Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism released Overseas Korean Wave Survey of Top 10 Favorite Singers in 2023

My response in two different scenarios

Twice is on the list: This list is completely legitimate and shows that Twice is still relevant in today’s Kpop scene!

Twice is not on the list: This list is bad and not accurate whatsoever.

The duality of man.

Flopwice still the second highest GG, I thought they got ended by 4th genners

Cray seeing Jungkook and Lisa just holding their own as solos while their groups also sit pretty at 1 & 2.

Getting that double dipping in.

What doesn't help newer groups is that the survey only allows two options for fave artist. Building enough name recognition will take them a few years.

But this report is always interesting and very extensive (like 138 pages). Quite a few other nice graphs.

For example this one is the favorite music artist graph based on each continent:

(Average of 26 surveyed countries - Asia/Pacific - Americas)

(Europe - Middle East - Africa)

G-Dragon over BIGBANG? Interesting.

I've always thought his name was indeed more recognized globally than his group's.

Someone who should not be there is on both lists

#3. Psy

I doubt that Psy is that many people's favourite singer.

Rather, I think it's a case of "Psy is the only K-pop artist I can name (because of Gangnam Style)".

In those charts, what do those different shades of green in the chart mean?

Like in Africa, Jungkook is ahead of Blackpink in the dark green line, which is why he is number 2 there. But the light green bar has Blackpink higher.

Dark green only considers the artists that participants placed first as their fave artists while light green ads the artists that ranked second in their answers (tho they weren't obliged to name two).

The only representation of their generation, cool

Womp womp. My underrated TXT babies did not make the list. But at least BTS did, as expected!

Psy still that high?

Nice. Never forgotten
