    A recent study showed that BoA received the 4th highest salary of any Korean in the year 2007. In first came the all famous actor Bae Yong Jun, who is loved around the world for his romantic dramas and great body. In third was pop singer Rain who was selected one of Time's world's most influential figures last year. Here are the rankings of the top 14 figures with the highest salary in 2007.

    1. Bae Yong Jun (Actor) - $43,200,000
    2. Yun Jong Yong (Samsung Electronics Vice President) - $25,300,000
    3. Rain (Singer) - $25,000,000
    4. BoA (Singer) - $18,300,000
    5. Lee Ki Tae (Samsung Electronics Research Center Vice President) - $14,160,000
    6. Lee Yun Woo (Samsung Electronics Vice President) - $14,100,000
    7. Lee Kun Hee (Samsung Group President) - $12,000,000
    8. Hwang Chang Kyu (Samsung Semiconductors Research Center Vice President) - $10,600,000
    9. Lee Hak Su (Samsung Group Vice President) - $10,200,000
    10. Jung Mong Gu (Hyundai/Kia Group President) - $9,200,000
    11. Hyori (Singer) - $5,500,000
    12. Jun Ji Hyun (Actress) - $5,000,000
    13. Yun Eun Hye (Model/Actress) - $4,000,000
    14. Yoo Jae Suk (MC) - $3,500,000

    Amazingly, BoA is the only female and the youngest in the top ten list. In the largely male dominated society, BoA still stands out as Korea's best female artist despite having been in Japan for the last 3 years.
