SOME KOREAN-SPICE FOR THE FANGIRLS
Nusrat Progga
There is no better fangirl than the one who listens to K-pop or watches K-drama. They get ridiculed so much sometimes and yet they still hang on to their love for Korean culture. I had a little chat with Shazmeen Haq who is known for her amazing and well-crafted cosplaying, and of course, her love for K-pop (she was actually on a radio show recently talking about it). Shazmeen explained to me how K-pop fans are usually hyper, and are actually crazy enough to buy the albums instead of downloading them, thus proving how loyal they are. I couldn’t agree more with Shazmeen, and so today I am going to announce my list of the top Korean male eye-candies, hoping that it might make you feel better (going hubba hubba over Korean superstars is the best kind of therapy). So, forget about the harsh words said by those whose lives aren’t nearly as fabulous as yours, and keep reading this list!
1) CHOI MIN-HO, SHINee: He is a South Korean singer, rapper, actor, presenter, model, and the boy a lot of us have a crush on. Minho is listed as one of the top Korean stars, receiving 300 Million Won as his annual advertising rate. Minho was appointed as Unicef Unihero Campaign Ambassadors “Giving hope to the children.
2) KAI, EXO: Kai joined the company after winning in the 10th S.M. Youth Best Contest in 2007, at only thirteen years of age.
3) KRIS, EXO: He is Canadian-Chinese actor and singer-songwriter. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, English, Korean, and speaking to a girl’s heart.
4) DANIEL HENNEY: You might know him from Seducing Mr. Perfect, My Father, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Shanghai Calling, The Last Stand, and Big Hero 6. You have to see his picture that was on the cover of ELLE Magazine to know why he is in this list. *stares at Daniel’s abs*
5) SEUNG-GI LEE: He definitely takes the best smile award from this list! Besides having a million-dollar-smile, he also has quite a lot of awards for the drama he starred in called Shining Inheritance!
6) L, INFINITE: He also has a charming smile, and fangirls over the internet often rate him as the most handsome Korean star out there.
7) T.O.P, BIG BANG: As a kid, T.O.P. was pretty active in the underground rap scene and was later rejected as too chubby for K-pop. But now he is a successful actor, heh. He is too cool for K-Pop anyways.
8) LEE MIN HO: I am afraid that if I don’t include him in this list, fan girls from all over the world might hunt me down and kill me.
9) HYUN-BIN: He had his breakthrough when he played the lead role in a romantic fantasy K-drama “Secret Garden” which brought him massive popularity. Why did I put him on him list? Well, apart from being one of the most popular actors in Korea, he does have a nice set of dimples! Who does not like dimples?
10) SO JI SUB: No matter what anyone says, he will always be my number one. No one can top him on the handsomeness chart. It took me two episodes from Oh My Venus to fall in love with him, where he played the role of a millionaire doctor/personal trainer. Oh how I wish it was me instead of “ma’am” who got trained by him…personally. *silently drools over him*
