Which kdrama stars would you consider bringing home to meet mom and dad?
In time for the Korean fall harvest festival known as Chuseok, a Korean marriage information company asked single people to make a choice among some popular stars.
If you had to bring a star home for the holidays, the survey asked, which star would that be? The selection could not be based on looks and talent alone. That star had to be one you thought your mom and dad would approve of.
The winners of the Duo survey conducted this August were Lee Sang Yoon and Lee Bo Young.
Lee Sang Yoon, who plays Prince Gwanghee in "Goddess of Fire: Jeonji" and appeared in "Life is Beautiful," achieved first place among the men most likely to be welcomed by parents. The 32-year-old star rated 18.9 percent.
