Top 5 Trending Korean Words in Philippines

Did you know why Filipino are so addicted with Korean romantic movies? As I remember during my high school days I am also a fanatic of those Korean novelas because of its unique ending and different story. Aside from that, their characters I mean the actors are so cute and adorable. The main characters looked innocent with baby faces. (Funny but its true!)
Other things I liked the most are the Korean languages which I tried memorizing them and saying as my language, and I listed the top five of it.
