More than 33,000 Japanese people participated in the vote, making it a reliable reference for determining idol group Kpop https://bit.ly/2SigWBO popularity in the rising sun. As expected, most of the top 10 faces are extremely familiar with the audience and have a significant influence on the Japanese market. However, the rankings and the number of votes that some groups receive may make many people surprised.

Not surprisingly, TVXQ / Tohoshinki easily won first place with more than 11,000 votes, accounting for one-third of the total votes of all artists in the top 10. The influence of the Tohoshinki name at Japan is nothing to discuss, and this survey once again proves that they are still invincible "walls" when it comes to the Hallyu wave in Japan.

JYJ - three pieces of TVXQ every day, followed closely behind their former teammates at No. 2 with more than 9,000 votes. Although it is no longer a famous name in Korea, it seems that the attraction of JYJ in Japan has not decreased. Besides, the appearance of TVXQ and JYJ in the first two positions makes many people wonder how big their power will be if they continue to work with the 5-member lineup.

The artists from SM Entertainment clearly have a strong attraction in Japan, and the 3rd place for SHINee once again proved it. Compared to the first two rankings, SHINee's votes are much less. But that also does not overshadow the fact that SHINee is still one of the most successful idol group Kpop in Japan ever.

Along with the three faces above, this chart shows the overwhelming popularity of the second generation group compared to the latter. Only 4 representatives of 3rd generation idol groups entered the chart, including TWICE, BTS, EXO, and G-Friend, but their rankings were quite modest compared to their seniors. TWICE was the only 3rd generation idolgroup who reached the top 5, while BTS, EXO, and G-Friend kept the last 3 positions in the top 10. In addition, there was another unexpected fact that the total votes of all The 4 new generation representatives are only about ... 1/3 of the group's votes are led by TVXQ https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/kpopshowbiz.

Besides, this ranking also brings many other surprises when some people think that Big Bang or 2PM rankings seem quite low compared to their actual coverage in Japan. The appearance of the name Supernova in 4th place, just behind TVXQ, JYJ, and SHINee, is also a shocking thing for many people because this is not a big name in Korea. In addition, the absence of a series of popular young bands in recent times such as Black Pink or Red Velvet also makes people ask big questions.
