JYJ Overwhelmingly Picked as the Best Idol of Korea

[fayoochun.livejournal.com]

Who, indeed, is the best idol of the Republic of Korea chosen by the netizens?
 
MstarTV, the audition website for new entertainers and entertainer-hopeful (www.mstartv) “conducted an unusual survey with the theme of “(who is) the best idol singer of the Republic of Korea?” from March 10th through March 20th,” and revealed that “JYJ won the survey with an overwhelming number as the best idol (group) of the Republic of Korea.”
 
In the survey, a total of ten teams of idol singers – Big Bang, TVXQ, JYJ, Shinee, 2PM, 2AM, B2ST, MBLAQ, Infinite, Teen Top – were selected as candidates and furiously competed.

A total of 3642 netizens participated in the survey. The votes were counted as follows in this order: JYJ, 1612; 2PM, 1459; TVXQ, 350; Big Bang, 80; Infinite, 57; Teen Top, 44; Shinee, 10, B2ST, 9; MBLAQ, 9; 2AM, 6.

In this vote which attracted much attention from the netizens as the battle of the popular idol singers who represent the (Korean) music industry, JYJ ascended into the throne to claim king of kings as the best idol of the Republic of Korea.

On the other hand, MstarTV which conducted this survey is also the agency of the new singer IAi (real name Zhang Zi Woong), produced by the famous songwriter Brave Brothers.

[askbask.livejournal.com]

3600 people is more than enough to be representative, but that's if they conducted an actual random survey.

[blackstarnebula.livejournal.com]

true that. But it has to be random n without bias

[candied-pear.livejournal.com]

I feel like this was, "Which fan communities knew about the survey" rather than which ones they preferred. What a tiny sample for an internet survey about boybands.

[umai-jae-ai.livejournal.com]

OMG Your icon brings back memories from my last 2 semesters haha

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

Cool 2AM got 6?


I love the letter 6

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

I mean number

[junhobrand.livejournal.com]

it was only 3642 votes.....im happy for JYJ...but all it shows is that their fans were more willing to actually take the time and vote...either way congrats

[inudela.livejournal.com]

omg l o l what is this

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

LOL 2PM as second immediately made this poll irrelevant.

[miszmba.livejournal.com]

W/e /butthurt

[jhj2001.livejournal.com]

yes this should be enough for JYJ stans to convince themselves that their oppas are the best idol in Korea

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

[clayray3290.livejournal.com]

Lulz. Lulz lulz and lulz.

[miszmba.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna say yay for 2pm for my fangirl heart.

Infinite..they'll gain more fans with their come beck. I mean, they lured me right into their fandom now :)

[fayoochun.livejournal.com]

in my opinion... i wonder why they still consider JYJ as an "idol", they are more like an ARTISTS now. ^___^

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

what makes them artists now?

[tofucakes.livejournal.com]

lol everything I have learned in stats class this year tells me that this is an excellent gauge of relevance

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

[aozora7.livejournal.com]

Infinite won over Shinee, B2ST, MBLAQ, and 2AM??? (O_O)?
if this means their popularity is rising like a rocket then i'm happy for them (^.^)
