Top 5 Korean artists who got the most requests in ‘Star & Me’ column

 

1. Kim Jaejoong
Mr. Sweet-face with the shy smile! The very first time that we made this column, it’s Jaejoong that the fans wrote about. It’s always Jaejoong and Jaejoong. The staff gotta swap Jaejoong’s articles with other artists (just trying to spread love to most artists as possible) and the love letters to Jaejoong are in the queue-to-be-posted till the end of 2009.

Most letters are like “I admire Jaejoong Oppa because having been reading about his past, he’s a real tough guy and been working real hard to get to this point. He’s also kind and grateful to his parents and everyone who had been supporting him. I want to support him so that he’d be fighting with his hardwork in the future” and this is just a small part of the letters.

 

 

2 Yunho
Mr. Coolest leader! Sweet love letters to Yunho is “Dear Staff, since the day I was born till now. I’ve never seen any guy who is as cute as Yunnie bear. Is there any guy in this whole world who could dance as perfect as Yunho?”

 

3. Eun Hyuk
Mr. Sincere who loves Thailand. Though he didn’t speak much when he was here but people who saw his lovely smile cannot just escape away from his charms.

 

4. Lee-Teuk
The Sensitive leader! His sweet face and sincere smile that melts our hearts. This guy is innocent and genuine in everything (talk, laugh,smile or even cry). We received letters from fans about him, “I’m impressed when I first saw him. He has such a warm smile, he’s sincere and generous and always takes good care of other SJ members. He even sacrifices his own happiness to make others happy. I really love him and will support him forever”

 

5. Han-Kyung
The Generous big Daddy! He seems to be mature than any other SJ members. He takes good care of other members and consults them about everything (including BR) When SJ-M started to promote in China, it’s Han-Kyung who coordinated everything. We received letters addressed to him such as “I really love him. He’s been working so hard and he’s got such a warm heart. He’s so modest. When I see him cry I wanna wipe away his tears”

Other artists include DongHae, Yoochun, Hee Chul, Ki Bum, Tae Min etc

6 Hottest Korean Artists of the year 2008 (fan votes)

 

1. Super Junior

Since the time SJ debuted till now, we have recieved tons of emails, phonecalls, SMS asking about the boys. Most of the fans said they dont like SJ just because of their cute looks but it’s because they’ve been working hard, their performances are awesome. We cannot imagine how many times they’ve been practicing to get the best performance on the stage. SJ is the inspiration for many fans.

 

 

2. DBSK (no one is greater than TVXQ)
Since their debut, we got tons of requests about them such as “What kind of the girl does Micky Yoochun like?”, “Does Xiah Junsu’s father allow him to get married with Thai girls?” etc. The reason why boys received the most request is not because of their handsome looks only but it’s because they’re the best in dancing, singing, performing. They’ve been trained hard and have been working hard. They’re the best role model for teenagers. They all have such a good/ genuine heart, that’s why we all love them so much.

 

3. Rain (the immortal of Korea)
We cannot deny the fact that Rain is the super star in Korea. From his poor childhood, how much he had fought to be able to be what is he today, makes us love him. From Korea to Hollywood, he’s the inspiration for many many new coming artists. And no matter what he does, he always gets our attention.

 

4. Big Bang (Wake up the rap phenomenon)
We get used to POP songs but Big Bang woke up the hip-hop nature in our blood. Their songs are not too rough and the lyrics are from their talented leader “G-Dragon” never fails us.

 

5. FT Island (unbelievable musicians)
Many people assume that FT Island’s genre is POP, according to their cute look. But in fact their songs are Pop-rock and they are so good performing live and don’t forget that they’re only 16-18! They are so talented!

 

6. Wonder Girls (the one and only girl band who win boys and girls hearts)
Actually there are only TOP 5 for the hottest artists only but if we don’t write about Wonder girls, we think we’re gonna get tons of complaints from A-star fans for sure. WG is the only girl band that the fans truely admit they are cool. Their super sexy and super cute and super cool look, it’s not that difficult for us to fall for them. Cuz if they’re not cool, you think they are gonna have the concert in bangkok?
