Forbes Korea’s Top 20 Power Celebrities 2011

http://www.allkpop.com/2012/02/forbes-korea-ranks-the-top-40-celebrities-of-korea

In celebration of their 9th year of establishment, Forbes Korea has reported this year’s list of the top 40 ‘Power Celebrities’, andGirls’ Generation has topped the list for the second year in a row.
‘Celebrity’ refers to an individual who is widely known by the masses, and Forbes takes 40 of these celebrities and ranks them based on income, influence, fame, and professionalism.
This format is the same that Forbes in the United States uses for their ‘Celebrity 100′ list, and the list is reported on an annual basis.
Girls’ Generation claimed the top two spots under the categories of most articles published, the highest number of television advertisements, TV appearances, and more. Additionally, the #1 celebrity most wanted by broadcasting companies is none other than Girls’ Generation, and the girls shot 36 television advertisements last year alone, and their album ‘The Boys‘ released late last year has sold over 380,000 copies.
The interesting thing to note about this year’s list is that 10 of the top 20 celebrities are idol singers. Here’s the breakdown of the idols in the top 20: Girls’ Generation in at #1, Big Bang at # 2, IU at #3,KARA at #4, B2ST at #9, 2PM at #11, JYJ at #13, TVXQ at #15, Super Junior at #16, and T-ARA at #17. The reason why these idols have made the list is because they have played a huge part in spreading K-pop awareness all over the globe. Flash mobs from New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and more began requesting performances from their favorite K-pop artists in their home countries, and cover-dance teams emulating K-pop choreographies have grown in number.
The only celebrities from last year’s list who made it within the top 10 this year are Olympic Gold medalist figure skaterKim Yuna, actor/singerLee Seung Gi, andManchester Unitedsoccer playerPark Ji Sung. Of all the celebrities, Kim Yuna has had the most media influence.

well miss a ..its because of Suzzy ,,,Cf's and Acting Career

The ranking is far from biased and opinionated, it 's one of the most legit survey out there. And MissA ranks high mainly thanks to Suzy has been everywhere in Korea last year. After School is simply not popular enough to rank on Top 40

true....for after school

[I LOVE U]

The ranking is far from biased and opinionated, it 's one of the most legit survey out there. And MissA ranks high mainly thanks to Suzy has been everywhere in Korea last year. After School is simply not popular enough to rank on Top 40

Dude let's be honest,

Uee is in a drama lately, and was in so many CF, and she don't get rank...

even shin Bora is on the list....

IU ???

Suzy fame is undeniable. however why don't they rank Suzy as an individual?? miss A top...

I tell u those Black Jacks ( 2NE1) fans gonna bash this article..

no comment really,, hmmmm ,

If u r clever, all ranking is biased and opinionated, go work in a press for a month, dude, u will undestand, no such thing is fair,,,,,

u must obey ur boss.

Maybe it is legit for a Korean who is living in Korea, but from international perspective, i doubt this guys really rank like what they ranked now? the rank is impair.

if not us, international fans,, i don't think K-wave will be successful. It is really pointless to rank people based on survey on Korean activities...

BAP is not on the list .... dude After School is not famous?.. did u stay in ur delusional world for too long... sorry for being impolite,, this is getting on my nerve.... and I will..

I understand pledis artists are not in frequently in the Radar,,,, where is KAHI and Son Dam Bi ,, they are famous,, all the artists bow to them... get ur facts right my dear

[I LOVE U]

KARA should be at least 3rd.

Sry if i need misled anyone, many of malaysian fans are kinda disappointed when the announcement about IU replacing Rainbow & Girl's Day for twin tower concert.

1. PLEDIS is "small" company who has Son Dam Bi, Kahi, After School ,Hello Venus, Nuest... as their labels//// interesting statement from you.

Suzy is on a high now, can't agree most.

If it is because solely of Suzy popularity, Miss A are able to rank ahead of the the other groups below.. I doubt that, those group won more awards

6) Miss A rank no. 17
7). Infinite - no. 20
8). CN Blue- no. 21
9) T-ara rank no. 22
10). TVXQ - rank no. 23
11). JYJ - rank no. 25
12) SISTAR rank no. 26
13). Beast - rank no. 29 BIg 3 have connections with Forbes Korea???

2. understand?? most are confused out there.

3. I know forbes, but i am questioning forbes Korea...

If u know how they rank the richest people on earth , they always rank public listed companies owners on top since those earning is easily accessible and disclosed.

Do u ever wonder why they didn't include ex-politicians in the list?? ,,u should have an answer to it.

I am glad u r working, if u r working in a field which required u to gather, analyze, interpret then report a situation or statistic, ur final report will be distorted anyway by /.....

4. why should I make a poll? Do u mean, when a statistic is done in Antarctica, it is only legit for people who are living there?? it is not meant for others to view and analyze??? hmmm ,,,, GLOBALIZATION?

5. I am not an international fan since i am a chinese??? haha so hilarious. Oh , did u failed ur geography?? i wonder, Chinese and Japanese are not international fans??? hmm ,,,, i will like to see your source, this is the very first time, people claim that the international fans contribute to album sales is less than 5 % ?? hahaha, let me know when u found ur source link>?

Will Psy Gangnam style become famous??? without the views from international fans, and foreign media>??? i doubt that,,, so international fans don't contribute to K-wave,,, my dear ??? u are pulling my leg.,

6. okay it is alright if u say so?? Miss A is famous enough to rank top 40.

7. bowing is a sign of respect and it is part of the tradition because of that. Kahi left After School long ago! No doubt i never deny that Soshi is famous...

By the way, Kahi and Son Dam Bi are famous I do wonder why Lee hyori is not on the list.?? mblaq? BAP?

Nah, I already get used to it, pledis label mates don't really got rank or awarded often..

the list is impair anyway..

when u r ranking (athletes, idol groups, actor, comedian) together = distorted rank .. simple as that.

pledis is a small company hmm,, isn't that ironic?

Edited February 28, 2013 by I LOVE U
