Singer Lee Hyori has triumphed top stars such as Kim Hae Soo and Han Chae Young to be crowned Korea's 'Marilyn Monroe'.

The movie 'My Week With Marilyn' is scheduled to hit the big screens in Korea towards the end of the month. To bring more awareness to the movie, a survey was recently held on a movie ticketing site asking viewers which sexy Korean star they felt could most effectively channel their inner Marilyn Monroe.

Although Lee Hyori was up against a lot of other talented and attractive contenders, she earned 36% of the votes to be crowned the overall winner.

It was a close race between Lee Hyori and sexy icon Kim Hae Soo, but a netizen who voted for Hyori explained, "Hyori has a rather glamorous figure, and is versatile, she can be mature, sexy, and cute."

On top of being attractive, Hyori also has a down-to-earth personality and a charming smile which gave her an edge against Kim Hae Soo.

Following Kim Hae Soo was 'mannequin figure' Han Chae Young who placed 3rd, and 4minute's HyunA who placed 4th.

Meanwhile, the movie 'My Week With Marilyn' hits the big screens in Korea on leap day, February 29th.
