Kong Hyo-jin Voted Best Actress of the Year

Kong Hyo-jin has been voted the best television star of this year.

In a recent poll of 1,700 viewers aged 13 or above by Gallup Korea released on Tuesday, about 12.4 percent of respondents picked Kong, mainly attributed to the popularity of her latest TV series, "When the Camellia Blooms," which wrapped on a high note late last month.

Kang Ha-neul and Goh Doo-shim, Kong's co-stars in the series, came second and third.

Park Bo-gum, a perennial heartthrob, ranked fourth, followed by Goo Yoo and Jung Hae-in, who shared the fifth spot.
