Gallup Result -BTS almost lost to IU because men in 20s and 30s voted for her

I wondered how you’d spin this.

Jokes aside, it is likely that IU will top the gallup poll next year since BTS are on a hiatus(as a group) and she’ll probably release music next year.

Your "would have, should have, could have" won't change the fact that BTS won this poll amongst 4 out of 6 demographics stupid....

Quote from WhyKnock

Without overwhelming support from teenage girls, BTS would have lost to IU in 2022, despite of the inconvenient fact that IU did NOT release any song this year.

If she just released one single before her concert, she would have beaten BTS.

And BTS released less singles or songs than IU in 2019 & 2021 but still won....

I know your ass was waiting for this poll to push your stupid narratives because you thought BTS won't win this year but time and again your foolish narratives always fall hard..... I know you won't stop this because this is what keeps your fave relevant on this forum so there's no point talking sense with you.....

You kpop stans will cry again when BTS will win this poll next year too....

Cutting all bs, here is the stats for 10s-30s

BTS - 29,4% Iu - 26.6%

19-29 - 24% 31%

30-39 - 18% 28%

2023 will be interesting. IVE, NewJeans and aespa will divide the teen votes, while Lee Jieun, who is likely to release a single earlier next year even if she gets to act in the rumored drama, will solidly maintain the 30s votes, so it is likely that , after all these years of KPop, the forces of reactionarism will triumph again in K-O-R-E-A in the year 2023.

Bratty kids need to keep their votes to themselves! IU was robbed!

Quote from WhyKnock

If BTS' exemption had been granted the men would exclusively voted for her and elected her for the #1 singer of K-O-R-E-A.

No. BTS would have won this poll by larger margin if they had been granted exemption. Because there's a reason why they have been the only artist ever to be #1 on this poll for 5 consecutive years.....

Just nod, y'all

Are my eyes reading wrong but its not just teenage girls who voted for BTS over IU?

The bolded ones are where BTS leads

BTS - 29,4% Iu - 26.6%

Men

13-18 - 31% 28%

19-29 - 24% 31%

30-39 - 18% 28%

Women

13-18 - 46% 21%

19-29 - 35% 28%

30-39 - 26% 21%

Ofc we can keep claiming BTS only has support of teenage girls but that clearly ain't the case. Teenage boys also prefer BTS.

Also IU not releasing a song is not as bad as the tumultuous times BTS found themselves in this year and the fandom for the most part being confused and distraught. Things have only gotten stable in the fandom since late Oct when enlistment was announced and BTS gave a clear timeline for their return.

Ironic

Quote from WhyKnock

It would probably have become a man vs woman battle. A lot of votes to IU were protest votes against bts

No normal person gives a shit, they will say what first comes to mind when they are asked the question "who was the most noteworthy artist this year"? No sane person will think "hm, i better say Y now so X doesnt win this poll i never heard of"

What's Gallup

What's Gallup

In this case, a yearly public opinion poll conducted in korea three times during a year regarding artists/celebrities and songs, and then released at year end

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallup_Korea

Domestically when it comes to Korea, no one compares to IU, her longevity proves this. She will continue to be the one top star of Korean music overall.
