gosh, it's really sistar's year. if there was gonna be another girl group there i would've thought it'd be girl's day or aoa but i guess sistar's been building momentum for a while? and always happy about the recognition iu gets! (oopscommentingaboutotherpplonansnsdpost)

IU won tho

snsd lost

keep trying it, sones

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

snsd wouldn't have it any other way :,)

[yoongjay91.livejournal.com]

looking at how disastrous this year has been for snsd... this is kind of amazing(to me at least..)...

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

Props to Sistar because they were gone for over a year between "Give it to Me" and "Touch My Body". The fact that they can disappear and return more loved than ever, they run the game.

And s/o to Girl's Day. Dia5ys for 2015!

But didn't they have a lot of solo/unit work in between?

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

what happened in 2013 LOL

i think it says a lot how much they've dropped percentage wise compared to 2009-2012

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

The percentage isn't that far off from first idt the percentage matters since first is 12 percent too

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I can't adjust to them being only eight members :( Anyway, even with such a shitty year for them, they're second ? Well done.
It was a good year for IU and Sistar !

iu deserves it. and imo her scandal was more potentially career-ending than snsd's but she recovered amazingly

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

yeah with the suju guy. it looked like she would lose her ~nations little sister~ title but she remade her image rly well

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

She did lose it though (thank god, since it let her mature her image).

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

i agree but she still has a sort of innocent image so idk if shes still called that in korea

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Well, IU is first. lol

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure the title says they came in second

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure I said IU is first.

And pretty sure that's more news-worthy than placing second.

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

"Pretty sure I said IU is first." ....hence why I replied in the first place and the point of the article is the bolded stuff at the bottom as told by another commenter in this post, regardless if first place is "worthy" of an article or not

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I Don't care what you think.

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

lmao you do enough to edit your comment a couple of times and reply in a post you supposedly don't care about 👌

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

Can't be first place in a world without Jessica.

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

THIS!

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

the real story here is that IU has made the best comeback in kpop

get it gurl

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

im rly happy that IU and Ailee both lost basically nothing from their dumb ~scandals~

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

I think some people are missing the point of this article - SNSD are the only artist to have been in the top 5 of this list every year AND have been doing so since their debut. Big Bang are the only ones close to that record. Congrats to Sistar and IU's success this year, but I think that SNSD's achievement is definitely worth noting.

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

Yep exactly but people are eternally pressed about snsd lol they need to let it go it ain't good for their health

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

tell me about it, i seriously side eye some of the comments on this comm

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

mte

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Speak that truth.
I'm glad for IU though, girl deserves the recognition.

[9jill9.livejournal.com]

Congrats to IU, SNSD, and all those who made the list. I'm esp happy for IU for this well deserved recognition.
