We expect no less and so far we have *never* been disappointed. 🙂 Junsu Rules!
Exactly…Junsu’s da man!
hope i can be there too^^. junsu fighting!!!!!
I am so happy for Junsu and the rest of the cast that they are receiving so much great attention for “Death Note”!!!! I did not expect anything less!!!! But isn’t this info incorrect: Based on the percentage shouldn’t Jung Sun-ah be in the number one spot and Park Hye-na in the second spot?
1 | Park Hye-na, 19.5%
2 | Jung Sun-ah, 19.19%
Think of it this way:
1. Park Hye-na, 19.50%
2. Jung Sun-ah, 19.19%
which one is bigger now?
Oh if it is 19.50 then it is correct! Thanks for the info.
Sure. No problem 🙂
Park Hye-na is higher
The percentages are all double digits but usually when it ends in a zero(0), it isn’t shown.
Like Icecream said, it’s 19.50 but I didn’t put it that way because of how it’s written in the article
Thanks for the info. I now understand.
wow~ Junsu in Death Note???! Haha…I always imagine that Jaejoong to be L though XD

jaejoong said he doesn’t want to do musicals yet.
