Who Do Koreans Want To Go On A Trip With?

The Korean Times is not impressing me with their mastery of the English language.  But to be fair, I feel like this survey conducted is a tad absurd to begin with.  No less humorous though.

Source:
South Korean nine-member group “Girls’ Generation” has been selected as “the most wanted celebrity with” at summer resort in a survey conducted for 12,050 male and female adults by state-run KBS music channel FM2.
The first runner-up was comedian Yoo Jae-suk, 38; followed by actor Lee Seung-ki, 23; singer and actor Rain, 28; soccer star Park Ji-sung, 29; and comedian Kim Je-dong, 36. 
By gender, men in general have chosen ‘Girls’ Generation’ No. one for vacation and women has selected Lee Seung-gi.
In terms of age group, those in their 20s and 30s have selected ‘Girls’ Generation,’ those in their 40s Lee Seung-ki and those in their 50s or older like lee Myung-bak, cinger Rain and football star Park Ji-sung most.
When asked what kind of music they like to listen during their vacation, Cho Yong-pil’s “Leaving for Vacation” and Sweden’s pop group ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” placed top in local and foreign popular song, respectively.
Not sure why but I got the biggest chuckle out of Koreans over the age of fifty wanting most President Lee Myung-bak and Singer Rain.  Kudos to the copy editing team that missed the spelling error of "cinger."  I feel like if they just had spell check they would have caught that one.

I am also unsure why ABBA is making such a big come back in Korea.  Koreans love Dancing Queen for some reason (is it not totally random?).  I found a sweet vid of Girls' Generation singing Dancing Queen.  Check it out...
