. What is BTS? I really want to see a singer like that again.. And IU is also popular abroad. Her acting as an actress must also have played a part, because once you know K-Pop, you cannot know IU hahaha It’s a special icon.
