Respondents in an annual survey by a glasses manufacturer have named South Korean actor Bae Yong-joon as the male celebrity that suits glasses the best, while Japanese celebrity Miho Takagi has topped the women's list.

The survey was by Seiko Optical Products Co. over the Internet ahead of Japan's "Glasses Day" on Oct. 1.

It was the first time that Bae, known familiarly in Japan as "Yon-sama," topped the list in the annual survey. Takagai took the top spot in the woman's list for the fourth year in a row.

In the survey, the percentage of people who said they liked glasses fell slightly, but still exceeded the halfway mark, hitting about 55 percent. Reasons people gave for liking glasses included that they could change the look of their face and that they enjoyed matching their glasses with their clothes.

The manufacturer's survey was conducted in July on a total of 1,074 people (Mainichi)
