Jukeon, a Korean music site, held a poll from January 17 to January 23 to see which idol group is the most anticipated in the year of 2008.

5,542 members voted, and with a vote of 2,085 (37.13% of the total), DBSK (Tohoshinki) was named the most anticipated group of the year.

DBSK, who has been named Asia's #1 Male Group, has been extremely busy, on January 16, they released their 16th single "Purple Line" in Japan. Their single has since reached number one on Japanese music charts.

With 1,899 (34.27%) votes, the hip-hop group Big Bang followed closely behind. Big Bang who released their Japanese album this month, will also begin performing and promoting their album in February or March.

Coming in third place, with 996 (17.97%) votes, was the Wonder Girls, the only girl group on the list. Last year, the girls received much recognition with their song "Tell Me." Their next album is planned for release sometime in May.

Shinhwa grabbed fourth place with 396 (7.15%) votes, and SS501 grabbed fifth place with 193 (3.48%) votes.

Do these numbers hold true?

^haha are you gonna comment on all of your articles?

Not really looking forward to it, but I’m just curious if Wonder Girls are going to be able to top ‘Tell Me’ or not.

I voted for Big Bang because they are awesome, but DBSK’s fanbase is much bigger, so they’ll probably win.

Popularity contest....
Vote for SG, but well, they won’t win for sure in these kind of polls, so good luck to who vote for DBSK!

Yay for DBSK!! To be gone for a whole year and have people still love you and waiting for your comeback. I was afraid that their fan base would dwindle down badly and that Suju would take their place but never underestimate the power of Cassies.

I back up for Big Bang, their recent album is just too great. Those guys have a good sense of fashion too. They can be grouped with other boybands.
2008 should be another year of BigBang.
