It is nice seeing asians on the list.. i remember jacky chan and andy lau on the list too. I hope to see hyori on there one day. She does a lot of movements charities and organizations mainly involving child welfare and animal shelters animal cruelty. Maybe hyori isnt popukar internationally but she is part of the original KPOP generation.... so many idols have noted she is their favorite idol growing up and plays a HUGE influence for idols today.
