Actor Hyun Bin and Singer IU were chosen to be the #1 celebrities people would want to bring back home for the Lunar New Year.

The KBS Research Institute of Programming Arts conducted a survey from the 18th to the 20th asking over 13,000 people above the age of 19 the following, “Who is the female/male celebrity you would like to accompany you on your trip back home for the Lunar New Year?”, and both Hyun Bin and IU came out at #1.

IU came in 1st with 14.8% of the 6,423 male votes, while Kim Tae Hee came in 2nd with 12.5% of the votes. Following them were Ha Ji Won with 9.4%, Lee Min Jung with 7.4% and Soo Ae with 6.3% of the votes.

*Translator's Note: Details about Hyun Bin have been omitted. Also, the Lunar New Year is a very important holiday for Koreans and almost everyone travels back to their hometown to be with their families. Generally, almost all retail stores and businesses will close for at least 2 - 3 days during this time, so there's really not much to do other than be at home.
