I was looking for information on Son Heung-min, the South Korean footballer who plays for Tottenham in England, when I happened upon a graph that looks like a popularity chart of South Korean celebrities, top 100. Here is the top 10:
1. Son Heung-min footballer
2. 없음 (this is 'nobody', isn't it?)
3. BTS K-Pop group
4. 일반인
5. Kim Yu-na skater
6. Gong Yoo actor
7. Park Bo-gum actor
8. Park Seo-joon actor
9, Jeon Ji-hyun actress
10. Jung Hae-in actor
So I, with a basic knowledge of Korean entertainment, do recognize the others. But what or who is 일반인 ? When I do a Google search and click on "Images", what turns up is images of young women, most often showing a lot of skin. They certainly do not look like celebrities at all.
