Psy may be garnering a staggering number of views worldwide with his “Gentleman” MV, but he was no match for Girls’ Generation and Lee Seung Gi who were recently voted as the most popular artists in Korea.

Research firm Leespiar conducted a poll asking 1,332 men and women 13-69 years old across Korea about the most popular stars.

Among the female celebrities, Girls’ Generation effortlessly maintained their #1 spot on the chart with a whopping 20.6% votes, a 1.5% increase from their previous ranking of 19.1%. Baek Ji Young, IU, SISTAR, Jang Yoon Jung, Lee Hyori, BoA, Park Jung Hyun, Ailee, and Lee Hi also made it onto the list.

Sunny and Seohyun praised for their voice narration on ‘Real Men’

Sunny and Seohyun have been praised for their voice narration on ‘Real Men‘.

The new variety show aired its first episode on April 14. The show features celebrities such as Kim Soo Ro and MBLAQ‘s Mir actually enlisting in the army and going through the same rigorous training that real soldiers receive.

Sunny and Seohyun had examined the soldiers’ experience from a woman’s point of view, and had narrated the show. They were amazed by the organization of the soldiers even when they were folding laundry and eating. They explained army terms that some people could be unfamiliar with, and helped liven up the show with their energy.

They earned much praise from the viewers who laughed at their humorous commentary, including Seohyun’s comment of, “I’m embarrassed, but that’s something fresh“, when she saw the men taking off their shirts to receive their physical.
