Korean website 100Beat is receiving a lot of attention for their recent article on the “5 Best and Worst Idols over the past 10 years”, and we’re bringing it straight to you.
The hottest topic of the Korean music industry over the past few years has been none other than the ‘idol fever’ sweeping the market. With previous years being taken over by boy bands, the past 10 years of the music market have been dominated by both group and soloist idols.
Which idols are the best? Which idols are the worst? With the emergence of H.O.T as the initial marking point of the trend, five individual teams were chosen to compile entries for both the best and the worst categories.
Those that participated in the survey include 20 professional critics, such as music magazine editor-in-chiefs, journalists, and broadcast writers. All of them participated in a discussion meeting with ‘100 BEAT‘ in order to come up with the following list.
”BEST 5″
1. BoA
2. SNSD
3. Big Bang
4. S.E.S
5. TVXQ / DBSK
Big Bang was able to garner attention as well, considering they’re a fresh group and unlike any other idol before them; consequently they’ve gathered a strong fanbase (VIP’s). If SNSD possess the ‘uncle fans,’ Big Bang has the ‘older sister fans.’
One such older sister, Lee Hoyoung, commented, “Their strength lies in the fact that each individual member came together to make a harmonious team, despite having their own talents and interests. Not only that, but they are also strong on their own as well.”
“WORST 5″
1. CNBlue
2. ZE:A
3. Super Junior
4. H.O.T
5. Rain

Plastic Line Surgery Director Face Lee Jung Woo said “ “SNSD” member Yuri’s white skin, big eyes, soft chin matched with her nose harmoniously. Even though it seems like her nose is sharp, it creates an overall soft impression.”
In addition, about 2nd place Ga-in and 3rd place Sulli, “Ga-in’s sharp nose and V-line chin harmony creates an alluring charm to others. Sulli’s clear skin and natural nose give her an innocent image and is reminiscent of Jeon Ji Hyun.”

BoA: Ever since I heard about it, I’ve been really excited. It’s the first time we are able to perform together at a place like this, so it makes me all the more happy.
Kangta: When I was performing with my group H.O.T we weren’t given this chance, so I’m happy I get to stand on this wonderful stage with my juniors. I’m nervous and worried, but more than that I’m looking forward to it and am happy I can perform her.
—The fact most in the audience are not Korean-American’s, it seems this has a big significance.

Leeteuk: I feel very happy and honored. Since there are fans all over the world cheering for us, from now on I feel like I need to do my best even more.

Changmin: I honestly wasn’t expecting it.I could even see the crowd of people who came to see us from a distance. Our languages are different. Since they don’t really have a chance to get to know us, I was really surprised, but I was also grateful that they came to welcome us.
Onew: I was concerned and thought to myself, “I wonder what it will be like when we arrive in America”, but (when we arrived) I was happy that so many fans came to see us. I hope they continue cheering for us after this too.
—SNSD has just completed a successful debut in Japan, but do you plan on advancing to America?
