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

AND THE WINNER IS....


SHINee's own resident diva ---
KEY!

I've been following SHINee for nearly a year, and I've seen a lot of their TV appearances on YouTube (my favorite being their short-lived reality stint "Hello Baby!", where they had to become parents to a toddler). Key has always been the life of the party, and his sense of humor borders between insane and utterly outrageous. The striking (and, I guess, irresistable) quality of his personality lies in the fact that he's very transparent --- he speak his mind out, and is very vocal about his opinions (even to the point that it may seem a little unreasonable... but he always gets his way by sneaking in a smile or two). 

I'm pretty sure Key is slowly raking up more fans from all over, especially in the UK and in Japan, where SHINee has been very active in promoting their re-released singles. I'm looking forward to SHINee's return to Korea, and their comeback (which is apparently slated for the 3rd quarter of the year).

And now... off to our new poll!

[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!!!

[POLL RESULT] Who won our most anticipated comeback poll?

AND THE WINNER IS... 2NE1

Yes, the girls of 2NE1 topped our poll for the past two weeks! Their return single, "Lonely", had been highly anticipated for weeks, and had been a quick hit as soon as it hit digital stores last week (the single apparently achieved an "all-kill" in all music charts in Korea).

Thanks to all the people who voted in the last poll! It was a neck-and-neck contest between 2NE1, 2PM and SNSD... it was good that a final vote came in hours before that broke the tie.

Post a comment... whose comebacks are you looking forward to?

But of course, it's time for another exciting poll from The Pinoy Kpop Fan!!!

And here it goes...

Who was your favorite feature for the month of April? (...and our new poll too!)

2AM --- Jo Kwon, Seulong, Jinwoon and Changmin

And our winner is.... 2AM!

These guys have been very busy with their Asian tour, and with their recent promotional tour for "Saint O'Clock" here in Manila, it's not surprising that most of the folks who voted for 2AM were from the Philippines (45% of my blog's hits and pageviews for the month come from my home country... thanks for the support, mga kababayan!).
