By Ko Dong-hwan

Crooner Seong Si-kyung was voted by Korean women as the man they most desire for reading a book to them.

Seong, also popular as a television emcee and radio host, garnered 33 percent of the votes in a survey by the Korean Publishers Association participated by 630 women.

Actor Lee Sun-kyun finished second with a 20 percent support, followed by actor Cho Seung-woo (18 percent), Kim Soo-hyun (16 percent) and Kim Woo-bin (13 percent).

Unfortunately, Korean government data also shows that Koreans hardly read books.
