Girls’ Generation Is The Most Influential Celebrity in Korea + Mnet's List of Top 100 Idols

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

The yearly rankings by the Sisa Journal for the people who move Korea has been published, and Girls’ Generation has been ranked as the #1 most influential celebrity for the second year in a row.

Girls’ Generation was in first place with 26.2% of the votes, ahead of the nation’s MC Yoo Jaesuk with 21% and Park Jinyoung with 10.1%. Girls’ Generation widened the gap since last year where they were first with 18.2% compared to Yoo Jaesuk’s 14.2%. The worldwide success of “The Boys”, the Girls’ Generation – TTS subunit, Yoona and Yuri’s drama roles, and each of the nine members helped to promote the name “Girls’ Generation” to gain even more recognition within Korea and abroad as the representative of Hallyu. Girls’ Generation was sixth on the list in 2009 and 2010 before taking the top spot in 2011.

Additionally, Mnet released their list of top 100 idol stars, and all nine Girls’ Generation members were represented within the top eleven spots.

Sad that my beloved Yunho oppa is ranked so low.

But really, is anyone surprised Soshi is on top? :)

[sforza.livejournal.com]

ahh go taec go!! i'm proud :')

[curryza.livejournal.com]

no shim changmin? :/

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

62. TVXQ Changmin :D

[blkjck.livejournal.com]

yasss minzy beating out cl
get that popularity bitch

i'm happy luna made the list but all they talked about was her thighs =/

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

omg get it jyp oppar!

damn my bb suzy is super high! but ngl i'm surprised by how low queen uee is.

and dang get is jia! i thought min would make it! does it mean that now jia is officially the second most popular miss a member in korea?

also op why did you bold some ppl?

and man i wish someone would translate the article about yoona, suzy and uee being the biggest female earners in kpop.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

lol nooooo idea why they are bolded, i copied and pasted directly from the source ._.

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

QUEENS <3 I hope they also rank 1st for the third year in a row in Forbes Korea power celebrity.

I'm also glad to see all the members ranking really high!

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

wow! the mnet idol list is whack!

t-ara boram before hyomin? (sj) kibum before 51 other people? kangin at 16? most of super junior before hyunah? poor seungri so far from this groupmates in the ranking.

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

how the hell is g-dragon so low? ._.

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

his stans are no longer preteens staging poll parties on twitter

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

Wow Wook is so high up! You go baby!

[jjoeyjjang.livejournal.com]

why is hyoyeon last of all the girls

not pleased.

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

is that seriously a shock to you

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

the ranking is based on a poll which means it's not reliable in the least bc batshit stans can stage a coup. i want to see a raking based on CFs/general public awareness/acting gigs/solo projects etc etc, ie actual exposure.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

The other examples you listed are fairly easy to determine but how would you evaluate public awareness? If you go around asking people, how many to you have to ask before it is deemed 'reasonable'?

btw Gallup is about the most legit you can get ._.

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

lol, I love SNSD, but I can't take these results seriously...

[kingalexarnold.livejournal.com]

damn seungri and CL are lower than the rest of their group lol

[rosetta16.livejournal.com]

Changmin is higher than Yunho?? as a min bias, that doesnt make sense LOL
TVXQ is doing pretty good seen they ranked higher than other artist that are more active in Korea

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I'm really surprised Min isn't on this list :| how do they calculate this list anyway?

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

"Mnet’s poll took into account online voting from fans for 30% of the final score and the results from the internationally respected polling company Gallup, which accounted for the remaining 70% of the score."

._. i bolded it too... :'(

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Does influential = popularity or something because I'm not entirely sure how they determine the ranking for this list o__O *scratches head*

[u-niverse.livejournal.com]

Kangin and Shindong over GD.

Oh I see.

[sandritablue.livejournal.com]

LOL this is just nor right...

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

yeaaaa no. cant take this srsly with leeteuk, shindong & ///kangin// over GD and TOP lol thats just not possible so ELFs must have gone crazy. and for snsd i get the influential celeb thing but on the top 100 even the not so relevant members are too high up, same for other kpop nugus. its been a while since we had ridic polls here in omona

whats with the random bolding too? is this OP's biases or

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

like i said in my other comment: lol nooooo idea why they are bolded, i copied and pasted directly from the source ._.
and if i was bolding biases, it'll only be girls.

i'm gonna go unbold them now since you're the second person who's asked lol

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

MY BBS TOP AT 14 & TAEMIN AT 70??? ORZ

[bflayhd.livejournal.com]

i think what is surprising is that there are two sistar members in the top 25(hyorin at 15 and bora at 24)

[madelyn93.livejournal.com]

why is kangin at 16? what did he do in the past two years D:
i mean, leeteuk maybe, if you have to.
ryeowook at 27 and siwon at 34 lololololol

[soramai.livejournal.com]

So, what I get is:

Yoona is the most popular member of snsd
Leeteuk is the most popular of suju
Sohee the most popular of WG
TOP the most popular of BigBang
Suzy the most popular of Miss A
Kikwang the most popular of B2ST
taecyeon the most popular of 2PM
dara the most popular of 2NE1
Hyuna the most popular of 4Minute
L the most popular of INFINITE
Minho the most popular of SHINee
krystal the most popular of f(x) ...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_clochette_/]

most of these seem like foregone conclusions to me but I was surprised that top beat out gd

[amy.livejournal.com]

from what i heard a lot of fandoms actually didn't know that the mnet poll was going on. a lot of the top people (snsd and big bang specifically) on the 100 list didn't have very high points in the online poll category, they were carried primarily by that 70% from gallup and a handful of online votes. if their fandoms had realized it was happening i think this list might have looked a bit different.

[erisinia.livejournal.com]

I'm really happy that Kangin and Ryeowook ranked well! Kangin just came back and Ryeowook has been out of the spotlight for so long ;_; get it boys

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

omg ur dp ;_; I love this song but the MV kinda creeps me out, lol.
