I see nothing in the article that linked "homoest homos that ever homoed" to your reasoning for why they're that low. It's an apt description of what they do and if anything, that may actually have helped them rank higher here because they made everyone think Korean men are gay. If you're a fan, I guess you really do misread everything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171715457471097437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-9682145764253968572014-03-26T14:58:59.692-04:002014-03-26T14:58:59.692-04:00wtf... your article is insulting rather than stati...wtf... your article is insulting rather than stating opinion ... <br />"DBSK is the homoest homos who ever homoed.

Seriously. They STILL have largest fan-club and still insanely popular in Japan. (BigEast's royalty amazes me.) And a lot of new Kpopers say their bias is another group, but they do respect H.O.T, Shinhwa, TVXQ and etc...<br /><br />And about that gay thing, I don't want to be rude but many people said KPOP guys are soooo gay to me. So, TVXQ doesn't make whole kpop any more or less gay-er than now. (that's other people's opinion though) And I agree with other people. Why would being homosexual matters in ranking groups?Yunomunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351617837957799820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-1055917640383577892013-02-21T12:10:07.803-05:002013-02-21T12:10:07.803-05:00EXACTLY.^^EXACTLY.^^Yunomunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351617837957799820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-81030366773524294712012-12-09T21:30:06.414-05:002012-12-09T21:30:06.414-05:00Apology not accepted.

It is the same as saying that "acting gay" devalues your accomplishments. If anything, "acting gay" or having "gay vibes" increases the influence of groups like this. Gay Korean teenagers need role models and women and girls (half the population) eat it up. <br /><br />Sorry my first comment here is so harsh, by the way. I'm a fan of your blog, and of this series in particular. But c'mon, man.

BoA, before DBSK, went international (well, really just breaking Japan).<br /><br />Anyone else have other similar-level idols that could've competed for this similar spot on the criteria of going international?<br /><br />And for those espousing the singing capacity of the quartet/trio, technical singing ability *is* impressive, but there are plenty of great technical singers who are not influential or great artists. Lee Sora, mentioned earlier on this list, isn't just a great technical singer, she's a great interpreter of music, like Joe Cocker, imbuing the music with a quality of her own.<br /><br />That said, for fangirls (and even fanboys) of DBSK/TVXQ/JYJ, I definitely believe that there are idols of noticeably greater influence than these guys. Even if I don't have a strong appreciation for this kind of music, I'm certain TK will place them higher on the list.refresh_daemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04484357767562950745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-56077316379647701292011-03-02T03:52:57.248-05:002011-03-02T03:52:57.248-05:00Of all the songs to pick as a DBSK single to showc...Of all the songs to pick as a DBSK single to showcase lol.
