The multi-talented entertainer Haha's blog topped the most searched for keyword on the nation's No. 1 search engine Naver last week.
Haha, who returned to the stage as a singer after a two-year hiatus, posted a message last week containing the emotions he had felt during his comeback. He sang a duet, ``You Are My Destiny,'' with his long-time colleague MC Mong, a Korean hip hop artist, during a K-pop program that aired on Dec. 7.
``I was nervous because it was my first appearance as a singer in two years,'' Haha said on his blog. ``I really appreciate my friend and colleague MC Mong who graced the stage with me.''
``You are my destiny'' has drawn a lot of attention after he confessed that he wrote the song to express his love toward his lover Ahn Hae-kyong.
His comeback album was released on Nov. 30.
Coming in second was the smash hit TV entertainment show ``Infinite Challenge.'' In the episode that aired Saturday, its five members made a unique calendar for 2008.
The epic drama ``Taewangsasingi'' ranked third on the list. The soap opera starring actor Bae Young-jun ended on Dec. 5. But a huge number of fans are still logging on to its official Web site to watch it again online.
Uzbek fashion model Abdullaeva Djamilya, who has been featuring on a local TV talk show program, was fifth on the list. She had recently expressed her affection toward actor Kwon Sang-woo and was able to meet with Kwon at the invitation of the actor. She posted several photographs that she took with Kwon on her blog, which drew the attention of Internet users.
With two days to go before the presidential election on Dec. 19, support ratings of the presidential candidates came in sixth.
Lee Myung-bak, frontrunner in the presidential race, won 44.7 percent support in a recent survey of 5,000 voters by JoongAng daily and SBS television network on Dec. 15, almost 30 percentage points ahead of the runner-up Chung Dong-young of the pro-government United New Democratic Party.
Cho Yeong-guk, 35, who was detained Wednesday on charges of killing a marine and stealing weapons ranked 10th on the list. The suspect will be questioned by military police over eight days before being subject to military prosecution. The police announced Cho suffers from depression and committed the crime impulsively.
