The Korean media outlet Top Star News recently listed the top 50 k-celebs that have the most Weibo followers.
It's probably no surprise that Lee Min Ho ranked in first place on the Korean Star Sina Weibo Ranking. The Hallyu star ruled the rankings with an impressive 27,437,227 followers. And apparently his popularity is still growing. That figure is up a few million since he became the first Korean star to reach 20 million followers. As a star, he has demonstrated staying power. Lee Min Ho's 2015 film "Gangnam Blues" probably won him a few new fans but his last small screen role was in the 2013 drama "The Heirs."
"Gangnam Style" singer Psy stayed in second place on the rankings but seems to be slipping, having lost over 70,000 followers in the last three months.
In third place was singer-actor Jang Geun Suk, last seen on the small screen in the 2013 drama "Pretty Man." Jang, who released his third solo album, "Monochrome," this year scored a total of 18,453,592 followers.
Victoria of f(x) claimed fourth place in the rankings and first place among the female stars with 16,560,557 followers. Close behind is actor Lee Jun Ki. Last seen in the 2014 drama "The Joseon Gunman" and soon to be seen in the 2015 film "Begin Again," he has 16,560,557 followers.
