  1. Bae Doo Na (actress; loved her ever since Cloud Atlas.)
  2. Cha Tae Hyun (actor; I got introduced to him through 1 Night 2 Days.)
  3. Cha Yu Ram (athlete; billiards player; via The Genius S1)
  4. Choi Jin Hyuk (actor; I'm pretty sure I first saw him in the drama Emergency Couple through Song Ji Hyo...he's just gorgeous O_O)
  5. Chun Jung Myun (actor; through Running Man, I truly fell in love with him during episode 167)
  6. Do Sang Woo (model/actor; I saw him in Ex-Girlfriends Club with Song Ji Hyo and my heart fluttered; I suffered from second lead syndrome)
  7. Go Chang Suk (actor; saw him in Running Man, didn't know who he was, then ended up watching "The Huntresses" with Ha Ji Won, Kang Ye Won, and Ga In and he was in it...so I went back the RM episode he was in and watched it again. He's adorable! Also the Ugly Friends Festival on Infinity Challenge. The cutest man I ever did see!)
  8. Go Soo (actor; Running Man and then the movie Some with Song Ji Hyo)
  9. Gong Myung (actor/singer; he's a part of 5urprise but he co-hosts Beauty View with Song Ji Hyo atm)
  10. Ha Dong Hoon aka Haha (reggae singer; Running Man, of course)
  11. Ha Ji Won (actress; introduced to her through Running Man...I think. Then I watched her movies The Huntresses, As One [Korea], and Haeundae)
  12. Han Hyo Joo (actress; via Running Man. She was such a good sport in the episodes she was in, so I had to learn more about her. I've watched just about ever drama, movie, variety show she has been on. Definitely a fave actress of mine.)
  13. Han Ye Ri (actress; I first saw her in As One [Korea] with Bae Doo Na and I really liked her, although I couldn't find many more movies or shows to watch with her in it. Now, she's guested in Running Man and she also was a character in Age Of Youth/Hello My Twenties on Netflix which I really enjoyed)
  14. Heo Kyung Hwan (comedian; Human Condition)
  15. Hong Jin Ho (retired pro gamer; via Running Man I'm pretty sure. Y'all see repetition? XD Anyway, then I watched The Genius and got hooked)

  17. Hong Seok Cheon (Wikipedia says actor but I know him as a chef on Please Take Care of My Refrigerator LOL; he's openly gay in Korea, which I find incredibly brave and inspiring)

  56. Yoo Se Yoon (comedian; host of Abnormal/Non-Summit)

  58. Yoon Shi Yoon (actor; aka Yoon Dong Gu on 1N2D; I also watched Mirror of the Witch, which I actually enjoyed)

 

I need to show some love to the "non-celebrity" Koreans I see on a pretty frequent basis. These mostly include staff members of the variety shows I love:

  2. Go Dong Hwan (as a floor director for Running Man)
  3. Im Hyung Taek (aka Taek PD; via production director for Running Man)
  4. Kim Joo Hyung (aka Myuk PD; via production director for Running Man; has since moved back to producing SBS's Ingkigayo)
  5. Kim Tae Ho (IC PD)
  6. Ryu Ho Jin (as a production director for 1 Night 2 Days)
  7. Ryu Kwon Ryeol (via Yoo Jae Suk's VJ for Running Man, and I've seen him VJ for other shows as well, which is cool)
