I thought is was interesting how so few entertainers are on the list...Bae Yong Joon, Rain, and Lee Young Ae are the only ones!!! Aside from Rain...NO Singers are on this list.

[cyberfruit]

No Seo Taiji? Where would a lot of musicians be today if Seo Taiji and Boys hadn't been making music? Am I just missing his name because I can't read Hangul because he's way more influential than Bi.

[hun_wun_gal]

Bi is more influential than JYP? eventhogh he's his manager? so is thif like a poll of the entertainment inside or outside of the circle?

and BYJ is that influstial cool. lol never knew that thanx for sharing!

[rapunzel283]

I remember reading about this somewhere and I'm sure Hyori was on the list somewhere ... *shrugs*
[edit] My bad, that was for the most popular entertainers

So according to this list, KBS is the most powerful 'eyyyyyyy? *nods*

[KuYA II]

No Seo Taiji? Where would a lot of musicians be today if Seo Taiji and Boys hadn't been making music? Am I just missing his name because I can't read Hangul because he's way more influential than Bi.

agreed. I think people forgot who seo taiji and the boys are . This poll is outrageous

[h@teusernames]

^ no it wasn't a poll...entertainment insiders/press people choose the list.
here's the link to the article if you can read Korean http://news.naver.com/news/read.php?mode=L...106&menu_id=106

[hanzo_cloud]

where is H.O.T. ???? im pretty sure they were top man.. every kid used to have hair like H.O.T. back in da days..

[azn_chunsax]

^ have to agree to that one.

remind me again why Bi is more influential than his manager? x.x

althoughhhh you COULD argue that he's more famous x.x

[scribbles*]

no boa?

hmm...i would say she influenced a whole lot of young girls trying to be singers. there were like 39482934793874 BoA#2s.

well, shes always on my list

and i love shin dong yup

[Dah_jOkA]

c'mon no Seo Taji, H.O.T or Solid?

GODDAMN POLL!

[..natz..]

rain is influential..i'm not bashin but how is he influential?
he did win the Time award but that isnt influential right..
that's what i think..dun know bout u guys..
but i do think that Bae Yong Jun deserved his spot..
he did bring the korean drama craze to all over the world..especially Japan..

[suejinners]

go yoon sama! lol go MC YOO!

No BoA? -___- wtheck...

i guess they are basing this on recent things....

[kangtagreen27]

woohoo!!!
LeeSooMan made it to #01!

hmm...i have nothing against the list.
it sounds like its rite.
Bi...sometimes its a question mark...but oh well. done and over with.

[satisfaction!]

Yay for MC Yoo
Wow, I saw Bi's name a lot ... mmm.. o__O

[*rashiDah]

No H.O.T?

That's REALLY surprising. =\

[roes_susita]

may be somebaody who can read hangul can help Us to find an article beside this rating, some rating like that usually explained with the analysis of point-point to numbered

I just remmering some ranked like that at western (US n Euro), n I think this poll as same as

I just think way no much artist (singer n actor) in korea nor at the list, its becose the artist in Korea not independent, mean all they activitties creat by the agent, the bargaining position of the agent company very strong
even BYJ at the rank n He an actor, I Think becose He is the owner of Company n He heve an other compony at Ent_Industries, n in Japan too.. . Am I right?

n the ranked like this so general n large aspect, include the businnes aspect too

for Bi may be the Jury had a reasons once, n I little agree
the point of view is Bi can blow up n explore Him self so hight popular, overseas, n get amazing hug (an american called "phenomenal")
that way the jury get view of Bi's Power

[shinhwaholic]

I'm surprised why DBSK isn't on the list.

[charissejeong]

This is not a poll.

Entertainment specialists were the ones who made the list, not your everyday Joe.

Wow, Bi is being discussed and debated again. No one can ignore my boy!

[slim]

Uh, how is Bi higher than Park Jin Young?

This makes me really question the validity of Bi's "success" considering that he's never had an album in the United States, China, or Japan. If they put him on the list because he's one of the top Hallyu stars, which he is, shouldn't BoA be on the list too?

[empress727]

I'm surprised why DBSK isn't on the list.

ehh...they may have popularity but they sure aren't influential. think more of seotaiji or H.O.T.
