Korean actor Lee Jun-ki has been voted the top Hallyu star in China, according to his agency on Friday.
The actor came in first, beating Rain and actress Song Hye-kyo, in the "2009 Most Popular Korean Star" survey held by CRI Online, a major portal in China, Mentor Entertainment said in a press release.
"The foundation of Lee's popularity in the Chinese market is more solid than any other Hallyu star syndrome," an official working at a Taiwanese broadcaster was quoted as saying. "I don't think his popularity will decline anytime soon."
The 27-year-old actor rose to stardom playing a woman-like male clown in the 2005 hit film "The King and the Clown".
