Best Idol Group Leader Goes to…

Best Idol Group Leader

Netizens have voted Super Junior's Lee Teuk as the best idol group leader!

The votes for the question "Which idol group leader shows leadership most often?" were made from the 16th to 23rd through community portal site, DC Inside.

I would think that someone like TVXQ's U-Know Yunho would receive the pot of gold, but that doesn't seem to be the case in this survey. Super Junior's Lee Teuk alone grabbed 34.2% of the votes, scoring 15,742 of the 45,928 votes made. Super Junior member Heechul, who is the same age as Lee Teuk, explained that Lee Teuk "always puts the members before himself," and that "even though he gets angry at his dongsengs, he always hugs and apologizes in the end."

I'm a bit surprised by Lee Teuk's win - Forgive me Suju fans, but I didn't even know he was the leader until this year! Lee Teuk doesn't give off the leader vibe in my opinion, but then again, who can blame him? It must be really hard to stand out when there are twelve members next to you.

The runner-up, much to my surprise, was from a girl idol group - Taeyeon of SNSD / Girls' Generation, with 22.1% of the votes (10,171 votes). Although 2NE1 is relatively new to the K-pop industry, I think CL, with that spunk and charisma of hers that can't be found in any other girl groups, would've definitely made a more appropriate candidate. And what about the Wonder Girls?! Where's Sun Ye to rock the other leaders out?

TVXQ's U-Know Yunho grabbed third place, scoring 21.4% (9,850 votes). Following the top three, the other votes went to SS501's Kim Hyun Joong, SHINee's Onew, and 2PM's Jaebeom. Why in the world was Jaebeom last? Beats me. Both Yunho and Jaebeom should have definitely been ranked higher. There's just something that sets off unique sparks in these two that you can't find in any other idol group leaders.


Who do you think is the best idol group leader?

My vote goes to Leeteuk. It must be hard dealing with 12 other members and keeping Super Junior well known seems to be a must for him whenever he goes to a show.
His pride for Super Junior is beautiful (:

@77:  I wasn’t BASHING Leetuek. In case you didn’t see..I even said…“Its not that I don’t like him or anything”  I just feel that he doesn’t have leadership quality like other leaders have. Also…Netizens CAN be dumb…they are just normal people living their lives. They can make mistakes and stupid decisions. Just because they chose Teukue as number 1, doesn’t mean they know all that should be correct. Just because you praise their decision doesn’t mean other people have to as well..understand? Ok, thank you.

 

 

 

@79:  Being a very successful group is a STRONG representation of the LEADER itself. The leader is the person that holds the group together, corrects their mistakes, helps them out with things…etc. If it wasn’t for the leader being present, then these idol groups might have a problem.  Someone is there to make sure they do things correctly…So YES..if the group is successful and number 1…then YES the LEADER should be too. The leader is PART of the reason the group is so successful in the first place.  Someone has to keep everyone in line and in order….every good team has someone backing them whether it be a coach, manager…etc. The people in charge..are indeed important. Also when you say “it depends on how the leader promotes his group to the public” then you have just proved my point.  The leader has plenty of power in how the group is received.  Thank you for making my point clearer.

 

 


@80: Excuse me…but how exactly does leading larger groups place people above others? The number of members make no difference. Its the hard work and dedication that those members display that makes the group significant as well. I’m 100 % sure Yunho has had a harder time managing DBSK then Leetuek or TaeYeon has had leading their groups…and the number of people have nothing to do with it. Just because Big Bang, SHINee and DBSK don’t have a great number of members…doesn’t mean that their leaders haven’t had to work their asses off…doesn’t mean they haven’t had a bunch of struggles to overcome. =)

All leaders on the list are great. I can’t even choose which one. After a lot of consideration. I think my vote goes to Yunho. This is not bias vote, in fact it is based on how they all been together as one group. I agree that Lee Teuk is a great leader because he is a leader for a 13, and i am not going to argue about his winning in fact i congrat him for that. After all, DBSK & Suju is family. So , Cassie and elf are family too. My vote goes to U-know because of his leadership skill even tho he always look serious when we knew he is soften in the inside. He lead DBSK to be one of the most popular group in Asia, despite with all the tiredness, tight schedules,he manage to put all of the member to be motivate. He cares for his members more than he is. Have u heard DBSK member disrespect him ..None because they respect him as a leader, he has vibe as a leader. I always wonder how it is going to be if JJ is a leader because he is the oldest one, i think the group would be in a mess because he is playful n yet too cute to be a leader smile

A poll like this without Jiyong and Sunye? I didn’t vote not because I disagree that Teukkie is a great leader..its just that a poll without Leader Kwon and Leader Min just seems weird and not authentic to me.

at 45 Bri Bri;
whats wrong with Leeteuk being voted for the best leader? yes, DBSK is alot more successful then SuJu and I love DBSK and all but scoring #1 on charts doesnt make Yunho a greaat leader. and whats wtih this Taeyeon and Leeteuk not having a “LEADER VIBE” WTF. Do all great leaders give off the leader vibe? uh, NO?

WHAT THE HELL BRI BI?? so hypocrite of you saying that!! You like shinee the best ofcourse you say that. Youre just mad because onew got 5th. And thats it. You say “he’s leading one of the best idol groups out right now! SHINee have been so freakin successful’ Like duhh ofcourse. Suju was successful too when they first debuted. Im not a suju fan either but you’re dumb too. The only difference is suju debuted first and shinee just last year or whenever.. you werent there when suju first debuted. Wel do you know that the shinee members also tease their leader?? what diff does it make from leeteuk??? Suju members dont listen to leeteuk??  sure about that? Youre SO BIASSSSS!!!! I bet youre gonna say that even if onew got teased alot the members still listen to him and the suju members dont?? WTF??? WHo’s bias AND dumb right now?

 
no avatar

definitely lee teuk ... a leader of a 13 members group..goodness… he is probably the only one in the whole world or so that i know ....  and he is my fav of suju anyway.. haha..bias ..i know.. but its the truth ... he always seem to allow his members to have their share of words when possible and screen appearance…

@ 45.107. Bri Bri,
I respect your opinion on Leeteuk not being a good leader whatsoever but it would be good if you can keep that to yourself. People have different opinions on others and it would be good if you just support on the one you think is best.  easy, no? :D

 
no avatar

teeukie doesnt reali stand out for being a leader but he always put his members before him n knows his members reali well, including their strengths n weaknesses, also think about his position where he doesn’t only lead 5 members, but 12!! yunho is def a leader material but he cares a lot about himself sometimes n acts like a cute baby XD

HELLO!!!!!?? YOU DON’T KNOW LEE TEUK IS THE LEADER?
HE IS THE LEADER!!!! IT’S BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT SJ!!!!!!!!!
SHUT THE HELL UP BRI BRI!! MAYBE YOU’RE AN ANTI-SJ!!!
IT’S OBVIOUS THAT LEE TEUK’S THE LEADER!!!!!!

 
Bri Bi's avatar

@116/128….You might wanna go and read over my comments again. I said there is way more to being a leader then having a LEADER VIBE. I didn’t even say all leaders have to have a LEADER VIBE. I also didn’t say that the only way to tell if a leader is good or not is by the success of their group. I ALSO didn’t say Leetuek wasn’t a GOOD LEADER. I just said I don’t think he should have gotten number 1! This is a blog made for expressing your opinions! Everyone else is doing it…so why can’t I exactly? LOL!!

 
Maaal's avatar

& why is taeyeon there?

 
xHoneyx's avatar

i actually agree with the writer;
“Lee Teuk doesn’t give off the leader vibe in my opinion”
not being biased i would have definately picked Yunho from DBSK/TVXQ, he has leadership written all over him

see through the result i found that
the best group leader and the group faced a bad moment and circumstance
such as accident or antis but not decide from the individual personality at all
may be they should change the vote topic to suit with this one, right?

 
Chibilinh's avatar

WEEEEEEEEE!!! YAY FOR TEUKIE!

:]

Well, I think JaeBeom should be second then HyunJoong.
And the TaeYeon then YunHo then Onew.
Don’t like DBSK or SHINee much, so threw them down to the bottom raspberry

BEST IDOL GROUP LEADER goes to.. Leeteuk (SUPERJUNIOR) . yey! ^_^ teukie teukie fighting!

WHY THE HELL GD ISN’T ON THE LIST? LIKE SERIOUSLY ...
well, teukie needs to control you know, like 10+ boys ... it should’ve been really hard. But still, like some people here, i thought yunho would get no.1 and i don’t even like dbsk.
if i put my bias aside, hyunjoong still should be in the top three.

this poll is decided by the votes right?
if it is, then it was the fans doing anyway. who have more fans, they’ll get it. period.

@126/138: Damn!! Some people are MAD! LMAO!!!!! Do I really have that much power over you guys, to make you that angry?! AWESOME!!!!!!


@:126: Ah… I said other people would have been really great as number 1 too! Like GD, Yunho…even Jae would have been awesome! Not only Onew!  Ummm I’m sorry, but Suju was NOT successful when they first debuted. They are just NOW in the present time starting to become successful.  Umm, where is all the “Suju members tease Leetuek!”  “SHINee members tease Onew” crap coming from? When did I ever talk about anyone teasing anyone? LMAO!!!!!  What exactly does that have to do with ANYTHING?!!  For you to NOT BE A SUJU FAN…you sure did get pretty offended….you sure your not a fan…you sure about that? LMAO!!  Bye responding to my comment in the manner that you did…that only proves that I am not in fact the dumb one. But you are. Thank you!

Anyways….people are getting really worked up over my comments….why does anyone even care what I say anyways? Its all MY opinion. Everyone is entitled to their OWN opinions. If people are getting hurt so much by what I say, try your hardest to ignore it and be happy that Tuekie is NUMBER 1…okay!?

firstly, i don’t even know why there are “leaders” in idol groups *scratches head*
BUT if i have to choose one, i’ll choose Yunho because he gives this comfortable and protective aura xD and he’s a guy you can be hella proud of as your leader LOL i think the rest of the list is pretty OK, too (agree with orenji, leeteuk and taeyeon had been through so much and i can tell you guys, taeyeon is one strong girl => mad props for her) and no offense but BB and WG are just away for a few months, netizens forgot ‘bout them already? =(

 
enipi's avatar

i think U-know should definitely be the best because i watch a lot of dbsk & suju videos and i’d have to say u-know is a really good leader. but i understand that for leetuek, it’d be hard to stand out in his group.
