2009 has sure been an eventful year - and to celebrate such a year, Google Zeitgeist has released the list of their Top 10 Most Searched terms in several different categories for several countries. Among those countries was South Korea. In the Entertainment / Celebrity Category, the girls of Girls' Generation / SNSD came out on top.
Top 10 Searched Celebrities: SNSD / Girls' Generation Kim Ah Joong Jang Ja Yeon UEE 2NE1 Jessica Gomez Baek Ji Young 2PM Big Bang TaeyeonI'm surprised that both TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki and Jaebeom weren't on the list, but then again I believe most Koreans use Korean search portals such as Naver, rather than Google for their searches. The rest of the categories if you're interested:
