Soloist IU, also been named as Korea’s Nation’s “sister”, is well-known for her vocal and musical talent from a young age. Her breakthrough song has got to be “Good Day” featuring the “3-octave” note, blasting her to popularity in 2011. Her acoustic covers of fellow Korean artistes’ songs have also been well-loved, such as Girls’ Generation Gee, Super Junior’s Sorry Sorry, Big Bang’s Lies and Tamia’s Officially Missing You. (A compilation of her covers can also be watched here)

Along with Rain, known as the icon of KPOP everywhere else in the world – is BoA. No one can deny the talent of this solo female artist who started out at a tender age of 14 and went on to amaze Japan, the rest of Asia and even in United States. Famous for her singing and dancing skills, BoA was also one of the judges of star audition reality programme SBS Kpop Star, and starred in a Hollywood dance film COBU 3D set to be out in 2013. Just last week BoA released her 7th Korean album “Only One” with the title track written and composed byBoA herself. Her live performances featuring TVXQ’s U-Know, SHINee’s Taemin and Super Junior’s Eunhyuk have been garnering much attention as well.



“Lucky Guy” Kim Hyun Joong comes in third in position. From being the leader of boy group SS501 to becoming a successful solo artist with a bright acting career, Hyun Joong‘s charms seem endless on and off-screen. His notable role in Korean idol drama Boys Over Flowers (2009) gained him many fans which also helped establish his fanbase after each of SS501′s members went on with their solo careers, but his warm personality to fans, media and public were also often mentioned. Currently Hyun Joong is engaged with his promotions in Japan and will be returning to the Korean music scene next year with a new album.
