Kim Hyun Joong is currently leading a popularity poll on Yahoo! Taiwan. Yahoo! Taiwan and Yahoo! Hong Kong have come together for the Yahoo! Asia Buzz Awards 2009 and in the Taiwanese poll, Kim Hyun Joong is in first place for the Asia section with 401,235 votes.
Also, his group SS501 is in 2nd place with 60,396 votes which technically means he has almost 500,000 votes. It's been known that Boys Over Flowers started playing in Taiwan but the popularity of the show proved itself through this poll. Goo Hye Sun is in 6th place, Lee Min Ho in 11th, and Kim Bum in 22nd.
Guess it's Jihoo sunbae over Goo Jun Pyo in Taiwan.
Excluding the Boys Over Flowers cast, Super Junior is in 4th place with 22,448 votes, Lee Jun Ki is in 8th and Yoon Eun Hye is in 9th. Is this a poll for Asia or Korea?
A representative of Yahoo! Korea said, "This poll shows how big Hallyu is. I hope Korean stars bring in more votes in the days that are left for the poll."
These polls are for an actual awards show that is to be held inHongKong on December 14th. There's a few days left till the polls closebutit doesn't seem like anyone will come close to Kim Hyun Joong.
Renowned Korean designer Andre Kim is known for his ability to put top-notch stars who rarely show up in public events on the catwalk for his shows.
But never before yesterday were so many celebrities spotted at his show.
Kim yesterday hosted the "Best Star Awards" as well as presenting his Christmas collection, "Christmas Fashion Fantasia" at the newly-established design atelier in Giheung, Gyeonggi Province. The fashion show, which combined fashion and art, was the first-ever event held at the Giheung Atelier.
The newly-opened atelier, unlike most indoor ones, enables people to enjoy not only fashion but also nature. I aimed at presenting a show that resembles a winter world in a fairytale with the Christmas tree, snow and ice," Kim said at the event.
The event featured an impressive line-up of some 25 A-class actors and sports stars who were awarded the Best Star Awards by Kim. The list included actors Jung Kyung-ho and Kim Bum; actresses Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Hee-sun; and sports stars Shin Ji-yai and Kim Yu-na.
The awardees, according to the Andre Kim Atelier, were chosen by three criteria - outstanding acting and self-discipline, achievements that have promoted Korea in the world and humanism, helping those in need.
One would naturally wonder how Kim manages to keep such a good network of celebrities which also include political and economic figures and foreign ambassadors. It is a widely-known fact that late pop legend Michael Jackson too was a fan of Kim's clothes.
Kim's secret, especially regarding stars, is reading all the 17 local newspapers every morning - he discovers up-and-coming talent and cast them as main models for his show early on in their career.
Kim continues to maintain good relations with them afterwards like a family member so that even when they become famous and busy, they are happy to take up Kim's requests to model for his shows.
Gongjunim has blogged earlier on in July on Goo Hye Sun visiting a disabled children medical hospital and doing volunteer activities.
Here are more photos and report from YG WITH that I have found.
It was reported that on the day when Goo Hye Sun visited the hospital, it was raining heavily. Although there were many diffculties, it does not stop YG staff and her in coming to the hospital and participating in their volunteer activities. Each volunteer was matched to a child in helping them during their treatment. Like other volunteers, Goo Hye Sun was also assigned to a child and did her best in her volunteer activities.
Goo Hye Sun shown bright smiles to each action of the child and her expression looked so happy (picture as above). And thanks to Goo Hye Sun for being together here, all of us have a happy time.
When the child was having fear and bursting into tears while taking the medical checkup, Goo Hye Sun also shared the worries together and her heart felt hurt too (picture as below).
Starting from Goo Hye Sun to all other volunteers who have participated in the volunteer activities, it had been a thankful time and the children seemed to have brightened up much more now.
