What do you guys think? Personally I think TVXQ should rank higher lol; the reasons stated for "worst" idols aren't totally ungrounded actually, as in they made sense, so I could understand why lol

they got BoA right. i was surprised at SNSD's position being that high..i'd expect critics to tear them apart. i'm happy for them though~ also i don't think super junior should be on the worst list.

holy crap at the comments section on that site. brb to make some popcorn and read all of them and choke while laughing so hard.

i agree with most of this list, though i don't understand why cn blue is number one on the worst list. the article basically says they're the worst for being accused of plagiarizing when a lot of k-pop has been plagiarized. so why chose them of all groups? because they're a fake band? idgi.

Well on either list I only like BoA. She has nice songs. So I think its good she's at top cuz she owns all by herself. What a doll. :D

yeah... I don't get the plagiarizing part.. they've plagiarized songs? And they were kinda unhappy/pissed about rock bands "passing off" as idol groups as well.... lol well that was the only thing I disagreed about

*reading comments* LOL @ the hating on BoA and SNSD, fangirls I swear.

And even though idgaf about DBSK I'm surprised they weren't higher and also didn't expect the Wonder Girls to be missing from that list but oh well. Go SNSD! XD

they've been accused of plagiarism, but tbh accusations like that are sadly common in kpop so it makes no sense to choose them for that reason alone. the person who wrote the article just sounds bitter about an idol group pretending to be a band.

I agree with the WORST list excluding 1 & 5, they are good.

I strongly disagree with the TOP list. BoA is a good artist, but she is not number 1.

Idk, they said professional reviewers made this list but it seems more like an SM stan.

ps this comment on allkpop made me laugh.

^LOL. XD

This made me roll:

:roflmao

And truest comment of the night:

they didn't seem to like F.T Island cos they were a rock band passing off to be an idol group too... lol oh well~

and oh the comments xD Most of them are meant to be ignored :yes the stans there are ridiculously trollish lol

i love how people on akp are saying the professional critics aren't really professionals because they didn't put their favorite group near the top :laugh
i was loling for a good while at the comments but then some just got scary and creepy D:

srsly i'm so scared omg

lul @ this gem:

At least this person knows her bias, unlike the other blissfully unaware morons commenting. Seriously the #1 complaint is 'the critics are biased' and then they include their own obviously biased list. XD

um what a dumb list. kthxbai.

why is it that 90% of k-pop stans are mentally challenged it seems. at least on the internet :laugh

^LOL ikr?

Best comment of the night:

:roflmao

who's that cutie at your ava?

and lol K-Pop stans scare me some times... what irony to call the critics biased yet their own preferred lists aren't... that fair anyway :laugh

only S.E.S. belong in the best idols

I don't get the hype in SNSD

it's not my av but it's MC Mong.

(mostly) cute girls who (some of them anyway) have good singing voices. It's marketing, just like most idol groups have.

They are popular in Japan too, though, so it's kind of undeniable that they're likeable.

Allkpop's comment section is a cesspool, but it brings so much lulz :laugh

oh isn't he the one who skipped his military service..? *googles* omg okay he's.. not that.. cutie anymore~ :laugh

anyway I'm pretty sure each of us has an "best idol" list to us... obviously it's gonna differ from the "professional critics" or those retarded stans commenting on the site... we should look at such things with a wide heart lol, I never believe any of these anyway, what I think is best - is best. :D

Personally I don't understand the need for professional critic for music since everyone has different preference and favorites, it can never be unbiased the only thing that set them apart is they get paid while we don't.

"Professional Critics"? Seriously? 0_o..........:laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh......


At least they made the right choice for #1......did something right

LMAO THOSE COMMENTS OMG :roflmao



but im seriously wtfing at HOT in the worst list! and also dbsk #5???? um okay

alrighty, I just hate Super Junior's current image now... T_T

so trashy and cheap... :yes

why they should make a list of worst Idol. that kills their images

lol @ everyone who thinks Super Junior doesn't deserve to be on the worst idol list.

I agree with what they said about Suju; Suju just don't have talent to match their popularity. :yes I mean, there's only a few people in Suju who actually have any real singing talent (Yesung, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun) while most of them just have... passable, listenable voices but can't actually sing. That's like, 3 or 4 people out of 13 (or now 11 or whatever since they're so scandalous).

Not trying to hate on Suju but they're so incredibly overrated and they're really not THAT talented to make up for it.

But seriously, why do you guys care so much about who was on what list? It's just a list made by people who think they're all-that and know everything about music. :rolleyes

I think most of us are laughing at them, not taking them seriously :laugh

It's the dumb people on allkpop who are freaking out.

#5 for DBSK is high enough for them, I never got their appeal...

so, i didnt read the article lol but I wonder why SNSD is ranked on the best list and Super junior is on the Worst list lol they are like boy and girl versions of eachother (to me anyway :P) kind of like Big Bang and 2ne1, which yay for my Bias Big Bang!! ^_^ Fans can be so scary!! :nervous

^Never thought of that. I always considered SNSD to be like Korea's answer to Momosu since around the time of their formation Momosu had exactly 9 members. xD

Are those twats at AllKpop still going at it? lol You'd think it was a list sent straight from the Gods themselves rather than a random group of critics.

^ lol that could be too ^_^ i was just saying that to me they were like the girl version :P momosu is morning musume right? i guess snsd is like them, except they dont get kicked out for aging :laugh

yet...

^ true o.o lol

:roflmao

I've said it before, but just wait a few more years and SNSD will be having their first "graduation". And the cycle will begin. :laugh

Btw, has anyone checked out the comments section on the JYJ drama? Fangirl meltdowns are effing hilarious I swear.

Wait what happened with JYJ... Coming from school I'm out of the loop.

^ their company is accused of blackmail and other things so their activities are on hold (if im not mistaken, i dont follow them so i just heard this through the grapevine)

i can imagine :rolleyes lol

Yeaaah this is why I feel like I can't have actual conversations about K-pop without death. :laugh

agree with you on HOT that group is such a huge influence on many of the boybands right now!!
