Korean entertainment and popular culture, AKA "Hallyu," is all the rage right now, with their addictive TV series and catchy music that's taken over Arab youngsters and adults alike.

But there's one particular Korean who stole the hearts of women (and men?) more than any of his fellow showbiz buddies: Lee Min Ho!

According to a recent poll, the 28-year-old actor was voted most popular amongst Arab Hallyu enthusiasts.

The survey sampled 3000 KBS Radio listeners from 22 Arab-speaking countries, and the "Gangnam 1970" star dominated the results with 14.8 of the vote.

Voters "immediately and positively associated Lee with South Korea," reported K Pop Starz.

Surprised with the results? Nope. Lee is not only a talented star, but he has a smile to die for, a fab wardrobe and he ain't bad to look at either!

Lee also enjoys popularity with an international audience through his high-profile endorsements, and after most recently being appointed the honorary ambassador to the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.
