The list instantly became a hot topic among Korean netizens:


- Why is it touching to see SHINee's Jonghyun? Japanese fans, thank you for remembering Jonghyun.

- Jungkook is the best

- It's in order of popularity

- DK is really good at singing

- They held the voting at a popular place, so only the Japanese can vote, and you can't vote twice. I guess it's a ranking among the popular kids in Japan that people think are good at singing. If they're not popular in Japan, how can people know and vote for them?

- Shouldn't the kid in the 2nd place be at the 1st place?

- I scrolled down as soon as I saw who's in the 1st place

- I'm happy to see Jonghyun here

- Taeil is really good at singing

- This is a popularity vote

- Jungkook is always at the top, no matter the genre he's good at it

- In the order of singing skills? In the order of popularity? There's no need to fight each other because it's both. I told my friends to pick someone who sings well, but many of them automatically picked their favorite idols, so if you think about it, these idols can be great singers or popular. Don't forget; this is Japan.

- Among them, I think Xia Junsu and Jonghyun is the best.

- There are many vocalists at the bottom who are better singers than the vocalists at the top.

- Our famous puppy

- Han is not in a vocal position, but he is in. Of course, he sings well.

- U-know Yunho hahahaha

- I understand everything except U-Know Yunho. Who the heck voted for him? Hahahahaha

- NCT's Taeil is a master singer. He sings really well. JYJ's Junsu and Jaejoong are also good at singing.

- At first I was nodding and saying ohhh, but then I got huhh?
