right? how can people forget BTD?

[quriousity.livejournal.com]

IKR, considering the number of releases they've had this year I would have thought that they'll at least make it for the favorite song category

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I came here to say that.

[hellafun.livejournal.com]

[wintersol.livejournal.com]

hard to believe over 50 groups/artists debuted this year but the number of relevant ones is 10 at most.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Payback for ending the flawlessness that was Xander-Eli-Kevin.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

it sucks being one of the few ppl with taste tbh.

wheres oc and after school u tasteless people????

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

off the list like they should be.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

praying for u. U know the end of the world is coming right? Kyuhyun oppa won't save u, bye.

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

if stanning after school means being saved then i'd rather die with all the other sensible people.
also, kyuhyun is not your oppa, you've never met him so you can't speak informally to me.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

i'll still pray 4 u bc im nice and lovely <3

and i've met kyuhyun actually and hes my oppa so i get 2 talk however i want tyvm!

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

don't pray for me, it's rude and you are not nice at all.
and please don't delude yourself and don't lie, what would after school say if they caught you lying? it's shameful.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

Can't believe the year is almost ending.
I like Rania for the rookie category even though they're not listed.

[hibohabu.livejournal.com]

I'm happy TVXQ have been nominated, but this feels quite incomprehensive for a survey that's supposed to wrap up 2011 in South Korean entertainment.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

According to foreign fans which might explain why they're in.
They're pretty big outside Korea.

[regnsky.livejournal.com]

I was going to be a good fangirl for once and vote LeeSsang for everything and then they tell me I have to have an account? Oh noes :/

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

The fact that they only have JYJ for "K-Pop artist you would like to visit your country" is ridiculous and is honestly quite telling of how legit this poll will be.

[xiahjunsubias.livejournal.com]

IASFM!

[miki-831.livejournal.com]

well I can't really say those results represent me

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

12. Group that wins at life whether or not they're in a poorly made poll?

1. JYJ
2. JYJ, of course
3. Are you kidding? duh...it's JYJ
4. I could say someone else, but I'd be missing out on the epic JYJ
