Love your KBS World channel? Then you have man at No. 17 Jung Yun-joo to thank as he's the president of the Korean Broadcasting System.

Jeong Ji-hoo aka Rain is hot on the tail of Mr. Jung of KBS. The Speed Racer actor zooms in at No. 18.

Laughing his way to No. 19 is MC and comedian Yoo Jae-suk, who lent his voice talent to the Korean version of Bee Movie.

Park Chan-wook the man who gave the masses Old Boy blazes a path to No. 27.

Every hot-blooded guy loves sexy singer Lee Hyori, who is your Dark Angel at No. 72.

Young and successful, BoA slithers in at No. 84 while D-War director Shim Hyung-rae lands at No. 91.
