Korea’s popular idol star Jang Keun-suk is likely to receive two awards for the upcoming Yahoo! Buzz Awards 2010, according to Jang’s promoter Tree J. Company on Thursday.
Tree J. announced in press release that Jang is currently first in two of three categories -- top male star and top Asian star -- in a popularity poll including Internet users in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Indonesia between November 8 to December 1.
The count so far indicates that in the category for top male star, Jang has garnered over a total 5.6 million votes which is twice the amount lodged by the first runner-up and nearly 10 million votes in the survey for top Asian star.
He has been competing against Korean heartthrobs such as Super Junior, Kim Hyun-joong, Rain, 2PM and Lee Seung-gi .
Based on the popularity of his hit dramas such as "Hwang Jinny (2006),” “Beethoven Virus (2008)” and “Minamishineyo (2009),” Jang took off on a six-month long tour to meet with his fans in Taiwan, Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka and Hong Kong during the early half of his year.
