Readers of Time Magazine online have chosen Korea's heartthrob singer Rain as the most influential person on the planet in an online vote.
In an article "Time learns that popular taste can vary a lot with the test market", the New York Times said Rain received over 470, 000 votes out of the total 2,500,000 cast by participants around the globe, with users choosing from a list of 200 nominees selected by Time editors.
Rain received far more votes than the runner ups Stephen Colbert, an American political satirist, and American Idol's star Sanjaya Malakar.
Introducing Rain as a 24-year-old singer who is phenomenally popular in Asia, the New York Times wrote that the singer seems like "Korea's answer to Jon Bon Jovi", quoting Josh Tyrangiel, a deputy managing editor of Time.com.
Time editors said the vote was an international one and people were allowed to vote as many times as they liked.
Noting that the results did not influence the list of Time's 100 most influential people as chosen by editors in the May 14 issue, Adi Ignatius, the deputy managing editor of Time who oversees the Time 100 said he could foresee the magazine taking readers' opinions into account in future Time 100 lists.
