List appended 7.19.09
Ever since I met my boyfriend, I have been unable to find guys who aren't East Asian attractive! I think
I may have some sort of disorder, lol. You all are going to have to help me think up a name for it so I can tell people that I'm not crazy and that I have a legit disorder. It's like permanent beer goggles or something.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites -- they are either from South Korea, China, or Taiwan -- I'm not particularly attracted to Japanese guys for some reason. Maybe because they look too feminine
Here's the list:
Cho Kyuhyun / South Korean
Claim to fame: One of the thirteen members of the South Korean supergroup "Super Junior."
Why is he on the list? He has one of the best voices out of any of the members in the group, and sounds fantastic on his own. He is used more in each song than any of the other members because he has a more impressive vocal range. Many fans don't realize that even though he's not singing the main vocals some of the time, his voice is loudest in the chorus and he is used for extended notes. He is also a member of all of the Super Junior mini-groups, unlike any of the other members.

Max Changmin / South Korean
Claim to fame: The powerful vocal lead from Super Junior's rival group, "Dong Bang Shin Ki/DBSK/TVXQ." He serves the same purpose in DBSK as Cho Kyuhyun does in Super Junior. He has also had two solo singles, both of which are very different from one another: one is a rock fusion piece, while the other is a soulful, softer track. Both songs show how diverse his vocal talents are and how large his vocal scale really is. With each new album, Max Changmin wows fans again and redefines the limits of his talents.
Why is he on the list? Despite being awarded for his efforts and talents all the time, he continues to remain humble and very much an average human being. Even though he is an asian pop superstar, he is still taking time out of his schedule to focus on university, and, most importantly, his family (especially the little sister he always dedicates his songs to).

Jiro Wang / Taiwanese
Claim to fame: He is the lead singer and, if applicable, the guitarist, for the pop group Fahrenheit. They've been so successful in countries other than their homeland, Taiwan, that Avex Japan has produced Japanese albums for them (even though they don't speak Japanese). Jiro isn't particularly talented at musicmaking. However, his real talent shines through when he portrays a character in one of many idol dramas. He is a very sought-after actor and model because of his versatility in facial expression, diction, and emotion.
Why is he on the list? If you ever get a chance, even if you don't speak Chinese, take some time to watch an episode of It Started With A Kiss part 1, It Started With A Kiss 2, or ToGetHer/Superstar Express. In It Started With A Kiss, he portrays an apprentice chef and awkward, selfless, and shy admirer of the female lead. His character in ToGetHer/Superstar Express is in stark contrast with the former, being highly loud and self-centered. If you would like, you can view episodes of both dramas at Watch Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese Drama and Movie online! .

Choi Siwon / South Korean
Claim to fame: He was one of the first members of the original Super Junior group, "Super Junior 05" (the '05' was dropped when the 12 original members were made into a permanent group) and made his individual vocal style known through making the most of his respective part in each Super Junior song. At the same time as when he was added to the Super Junior 05 roster, he began an acting career that caught the eye of many directors and producers, leading to his assignment as the lead role in many works.
Why is he on the list? Like his groupmate Cho Kyuhyun, he has a very unique voice and is used for the bridge into the chorus for most of Super Junior's songs. Lately, though, he has been the lead vocal in most of Super Junior's singles, such as "Sorry, Sorry," and Super Junior M's single, "Me." He also has made it clear that even though he is a talented vocalist, that his real aspiration is acting and that he would like to pursue a full-time acting career in the near future. He already has four idol dramas under his belt and is always looking at scripts for more roles.

(Siwon is the first one that sings. Don't confuse him with the other guy that looks a little bit like him, though -- that's Zhou Mi! To tell them apart, just remember what Siwon's t-shirt and suit look like.)
Lee Hong Gi / South Korea
Claim to fame: He was discovered as an actor and cast in the lead role on "Magic Kid Masuri" in 2002. However, his real talent is singing. He is the lead singer of the rock group F.T. Island (Five Treasure Island).
Why is he on the list? His vocal talents can only be described with one word: PHENOMENAL. Check out the youtube link to see for yourself. He's not precise, but the emotions in the songs he writes shine through more brightly than fake platinum blonde hair in a group of natural brunettes.

I think that's all for now...I'll come back and edit if I find any more that I think you guys would enjoy reading about (well, more like I HOPE).
Thanks for reading if you got this far...I spent a lot of time putting this together, as I do all the threads I make!
