Say goodbye to the Western hotties and welcome Asia's finest.

I virtually fell in love with Korea since the day I started watching Rain and Song Hye Kyo's Full House---in 2004, that is. Well, technically, this whole Asian madness was triggered by my addiction to Taiwan's Meteor Garden.

That explains the reason why Vic Zhou is here. :)

Okay so this was supposed to be 50, but I only came up with 29 Koreans + 1 Taiwanese. XD
So yeah. Here it goes.

1. Jung Yunho

DBSK's effervescent leader and undisputed dancing king is at the top of my list. He swept me away with his awesome leadership skills --- which was something I did not have back in the days. I really admire his humility and genuine kindness to everyone.
His dancing skills were also one of the best I've ever seen. He always goofs around like a child, but when it's business, he means business. He always makes sure that he gives his best during performances, to the extent of even performing even if he's sick, or even if he has an injury. And the manboobs were a plus. :P

2. Park Yoochun

He is the only guy who can make me betray Yunho. There were times when I literally rolled on the floor because I overflailed for him. TVXQ's resident dandy boy wowed me with his ever-amiable face---who could resist that heavenly smile of his? Add his sexy bedroom voice + collarbones + acting prowress + songwriting skills + chungrish + chunface. Total romantic guy package.

3. Kim Jaejoong

The man born with two sexes comes in third place. Kim Jaejoong, the default favorite member in TVXQ was the 1st guy I noticed when I first came across the group in 2006. When I first saw him, I gasped because he was sooooo beautiful. I admit it, I got insecured by his beauty. (Well, who didn't?) I even thought he was the leader because he was always in the middle during photo-ops. His voice is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.

4. Shim Changmin

TVXQ's evil maknae and refrigerator king comes fourth in this list. I fell in love with him when Mirotic's MV first aired in 2008. GAADDD he was so hot in that water scene. And who could ever forget that sonic scream in Rising Sun, Mirotic, and Why (Keep Your Head Down)? His bullying skills are also one of the best I've seen. ;)

5. Kim Junsu

Last but not the least, Junsu the pseudo-maknae never fails to make me smile becasue of his eungkyangkyang and oyaji gags. He's like an innocent child waiting for his playmates. That picture itself is so squishy-worthy. But what makes him special is his drastic transformation onstage during performances. :)

LOL DBSK will forever be the top 5~

6. Park Yoohwan (Yoochun's Brother)

Yoochun's equally charming brother comes at 6th place. Following the steps of Yoochun, he recently debuted as an actor. What I admire most about him is that he did not take advantage of his brother's popularity and decided to make a name of his own. And oh, I really love he fact that he and Yoochun got the same AKTF tattoos. ♥ Talk about brotherly love. Well, it won't be long until he engraves his name as one of Korea's new generation of actions.

7. Yoo Ah In (Sungkyungkwan Scandal)

Sungkyunkwan University's bad boy Geol Oh makes it to the top10 list. Yoo Ah In was just perfect as Moon Jae Shin in the drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Yoo Ah In's transformation from an innocent guy in He Who Can't Marry to a rebellious punk in Sungkyunkwan Scandal is truly a commendable one. His charm is so irresistable, and I wouldn't mind being shot by his love arrow.

8. Yoon Shi Yoon (The Baker King)

Korea's new sweetheart Yoon Si Yoon hit it bigtime via the hit drama The Baker King. We all cried along with him and the sufferings he underwent in the drama. With that acting skills, I know he will go a long way.

9. Seungri - Big Bang

KPOP's original Panda and Yunho's kababayan in Gwangju is at 9th place. Seungri's goofiness and unique dancing skills made me fall over heels for him. He's my original bias in Big Bang.

10. Doojoon - B2ST

Just like Yunho, I admire Doojoon's leadership skill in B2ST~ One of the best I've seen as well. And yes, just look at those piercing eyes of his. *_*

11. Minho - SHINee

Flaming charisma really stood up to his name. With his superb rapping skill and wit, he has captured the hearts of many noonas. Come to noonaaaaa!! :D

12. Song Joong Ki (Sungkyunkwan Scandal)

Yoo Ah In's other half in Syngkyunkwan Scandal is indeed a girl magnet. The monicker Yeorim really fits him. This actor + model + host will surely go places with his irresistable charm. Have you seen him wink? You'll surely die. :)

13. Vic Zhou (Meteor Garden)

And now here comes the only non-Korean in the list. My admiration for Vic Zhou traces back to 2003, when the Meteor Garden madness hit the Philippine shores. That was he and fellow F4 members Jerry Yan, Ken Zhu, and Vanness Wu. These guys became a household and the mania spread like wildfire. Who would have thought that he just accompanied his friend to audition for Hua Ze Lei's role, and he ended up getting the role instead? ;) His innocence and charm really turned me on. I've got a secret: His poster in our room is already 8years old :D

14. Onew - SHINee

Onew is the third leader of an idol group in my list. He is known to break walnuts with his fingers---something which is really hard to do. When I saw him in person last 2009, I almost fainted when he smiled. Heaven. :P

15. Taemin - SHINee

SHINee's lead dancer and maknae Taemin makes it at number 15. Man, I have to say, this kid is wicked sick at dancing!! :)

16. Song Seung Hun (Autumn in My Heart)
