Actress Goo Hye Sun, 25, popular in Taiwan as a "hallyu," or Korean wave, star, has been picked as the best Asian actress by Yahoo! Taiwan, Koo's agency, YG Entertainment said Wednesday.

Koo, who rose to stardom with her starring role in the KBS-TV drama ``Boys Over Flowers,'' claimed the top place in the "Asia Female Artist" category of the "Yahoo! Asia Buzz Awards 2009."

She was one of the most "searched" stars by netizens in Taiwan, according to the agency.
