Actors Jang Dong-gun and Daniel Henney, popstar Rain and 17 other hunks have been selected by CNN Go as South Korea’s 20 hottest male celebrities.

CNN Go is a new website by the leading news channel that is dedicated to what’s happening in Asia.

The top 20 list was selected based on the stars’ “drool” meter.

“There are men, and then there are MEN. These specially chosen South Korean celebs, who we've selected purely on the basis of how much drool they elicited from the female members of our staff, no doubt have solid acting, modeling and/or singing skills. But it's their chocolate abs, sublime faces and lean, mean, sex-machine bodies that get them a place on this list,” CNN Go wrote about the celebrities.

One interesting note is that the three stars of the hit drama series “Boys over Flowers” are on the list. They are Kim Hyun Joong, Lee Min-ho and Kim Bum.

Jang Dong-gun topped the list which CNN Go described as a star that “has been sizzling up screens for over a decade.”

Here are excerpts from the descriptions of CNN Go about the hottest male stars on the list:

Won Bin – “South Koreans are obsessed with actor/ model Won Bin. Can a man be more perfect? With his chiseled face and sultry voice, it's a wonder women don't faint at the very sight of him.”

Bae Yong Joon – “The highest paid South Korean celeb rose to fame in the 2002 KBS's mega hit "Winter Sonata". He did not only become a celebrity, but a worldwide superstar.”

Jo Jin-Mo – “Talented star Ju Jin-Mo will always be the ladies' man.”

Jo In-sung – “A beautiful face, great height and an unsurpassed talent.”

Lee Jun-ki – “His hard work ethic paid off after years as a model and taking small roles in many dramas.”

Daniel Henney - He has a soothing voice, perfect body, and exquisite manners. He is the whole package."

Other celebrities that made the top 20 are Dennis Oh, So JiSeob, Rain, Yoon SangHyun, Lee Min-Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Jang Geun Seok, Lee Seung-gi, Choi Min-Shik, Song Seung-Heon, Kwon SangWoo, and Ha Jung-woo.
