"If I were with the figure skating champion, time would pass so quickly", one soldier said. "I would even volunteer to do extra hours".

Another focused on Kim's personality. "If I were working with a good-hearted person like Kim, I would feel warm even during the very cold winter", he said.

Footballer Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League came in second with 13.9 percent, followed by rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae with 10.9 percent and retired footballer Park Ji-sung with 6.9 percent.
