I've always wondered about those polls. Koreans turn up the nationalism to the max so that whenever there is a poll for something involving Korea they promote it evvvvvvvvverywhere. It's like the "New Seven Wonders" campaign for Jeju Island. Was it just Americans voting in the polls? Or, did gyopo fansites hear the word and pour in their votes for the kpop groups? (Sounds like they did. “We [had] stay-up-all-night-and-vote parties,” claims one fansite from the article).
Honestly, none of my friends back home know who 2NE1 is. The only Kpop star people might know is Rain because of how Stephen Colbert did that bit on him a couple years back.
If its true then this is all news to me. However, I suspect reality is far different from what this poll would have you think.
This. We all know the reality.
