Girls’ Generation Voted Most Popular Female Singer for First Half of 2012

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

Lee’s PR, a research company, revealed on April 18th that Girls’ Generation was the most popular female singer in the first half of 2012. 1,329 people voted in the poll, awarding Girls’ Generation 26.9% of the vote. Girls’ Generation beat IU, Wonder Girls, Baek Jiyoung, Lee Hyori and Miss A to the top female singer spot. Other than a slight slip in late 2011 where they fell down to number two, Girls’ Generation have held the number one spot in the “Female Singer” part of the poll since 2009.

The poll results come as Girls’ Generation’s popularity is soaring both in South Korea and worldwide. Their 2nd Asia Tour received international love, but their popularity is not just limited to Asia. The girls travelled to New York to film for “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Live with Kelly”, and also held a fansign event during their visit. The girls then attended “Music Bank in Paris”, further extending their popularity into Europe. Although Girls’ Generation did not promote much in Korea in the first half of 2012, their global activities have made their fanbase even larger, truly making them deserving of the title of “Most Popular Female Singer” of the first half of 2012.

Just throwing it out there, but what has Hyori done in the first half of 2012 to even be on the list?

[bebita19.livejournal.com]

She's Hyori. 'Nuff said.

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

breathe

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

I would assume her work with animals, becoming a vegetarian, and her new show on SBS called You&I which she co-hosts. She also has a reality show on Onstyle right now.

[spread.livejournal.com]

Nothing..

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

She's been alot more active this year than her previous years, not to mention her new show.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

Can anyone tell me how I can make this: http://soshified.com/2012/04/girls-generation-voted-most-popular-female-singer-for-first-half-of-2012 into just SSF/Soshified like it is with the Naver one? It looks so ugly now :/

[bebita19.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to enter the forums?

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

...no? I meant like how I can shorten it to just SSF so you guys can just click it instead of showing the ENTIRE link. I want to make it look like the Naver one.

[icierrrrrblue.livejournal.com]

ugh wait

Type SSF/Soshified, highlight it, and use the hyperlink button

i.e.
Soshified (http://soshified.com/2012/04/girls-generation-voted-most-popular-female-singer-for-first-half-of-2012)


manually

soshi, wg<333

[pepper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! <3
But... is there a way to know who ranked after these groups/actors (places 6-10)?

[deeinanutshell.livejournal.com]

Big Bang and Han Ga In! Awesome ^^

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

get it seung gi oppa - singer and actor list

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Won Bin and Kim Taehee can seriously not have acting projects for years and will still top these lists. :)

[bumie.livejournal.com]

I like this list tbh

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Why is Kim Tae Hee so popular as an actress? Same goes for Han Ga In. Shin Min Ah is the greatest.

[dongwook.livejournal.com]

I disagree with Hyori and baek jiyoung being placed below IU and WG tbh. But I'm just a biased whore.

FLAWLESS SNSD SLAYING' EVERYTHING

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

What does this poll even tell us besides the obvious?

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I like Lena Park but really want to know what she did in second half of 2011 to get the #1 position. :3

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

Fuck yes!! they make me a proud fan every damn day, flawless Queens of Kpop.

[ixion124.livejournal.com]

i feel a little sad for the groups that have been promoting this year, just a little

but yeee hyori!

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

get it girls

[stesabsea.livejournal.com]

The first half of the year isn't even over. Unless they are going by a different calendar. And, tbh, it's not just Soshi on the list that has a lack of activities. Lena Park must have done something super great to eclipse the ever popular idols. Good job.

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

Probably with her participation in "i am singer", she and kim bum soo were the star of the show and gain a lot recognition and popularity with general public.

[my-car-is-prada.livejournal.com]

Of course! <333 Who else would be? Like.....
& They might as well just assume it's for the whole 2012, lbr.

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

SNSD slayin' your girl group favs, etc, what else is new

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

Hyori and Girl's Generation: Proving you don't have to actually do much for your fandom to vote you to the top anyways

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

Same goes for any other group with a bigger fandom. Only that Big Bang here actually did promotions.

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

this is true. I was honestly expecting to see super junior for this reason.

[flu-n-c.livejournal.com]

The poll was conducted in Korea , we all know how their popularity fares there anyway

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

SNSD and WG, basically doing nothing, still snagging wigs. Oh the fortune of devoted fandoms.

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

psh OVBVIOUSLY

SoNyeoGoddesses

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Lol Korean polls.
