Wow JYP isn't even in the brands list and can't say I'm surprised GD is so high up. The boy has a ton of impact.

Future World Star After PSY
LMAO (and rain on the list?? wtf)

i know sm doesn't let ppl go solo often (more like never) but i think that korea would love solo taeyeon

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

i would love solo taeyeon :( it needs to happen. (along with non-tts subunits)

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

shhhhhhhhh IT COULD HAPPEN

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

i snorted

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think this survey is legitimate. :p If 200 people were asked, did 4 really say L? And if only one person said L, that means only about 50 people answered the survey, which isn't a lot to base results on.

5. Infinite L 2%
LOL WUT.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

People still think Rain is a world star lmao that dedication

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

crayon pop's IMPACT with that 3.5%

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Work it EXO...GD was obviously going to be near the top

[lovejae23.livejournal.com]

i'm surprised that exo is there instead of snsd! i mean i get that exo had monstrous sales but shouldn't snsd still have more influence? also confused about why individuals are listed under the brands list

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

what is the state of kpop in korea if exo is the idol group with the most powerful brand(?) there right now. O_o

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

The domestic idol market is drying up so idol groups with overseas fans are the most powerful.

See also: supernatural-evil themed idol songs (the overseas Kpop market overlaps with the overseas sci fi/fantasy/comics/anime crowd).

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

wow @ EXO.
I really expected SNSD in the top 5.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

No women. Shocker.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

I like how you think! (all though the rest of the list has females)
Please direct all Sones to your comment.

NOT HERE FOR THE MYUNGSOO SHADE

HE COULD GO SOLO IF HE WANTED!!!! Y'ALL DON'T KNOW!!!!!!

but seriously, at least he can play an instrument and could do like an acoustic thing????

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I would be there for an L instrumental track, I would really rather not hear his voice tbh

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]
