Is true hallyu stardom determined by the number of records an artist has sold, how many concertgoers they draw out or how many countries they’ve taken over? Vote based on what matters most to you, and let us know why you voted for who you did in the comments below.
We didn’t name him the World Dominator of 2011 for nothing. We know he’s popular. Jang Keun Suk himself knows he’s popular.
The actor, singer and shuffler extraordinaire draws in the viewer ratings in Korea and abroad, tops chartsand fills arena concert seats in Japan and has hung out with American electro pop duo LMFAO backstage.
Despite his high and mighty position as one of the highest paid celebrities in Japan, communicating with fans all around the world via Twitter and his official YouTube channel as well as giving back are still top priorities for the multi-entertainer.
KBS even aired a documentary about Jang’s popularity in Japan called The Center of Hallyu, I Am Jang Keun Suk. That’s pretty hard to compete with, but does the self-professed ‘Prince of Asia’ really rule over Asia? Vote now!
Since SBS drama City Hunter made Lee Min Ho a household name in China, the country has been wild for the actor. From appearing on Chinese English tests to inking a deal with a Chinese clothing brand, Lee has quickly become one of the most influential foreign celebrities in China. Oh, and Russian fans wouldn’t mind being stranded on an island with the actor.
Another sign you’ve reached hallyu star status? Being snapped by the paparazzi at the airport. True hallyu stars are constantly traveling, not hopping around from city to city but country to country, and we have theairport fashion photos to prove Lee is one star who is constantly on the go.
We love Lee Min Ho. China loves Lee Min Ho. Russia loves Lee Min Ho. But do you love Lee Min Ho?
If Jang Keun Suk is the Prince of Asia, Kim Hyun Joong is the ‘god of the universe.’ Okay, that’s according to one fan, but Jang should keep an eye on the former SS501 member, who has been shaking things up in China, Japan and Asia at large.
Not only did 2011 releases Breakdown and Lucky rank number one on the Oricon chart in Japan, he is one of the artists the country is most excited about for 2012.
He was a crowd pleaser in China and Yahoo! Asia was abuzz about the singer.
From topping album charts in Japan to wowing crowds in Singapore and enlisting American rapper Snoop Dogg for the remix of hit single The Boys, it would be safe to say that Girls’ Generation is well on its way to becoming an international sensation. And the girls say they’re ready to take on the universe.
They’re only getting hotter overseas, but do you think the group is the most successful hallyu star of the moment?
Girl’s Generation has been battling it out, literally, with Kara in Japan, with the two girl groups often facing off on various music charts in the country. Not only has Kara made its mark in Japan, where one can expect anything Kara-related, from albums to DVDs, to fly off shelves as soon as they’re released, the five-member girl group has left quite an impression in Taiwan.
If their packed schedules are any indication, the girls have definitely achieved hallyu star status, but is Kara the most successful hallyu artist? Cast your vote now!
Remember, the poll will be open until the end of the week, so get your votes in now. (The poll is juuuust to your right!)
