111103 SNSD chosen as best representative, of spring
A survey was conducted recently among 7,936 members of Visit Korea, the official Korea Tourism guide website, from 81 countries to find out the best Hallyu stars to represent each season in Korea.
From the survey, Girls’ Generation received the most votes to represent the lovely and beautiful season of spring. Other celebrities such as Super Junior, Hyun Bin and Bae Yong-joon were chosen to best represent summer, autumn and winter respectively.
Interestingly enough, the results vary across language groups. Visit Korea members from eight language groups, including English, Chinese, Japanese and German, made their choice and agreed that Girls’ Generation is most suitable to represent Korea’s spring.
On the other hand, most English speakers selected Super Junior to best represent summer and winter, while most Chinese speakers chose Hyun Bin for autumn and winter. Bae Yong-joon was selected by most English, Chinese, Japanese and Russian speakers to represent winter.
