Which artists were most covered worldwide in the ‘K-Pop Cover Dance Festival’?

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

The Visit Korea Committee (chairman Shin Dong Bin) released a star ranking chart based off of which artists participants chose to cover for the ‘Visit Korea’s Yearly K-Pop Cover Dance Festival‘ from April 26th to July 10th. The videos were analyzed and this ranking was done by how many participants from each continent covered a certain artist.

1,350 teams participated from 50 countries from 6 continents and out of these teams, 155 of them covered Girls’ Generation which ranked the girls first, second place was SHINee with 98 covers, miss A in third with 79 covers, SISTAR fourth with 75 covers, and 2NE1 came in fifth with 70 covers.

If you look at the popularity ranking for each continent, it shows that Girls’ Generation and SHINee are the most popular worldwide, but it also shows that all K-Pop groups in general are receiving love from oversea fans. SISTAR, who has not yet started official overseas activities, has been drawing attention for their steady rise in popularity after being appointed as the ambassador for the ‘K-Pop Cover Dance Festival’ on June 25th.

This will be the second ‘K-Pop Cover Dance Festival’ following the first one that was held last year. Through the homepage for the ‘2012 K-Pop Cover Dance Festival‘, the teams who passed the first round of the online preliminaries will be in the second round that will be between the participants in each country. The winning teams of the second round will then be invited to Korea and will be competing in the ‘Cover Dance Final Stage‘, which will be held in September at North Kyungsang Province’s Kyung Joo.

It is planned that SISTAR will be the judges for the second round, for the country that has the most participants.

I feel like people who covered 2ne1 went the lazy route.

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

Or they liked the choreo

[angelynn-virus.livejournal.com]

I see Shinee everywhere and this pleases me greatly

[exo-cath.livejournal.com]

Same ^^

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

lbr 2ne1 and Sistar are easy covers. But good for Sistar i love them lately :)

Miss A is pretty easy too.

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

... in what way is MissA choreo easy!??! Especially if you compare to most of SNSD's choreo?

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

genuinely surprised at no WG

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

WG was 4th in North America

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

Shinee yeah!

[uledy.livejournal.com]

The Americas and Oceana are pretty ambitious with their choices. I mean, SHINee and DBSK have some pretty serious choreography.

And Africa with Block B? Random, but Nanrina does have some fun choreography.

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

South America has great taste

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i'm surprised at the lack of beast.

[sai12.livejournal.com]

I was going to say this too....especially since they were one of the judging bands right? Or was that for one of the other things?

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

So what's the BlockB song(s)/choreo that Africa's into? o.o

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Oh, Nanrina?

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

LOL barely any DBSK, I applaud anyone for going for their choreography.

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

Aw yeah, Block B. Their dances look like so much fun lol
I want to learn sistar's too

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

I'd say that's 2ne1 or f(x). Hoot was embarrassing though.

Omg... Why word "asia" was put on Russia's map? Somebody has troubles with geography?

[alyssamuse.livejournal.com]

lol excuse you, but the point on the map IS at the Asian part of Russia ;)

[my-faux-pas.livejournal.com]

Oceania has flawless but ambitious taste. I applaud thee.

[ginevragirl.livejournal.com]

So are they doing the same thing as last year and having kpop groups go out to other countries and judge the second round? Cause I thought it was hilarious watching the reactions to some of the people's dances.
