2017 has been an astonishing year for showbiz, with plenty of gossip going around. Yahoo Kimo has recently announced its Top 10 list of entertainers in news searches. Singer Cyndi Wang, whose private photo was leaked allegedly by her ex-boyfriend, gained the top spot on the list, followed by entertainer Chris Ke, whose husband, a celebrity chef, was caught cheating.
Korean stars, who occupy half of the spots on the list, remain popular. In addition to actor Gong Yoo at no. 3, actors Kim Joo-hyuk and Park Hyung-sik, actress Kim Go-eun and actor Park Bo-gum are at nos. 4, 5, 7 and 9.
Taiwanese rock band Mayday and supermodel Lin Chih-ling also made the list at the sixth and tenth spots, respectively, while rising Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong took the eighth. Guan shot to fame after singer Luhan — one of China’s hottest "little fresh meats" (hunks) — revealed on his Weibo page in October that they are in a relationship.
