    Son Heungmin became the co-winner of the Golden Shoe in the English Premier League Soccer 2021-22, but among the youngsters of K-O-R-E-A, he is still just #3 in popularity.


    A recent poll done by a children's educational course company revealed that the following people were the youngsters (under 14 years old) wanted to befriend.


    5. Doti, a youtube creator, 8%

    4. Dr. Oh Eunyoung, a well known children's behavioral coach. 9%

    3. Son Heungmin. a soccer player. 10%

    2. BTS, world famous boy band, 21%


    and , lo behold,


    1. IU, a singer, actress, real estate speculator and the owner of Edam Entertainment, 26%.


    How can IU be more popular among the under-14 population than the acts which debuted more recently?


    The respondents were not born when Lee JIeun debuted in Sep 18, 2008!


    Her popularity among the younger-than-14 population means she is likely to be in the upper echelon of Korean Pop for at least 10 more years, since she, not acts from 3rd and 4th generations, is gaining fans who will support her in the future! Even though they might move on to some other acts, she will always remain in their minds because she is likely to be release more songs as they grow up.


    But it is amazing the more recently debuted acts, who are younger and are more likely to relate to the newer generations, are not making rounds into the newer generations, making the future of KPop cloudier as the youngters' first choice is the singer who had purchased a $11.7 million house, not other, more internationally famous acts.

  • the news article says children and their parents


    A total of 1,139 elementary and middle school students (elementary school students: 577, middle school students: 562 people) participated in this survey, which was conducted from the 3rd to the 15th, and 322 parents.

    322 parents and 1,139 youngsters. The 322 parents only consist of 22 percent, and quite a lot of them would have voted for the counselor.

  • I think the ODG interview would have boosted IU massively with both parents and kids.


    A massively successful person, appreciated for her good manners. Which parent wouldn't be impressed, they would have gotten their children to see the video and children impressed the same way as the ODG kid.

    Plus the Yumeiro Patissiere cover in tiktok which led the singer to do another cover

    It is a children's comic but by the nature of that it appears to be rerun time to time.

  • It’s IU and BTS. What do you expect. Both are a league of their own.

    Yes. But typically the newer generations tend to favour younger acts, is the expected trend in most contexts.


    In that sense, this is contrary.


    At least BTS in terms of popularity, isn't that old, 5 years or so

    But IU, most the surveyed kids wouldn't have been born when achieved stardom in 2010-11.

  • there are so many reasons im too lazy to say but anyways :akorns:

  • Like I said, a league of their own. IU in her own evergreen multitalented league and BTS in their own record breaking monsters league. No act has ever come close to these two, so we can’t really compare with the norm.
