Usually, being the most searched celebrity on a search engine shows the fame that a certain person has. Well 2009 wasn't any different for these headline hoggers.

The most searched artists on Korean search engine and media portal Nate.com in 2009 was the new girl group 2NE1. They debuted with their single "Fire" in May of this year. So in over half a year, they became the most searched artists on Nate. What a big achievement considering the fact that 2PM and SNSD came in second and third respectively.

Who was the most searched actor? It was no other than Flower Boy Lee Min Ho! It was a great year for the star of "Boys Over Flower" as he became a CF magnet and definitely has been a headline hogger.
