SNSD‘s influence and popularity is proven yet again as they were chosen as Korea’s no. 1 Power Celebrity by Forbes Korea this year.
Manchester United’s winger and former captain for the Korean soccer team, Park Jisung came in second after SNSD while Korea’s figure-skating queen, Kim Yuna, is placed third this year after topping the list for two consecutive years previously.
The list of Top 40 celebrities were revealed in conjunction with the 8th anniversary of Forbes Korea’s founding. The ranking were determined by appearances on news articles, TV advertisements, Internet searches and so on. Other than the overall ranking, Forbes Korea also listed celebrities in terms of Sales, Media, Broadcast and Activities.
SNSD ranked second for the Sales and Media category respectively, third for Broadcast and came in first for Activities. SNSD had a tremendous success last year in terms of music sales where they recorded a massive 270,000 copies on Hanteo Chart in addition to the numerous awards they won on almost every major music awards ceremony.
Actor-host Lee Seunggi also made the list at fourth while boybands 2PM and 2AM charted at fifth and eighth places respectively. Nation’s MC Yoo Jaesuk and Kang Hodong made it at sixth and tenth.
