HyunA, IU & Girl's Day Land On Google's List Of 2014's Top Entertainment Searches In South Korea

Google has released a series of lists of the top entertainment-related searches in South Korea for 2014. The lists are filled with K-pop idol cameos, lovable athletes, and romantic dramas.

For the Most Searched Names list, unsurprisingly, the #1 spot was given to queen Kim Yuna. The figure skating darling won a silver medal for her country at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

The #2 spot was taken by 4Minute's HyunA, who had a highly successful year that included her own reality show, HyunA's Free Month, and the release of a new mini album, A Talk.

The #3 spot was taken by baseball player Ryu Hyun Jin and the #4 spot by Secret's Hyosung, who released the top-ten hit "Good Night Kiss" this year.

At #5 was deceased billionaire Yoo Byung Eun, the man accused by prosecutors of owning the shipping company that operated the Sewol disaster ferry.

The #6 spot was IU's, who released her first cover mini-album, A Flower Bookmark, to much success and praise.

At #7 was Girl's Day, who had a highly successful year filled with a series of hit singles and television appearances.

At #8 was deceased pop singer Shin Hae Chul and #9 was EXO, who had a tumultuous year filled with controversies and prestigious awards.

The list rounded out with model and actress Clara at #10.

For the Most Searched Television Shows, Infinite Challenge took the win. The variety program known for its hilarious challenges and top-star cameos is showing no signs of stopping its time-slot domination.
