[POLL RESULT] Who's your favorite male idol rookie group?

AND THE WINNER IS...

BOYFRIEND

The quintet of Boyfriend, composed of Hyun Seong, Kwang Min, Dong Hyun, Jeong Min, Minwoo and Young Min, have been burning the midnight oil in promoting their self-titled album. All that presence and star power is translating into the kind of popularity that produces swarms of online groupies (as evidence to support my hypothesis, in my blog, they are the most searched group in my list of featured artists, and my review on their debut album is my most popular blog post ever since I've started this blog... beat that!).

Although these guys still have a long way to go musically. They're still stuck in newbie mode, so a lot of the material that they're doing is focused on dance and kpop cheese tracks... it's stuff that sells and builds a fan base, but it's not the kind of stuff that makes a defining moment in their career just yet. They're a young male idol group, and they've got a lot of growing up to do. Time will tell when they're really to shine as artists. 

Now... off to our new poll!

[POLL RESULT] Who's your favorite male idol group rapper?

AND THE WINNER IS... JUN HYUNG OF BEAST!!!

The race was actually a neck-and-neck battle between Jun Hyung and TOP of Big Bang... at first I didn't really know who was going to win, but I guess the extra exposure from the recent release of Beast's "Fiction and Fact" swung the tides over to Jun Hyung's favor. 

Yong Jun Hyung is an immensely popular member of the male idol group BEAST. He's pretty much in demand, that he's done lots of collaborations with other artists besides his work with Cube Entertainment (like Wheesung, etc.). Hopefully we can see this rapper boy in action with his own solo album, but I guess only time will tell.

Tell us what you feel about the result? Do you like Jun Hyung, or would you have chosen another person from our list of male rappers? Comment away! 

Now... ON TO OUR NEXT POLL!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen --- get ready to swoon over "Boyfriend"...

The boys of Boyfriend --- (L to R): Hyun Seong, Min Woo,
Kwang Min, Young Min, Dong Hyun, Jeong Min

I'm always game to review new acts when they come out. One new male idol group that has recently caught a lot of attention from a lot of people is the rookie group Boyfriend. These guys are being produced by Starship Entertainment, the same agency that backs up Sistar and K.Will --- which means they have a lot of starpower to back them up.

The 6-member male idol group, consisting of members Min Woo, Kwang Min, Young Min, Jeong Min, Dong Hyun and Hyun Seong, just recently released their debut mini-album and MV for their single "Boyfriend" last May 26. They've started promotions early for prior to the release of their album both through print and TV (they're debut is even being covered in a reality TV show!). With all the exposure, it's not surprising they've become instant stars practically overnight!
