Actors Jang Dong-gun and Daniel Henney, popstar Rain and 17 other hunks have been selected by CNN Go as South Korea’s 20 hottest male celebrities.
\nCNN Go is a new website by the leading news channel that is dedicated to what’s happening in Asia.<\/strong>
\nThe top 20 list was selected based on the stars’ \u201cdrool\u201d meter.
\n\u201cThere are men, and then there are MEN. These specially chosen South Korean celebs, who we’ve selected purely on the basis of how much drool they elicited from the female members of our staff, no doubt have solid acting, modeling and\/or singing skills. But it’s their chocolate abs, sublime faces and lean, mean, sex-machine bodies that get them a place on this list,\u201d CNN Go wrote about the celebrities.
\nOne interesting note is that the three stars of the hit drama series \u201cBoys over Flowers\u201d are on the list. They are Kim Hyun Joong, Lee Min-ho and Kim Bum<\/strong>.
\nJang Dong-gun<\/strong> topped the list which CNN Go described as a star that \u201chas been sizzling up screens for over a decade.\u201d
\nHere are excerpts from the descriptions of CNN Go about the hottest male stars on the list:
\nWon Bin<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cSouth Koreans are obsessed with actor\/ model Won Bin. Can a man be more perfect? With his chiseled face and sultry voice, it’s a wonder women don’t faint at the very sight of him.\u201d
\nBae Yong Joon<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThe highest paid South Korean celeb rose to fame in the 2002 KBS’s mega hit “Winter Sonata”. He did not only become a celebrity, but a worldwide superstar.\u201d
\nJo Jin-Mo<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cTalented star Ju Jin-Mo will always be the ladies’ man.\u201d
\nJo In-sung<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cA beautiful face, great height and an unsurpassed talent.\u201d
\nLee Jun-ki<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cHis hard work ethic paid off after years as a model and taking small roles in many dramas.\u201d
\nDaniel Henney<\/strong> – He has a soothing voice, perfect body, and exquisite manners. He is the whole package.”
\nOther celebrities that made the top 20 are Dennis Oh, So JiSeob, Rain, Yoon SangHyun, Lee Min-Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Jang Geun Seok, Lee Seung-gi, Choi Min-Shik, Song Seung-Heon, Kwon SangWoo, and Ha Jung-woo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
