Who did 'Entertainment Relay' viewers vote for as their favorite Korean celebrity?

The October 8th run of the KBS show revealed the results of a 100-person poll asking for their favorite Korean "character" or celebrity. Not surprisingly, figure skater Kim Yuna came in at 3rd. She's made a permanent name for herself in the ice skating world and brought home multiple medals for South Korea.

In 2nd place is comedian Kim Byung Man, who you might recognize from SBS' 'Law of the Jungle'. Finally, the star who got the esteemed position of 1st place is none other than 'Nation's MC' Yoo Jae Suk! The 'Running Man' and 'Infinity Challenge' member is by no doubt viewers favorite host to see onscreen.

Who would you have voted for?

Yoo Jae suk and Kim Byung Man deserve these much of love ♥ they both work so hard

wasd • Sunday, October 9, 2016

Oh please, AKP be fair to KBS, God Yoo is also hosting Happy Together too! I respect the dude so much, not only for his entertainer chops but also for a kind-hearted human being that he is.

Somewhere on some parallel universe Mr Yoo is competing for the president. How blessed would that world be? But ofc here we got the Trump instead. Sad life

wasd Asterids • Sunday, October 9, 2016

He would've been to nice to be a politician, much less running for the white house. Clinton or Trump, pick your poison.

i can see why they are very favorable not surprised

dawkins • Sunday, October 9, 2016

I have no idea why Kim Yuna is so praised. She's a figure skater. Not really a celebrity to be honest. lol

strawberryyyjin dawkins • Sunday, October 9, 2016

Well she's broken world records.

dawkins strawberryyyjin • Sunday, October 9, 2016

And they've been broken. We're talking figure skating and not speed skating. She hasn't done anything athletic. Just danced on ice, which is admittedly hard, but hardly the pinnacle of sport.

strawberryyyjin dawkins • Sunday, October 9, 2016

I see your point, but she's also done a lot of endorsements, and well.. she's super pretty. She's good at what she does as well(although she did retire), and she's promoting the 2018 pyeongchang olympics. I think that's why we love her so much.

strawberryyyjin dawkins • Sunday, October 9, 2016

and she does still hold some really big records as of right now.

gchoneybllushhh dawkins • Sunday, October 9, 2016

she's S.Korea's golden girl and pride when it comes to figure skating.

Sprunk dawkins • Sunday, October 9, 2016

Go actually watch a Yuna Kim performance please... figure skating is just dancing on ice? What a fucking troll...

dawkins Sprunk • Sunday, October 9, 2016

I've seen figure skating. From skaters better than her even male performances. It really is a boring sport.

micahxo_lu dawkins • Monday, October 10, 2016

Boring doesn't mean it's not athletic.
