Because you're just dying to know, Google has released the top advertisements by YouTube views for the 1st half of 2016. Of course I only pay attention to the Korean list.
Apparently the #1 is this ad [KB국민 만능 절세 ISA] 한방에 키워라_김연아 셔플댄스편] by KB Kookmin Bank, featuring Olympic medalist Kim Yuna doing some kind of boxing "shuffle" dance. It got 3,660,725 views between Jan~Jun of 2016. I don't know if this meets the criteria for "sex appeal" unless you somehow can't manage to get your VPN working and this is the raciest thing you can find.
Because I take my blogging work seriously (ha), I watched them all. Here are some that I felt like were worth watching:

- #3 - 대답하라1988 최종화 - 정환이는 왜 무뚝뚝한 성격이 되었을까? - YouTube
This was nearly an entire bonus episode of the great show "Reply 1988" where an overly flirty ajumma tries to stuff her, um, steamed buns, in Jung-hwan's face. I will never forgive that show for having Deokseon end up with Taek (who by the way is in #4) instead of him. And maybe I'm getting a bit older now, but if that ajumma was that flirty with me, let's just say I sure wouldn't be running out of there too quick. - #10 - Mercedes-Benz, 차범근 30년 추억의 복원 프로젝트_Full Ver.
This was a cute, heartstrings-pulling commercial, very well done I thought. It's got good old Chaboom, a true classic of Korean soccer talent. It sort of follows him getting the body of his old Benz jeep up and rejuvenated again after 30 years of retirement. No metaphor there, I'm sure. Chaboom was a legend for being signed to play in Europe way back in the day. His son is pretty big too. - #17 - [감동실험] 넘어진 아이, 사람들은 돌아설까?
One of those "what would you do?" hidden camera type setups. A young kid on crutches is crossing the street and drops his books. Will ordinary people help? This seems some kind of campaign for a group called "Compassion" rather than an actual commercial. I don't care enough to look into who they are. - #19 - [클리오/CLIO] 난 하루 종일 안 말랐어~ 24시간 마르지 않는 클리오 킬커버 안 말랐어 쿠션(통합ver)
You don't need to watch this. Just adding it to the list for blatant sexual innuendo. Don't be a dry girl. Get a wet refreshing burst of moisture right in your face with Clio cosmetics.
I'm going to go ahead and give honorable mention to Taeywon (#16 - 소녀시대 태연 TAEYEON_검과마법 for Kakao_본편 영상 full버전 60s) of Girls Generation because, dang girl, her popularity sure exploded, didn't it? I'm not a fan of this pure snow white angel concept, but I'm apparently in the minority here, because the sort of guys I sometimes grab beers with are suddenly worshiping her. And before you ask, no, they're not that high caliber of guys haha.
