Mnet Media recently conducted a research on the recognition of idol groups in Korea for the month of June. So, what are they recognized for and which groups scored highest among them all? Continue reading to find out.
1000 men and women were asked to rank currently active singers and groups in the following categories: vocal ability, appearance, friendliness, trend, stage presence and variety. In most of these categories, Korean adults recognize idol singers/groups as the favorable top contenders.
Female idols such as SNSD, KARA and After School swept the top spots for Appearance, while male celebrities like Lee Seung Gi, MC Mong and Super Junior reigned in the Variety category. Interestingly, out of all the idol groups, adults chose SNSD as the most recognized idols in most of these categories.

Unfortunately, no idols seemed to be recognized for vocal ability. Which is understandable, since idols are more veered towards entertaining than focusing on talent.

Some of these shouldn’t have even made it to the top 10, imo.
LOL. oh man. 2NE1’s been on a hiatus for about a year now, and they STILL are surveyed as #3 for trend. what up!
looks like korean adults know what’s what when it comes to vocals.
You’re right.. they are really good and I’m sure that when they come back they’ll be everywhere
07/17/10 12:36 am

aww I do think Lee Seung Gi is the most friendly!! ^^
Suju should have been listed there a lot O__O
Yeah. I think SuJu should have been listed there a lot. O_O And I want them to be higher on the variety list..
Anyway. It’s an adult survey anyway. Hehe.

Super Junior had definitely topped my top 5 in Variety and Appearance, other than that I think I can kind of agree with this list.
Maybe SNSD had may been down-topped a little bit imo, they are at so many tops.^^
