Koreans sure love their polls, and after the kinky one before, here’s one that’s a little more generic. TvN Gil’s Newton Chart held a recent poll asking to rank the top male and female idol groups in Kpop. Did you favorite come out on top? Check out the results below.
The poll was held from July 26 to August 1, with 50% of the votes accumulating from a selection committee, 30% from online votes and 20% from mobile votes. Out of 20 groups for each gender, here are how they ranked.
Top 8 Male idol groups:
DBSK (12199)
Big Bang (12176)
H.O.T. (6654)
2PM (6654)
Super Junior (4322)
SS501 (4292)
MBLAQ (4265)
god (4128)
Top 8 Female idol groups:
SNSD (8828)
Fin.K.L (6447)
2NE1 (5748)
Wonder Girls (5073)
S.E.S (3553)
KARA (2338)
Brown Eyed Girls (1768)
Jewelry (1666)
It comes to no surprise that DBSK and SNSD landed at the top. I thought the Wonder Girls would reign supreme, but I guess their lengthy departure from the motherland has everyone placing them in the back of their minds. For a group that hasn’t really done much, Big Bang sure ranked pretty high.
We should totally hold a poll of our own — Who would you rank as top idol group?
