tvN’s “The List” recently compiled their list of stars who have conquered 2016 and made this year their own.

The first place went to none other than Park Bo Gum. Park Bo Gum started the year with “Reply 1988,” which quickly elevated his status to a top actor.

He extended his popularity overseas as an international star, collecting nine awards from this year alone. He is also a popular advertisement model, with 12 endorsements to his name.

Second place was comedian Yang Se Hyung. He guested on the popular variety show “Infinite Challenge” in April, and although he is not yet confirmed as a fixed cast member, he has been appearing each week on the show, even earning kudos from Yoo Jae Suk. In addition to “Infinite Challenge,” he is also on “SNL Korea” as well as eight other shows. He also has several endorsement contracts.

Third place was the trending girl group TWICE. Starting with the track “Like OOH-AHH,” the group won their first newcomer award just 44 days after debuting, and they have continued their string of hits with “CHEER UP” and “TT.” They also took the top place in brand reputation rankings for November, and have over 10 endorsement contracts to their name.
