The results of an online poll conducted last week showed that of the total 5,299 respondents, 2,677 (50.9 percent) chose Song Il-kuk as the best actor among all the children of previous-generation celebrities. The second-best second-generation actor was Yeon Jeong-hoon, who received 2,591 votes (49.1 percent).

Actor Kim Eul-dong`s son Song Il-kuk has become very popular recently for portraying the charismatic character of Yeom-jang in the KBS TV2 series `Emperor of the Sea,` which is quite rare for an actor playing a sinister role. He also showed off his outstanding acting skills in the horror movie `Red Eye,` which opened on Feb. 18, where he plays the lead part of Chan-sik.

Meanwhile, the results of another poll showed that 4,306 (65.4 percent) of a total 6,581 respondents chose Jae Hee as Han Chae-young`s preferred `love interest` in the KBS TV2 miniseries `Sassy Girl Chung-hyang` over Um Tae-woong, who portrays the cool-headed Byun Hak-do and received 2,275 votes (34.6 percent).
