In K-pop, Could "Kim" Be The Most Powerful Last Name?

Last week we set out to see if "Lee" could be the most powerful surname in K-pop and we came up with loads of stars that could make a strong argument that "Lee" could indeed be the most powerful last name in K-pop. But it wouldn't be fair not to include other surnames and their representatives. Fun fact: "Kim" is the most common family name in both North and South Korea. If you meet a Korean person in your life, the chances of them having the last name of "Kim" is highly probable. Let's take a look at some of the biggest K-pop stars with the last name of "Kim," and see if they are the rulers of the Korean surname.

One of the most popular members in Super Junior, Heechul is a Kim! He's quirky, eccentric, loveable, and one of the most famous faces in K-pop.

Ex-ulzzang and popular member of the biggest rookie group out right now, B.A.P, Himchan, is a Kim! Pretty, loveable, talented, and undeniably a strong candidate for the "Kim" argument.

4minute's superstar member HyunA is a Kim! I had no idea the sexy starlet was a Kim and arguably one of the most popular members in K-pop!

Oh my, this might be the straw that break's the "Lee's" back of being the most powerful surname. Are you ready for this one? Both JYJ's Jaejoong and Junsu are Kims! Is this the double knock-out of the battle between the Lees vs the Kims?

Dinosaur cutie Jonghyun of SHINee is also a Kim and a talented one indeed! His fellow partner in crime Key is also a Kim!

Oh my goodness, I completely forgot that SS501's Hyunjoong is a Kim! Jaejoong, Junsu, and now Hyunjoong? I'm worried for the Lees at this point.

Wonder Girls' sexiest member Yoobin is a Kim and so is After School's Uee!

What are we thinking? Are the "Kims" in K-pop more powerful in superstar power than the "Lees?"
