Oh Korea, it's not even half a year yet.

I was just about to say this. I can't get into Kim Gun Mo, his voice is so weird to me.

It'll be interesting to see the second half, but I would honestly love it if some underdog came outta left field and took Korea by storm.

half of these people haven't even been active in 2009

They concluded this, based on the answers of 1,334 Koreans? That seems like a small number to me lol

LOL this list isn't elite, so I don't agree with it

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

does anyone know when dbsk will come back to korea?

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

things are so boring when dbsk is in japan. ): the bigeast fans are not as hardcore as the cassies in uploading news and whatever shit.

and wtf another poll. they just love polls, don't they. i guess they feel a need to do a poll every 2 weeks or sth.

[j0yjoong.livejournal.com]

if they're talking 2009 then super junior needs to be on the top.
i love my dbsk bb's but they're in japan not korea. >:T
