I won't say favourite but like, the group that catches my attention the most would be infinite. The first time I watched a music video of their's, which was the chaser, I though they were just good and didn't notice them as much. When infinite h came out, I started watching their other mv's and watching variety shows like you're my oppa and sesame player. I thought they were just like every group but then when they bully sunggyu on the shows like weekly idol, I release that they're a very close knit group. I feel sorry every time sunggyu gets bullied but I love his reactions too much XD. Every idol group is really special and has lots of skills and attractions but infinite just catches me off guard. Also I love how they can pretty open on tv. Like when dongwoo farted when he was on mamma mia and apologised only after his mom asked what that sound was. That was too freaking adorable and his laugh just kills me jakaksld. Anyway I wrote this without little hope that I win but I just used this time to spazz about infinite hahaha okay bye.

You know, reading a lot of these answers from your readers gave me lots of thoughts and ideas of what the definition of 'love' or 'favoritism' is lol. Just a random thought haha. I found it really interesting haha. Like literally, I followed this blog post of yours cause I thought it was legit lol. I give a lot of respect and props for all the kpop groups that was mentioned and mostly for your readers. And i will give you the most prop when you announce a winner, cause as I read on, I realized there is no 'right' or 'wrong' and everyone has their own reasons, but once you announce the winner, it's like taking a side lol. Every group has their weaknesses and their strengths that makes them shine brightest, or makes them dull. And as I thought more about this, everything seems to contradict itself. (Even my own answer/ thought contradicts itself) it seems like its just one's beliefs. By the way, no offense was intended if I did offend you, it was just a thought that has been circulating around my head a lot lol. Alright, I should screw off now lol.

BEAST.

Because the song 'Beautiful' makes me want to learn more about this music (K-pop) industry. And I also know that they were struggling so much as a trainee. From being the back dancers for their own friend, almost got out from the industry, eliminated, seeing their own friend debut first. It's so sad. But from their song I feel the eagerness to rise up above kkkk. They have these spirits despite of being called a 'recycle' group.

See how they shine nowww :"")

SHINee
I started out preferring other groups (MBLAQ, B.A.P)but I eventually gravitated to SHINee. I find it hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about them that makes them so enamouring. The biggest reason that SHINee is my ultimate bias group is because I love each member so much. If I were to make my list of Top 10 male idols, they would all make that list.
Lee Jinki - who has a brightness and earnesty about him that makes me drawn to him in live performances especially (not to mention his angel voice).
. Kim Jonghyun - who is so arrogant an obnoxious in the most endearing way possible. His confidence and care-free personality and an aspect to SHINee that could not be provided by any other member.
- Kim Kibum - who is very insiteful and intelligent in interviews yet also has his dancing, diva personality that is so lovable (and entertaining - I have spent so much time on YouTube watching videos of this boy).
- Choi Minho - who receives the most criticism yet is never remotely lazy. I truly believe he has been given a bad wrap talent-wise (although I am biased). I also absolutely love his ability to be manly, cute and kind all at the same time.
- Lee Taemin - who's beauty makes me jealous as a female sometimes. Not to mention the fact that he has been able to maintain such a genuine innocence and lovability despite growing up handsomely.

At the end of the day, SHINee gives me happiness. Their albums are full of incredible songs, their variety programs are entertaining and heartwarming and they have made me happy during a dark period of my life.

It's EXO. Why?
It's because they are imperfect ;) although the company is trying so hard to show how perfect they are, but we can see through it all that they are actually the teenage boys who are working hard to give the best for their fans.
They have a duizhang ( a leader ) who falls easily for an aegyo. They have a tall member but with a deep voice which doesn't suit his cute face. They have a magnae who looks like a gangster. They have another magnae who doesn't show lots of cute stuff but an angry face when he dances. And they are so much more about their unique and imperfect personalities.
I would not say they are the best and the most famous boyband around the world, but I love them. They made me in awe when they cameback with the "Wolf" concept. I mean, they brave enough to make a big shot again. First, MAMA and then, Wolf. We know their concept is quite unusual in Kpop. I mean, lots of people could ditch them more with their like-fantasy concept. The haters would say something more hurtful to them, but they stand still for us. For their fans.
They may made us wait for over a year for this comeback, waiting sadly for them with all the comeback of other band. We were just sitting there, looking at the pc screen at the another hoax news of their comeback. Plus, there were some leaked songs of them, making us missed them more.
But, despite all the leaked things about them. Despite our long await for them. They made me bursting in joy when I listened through their newest songs. It feels like it was nothing to wait for over thirteen months for this them.
Their songs have been making my day and I wish they can give more and more awesome songs for us. EXO, fighting! <3

4) This one applies only to SuJu, because BtoB hasn't had any scandals yet. SuJu is a persevering, loving, and close knit group. They've had their ample share of scandals, and a scandal is never easy on the individual because it affects the group as a whole. From Hangeng to Kibum to Kangin, the group has managed to stay together, forming even closer bonds as a result of their scandals.

5) This one also applies to only SuJu. They are there for each other. Heechul, Eeteuk, Eunhyuk, Shindong, and Kyuhyun. The E.L.F fandom, but also all the other fandoms may never forget the day that SuJu's car accident occurred. Eeteuk had glass shards embedded in his skin, he was bleeding profusely, yet he still managed to crawl over to the unconscious Kyuhyun to see if he was okay. I don't know what others may call it, but I call it love. Heechul was also in an accident. He snapped his leg in two. He bit onto his tongue not wanting to show others the pain he was going through, afraid they may worry too much. His tongue bled. He was biting onto it so hard that he had to receive stitches. I don't know what others call it, but I call it sacrifice.

Thank you so much Dubulge for this. At first it was the prize that was appealing. But as I typed on, I realized that more than the prize, I just really wanted to share with everyone why I love these two amazing groups. Thank you for making me fall in love with them all over again.

Super Junior and BtoB.
You absolutely cannot make me choose between these two groups. They seem so far apart, Super Junior is legendary while BtoB is a rookie group, but they are both appealing for the same reasons.

1) They both have ruined their images. SuJu is famous in the industry for having tossed away their image long ago. But what's surprising is that even as year-old rookies, BtoB has already done they same. If you search up either BtoB diary or one of their practice covers on youtube, it's impossible to think that they even had an image in the first place. They both put the fan's amusement first, throwing their bodies, and often in BtoB's cases their voices, just to elicit some laughter from the fan. We can feel their love, just from the way they are willing to humiliate themselves for us.

2) They have amazing singers. There may be members that are more lacking than others, but everyone in both groups can carry a tune when asked. BtoB especially. I all but melt under their acapella skills. Each and every one of the members of BtoB is truly amazing. Meanwhile, SuJu is a group filled with talented people. Each is talented in his own way, and I acknowledge that. They wouldn't have survived for this long if they weren't that talented. SuJu meticulously followed in the footsteps of their DBSK sunbaes, and opened up the gates for their SNSD, Shinee, F(x), and Exo hoobaes.

3)They both have that hilariously awkward member who is so underrated. In SuJu's case it's either Ryewook or Yesung, and in BtoB it's Peniel. I find them so charismatic and amazing, compelled to continue on making the music they love, even though they might not be the most popular in the group.

SHINee!

Why? Number one, because I simply love their songs. Anyone who listens to RDD would emerge singing “Fantastic, elastic” or if not “Ring ding dong~”; anyone who listens to Sherlock would come out singing “I’m so curious yeah~”; anyone who listens to Why so serious would end up singing “Whhy so seereeous~” at the end of it ̶ simply shows how addictive and awesome their music is. I’m sure that as a Shawol yourself, you would know that every single song that they produce are of top-notch quality and deserve to be where they are on the ranking charts. Number two, their dancing is just ASDFGHJKL good. I mean, they’re always known as one of the groups with the hardest choreographies in the K-pop music industry. Take Lucifer as an example. Wow, one look at it and you know that it isn’t easy. And their sync-ness when doing the dance ̶ although I can’t say it’s as synced as Infinite’s 99.9% sychronised dance, but still, keeping in rhythm and almost-perfect timing with the rest of the group along with the hard choreography and having to sing (especially long high notes for Jonghyun) isn’t easy and also requires a lot of teamwork, which brings me on to my next point. Number three, their teamwork and how they care for each other like a family despite their personality differences. They are a very closely-knitted band that knows each other very well, as seen in many variety shows when they can talk so much about each other’s lives and all, that sometimes you wonder if they actually knew each other in their past lives. They all (to be continued in replies)

It's a tough question, to be honest. I'm a fan of almost every male band in the music industry. But I know there'll always e a time where I have to choose.

If I really have to point out one group, I'd say it's DBSK. Why? Because one, they're the ones who itroduced me to kpop. They also helped me realize my talents. Secod, because of them I learned a lot of things. I learned that friends always matter first and that patience will always be rewarded in the end. DBSK has inspired me to write, too. The five stars in the Cassiopeia constellation had really brightened my dark world. Cheesy, yes. But it's true. I used to be suicidal efore them (before Kpop, that is.) And I owe my life to their songs that has given me another reason to live.

That's all, thank you.

Infinite. :)))

First reason is their songs. Their songs are very distinct. Once you hear their songs, you could actually say that it is sung by Infinite. Second, is their dancing. Their movements aren't all about synchronicity but also the precise and accurate angles of their body. When I first watched their practice video, I could've mistaken them for robots. But when I saw them in pain and learned that Sungyeol got injured, it made me think otherwise. They're humans. Third reason is their personality. Every time they film variety shows, I am proud to say that they are one of the dorkiest dork I've seen. But once they step on the stage and perform for all Inspirits, you could feel their passion. Even If I am only at the front of the laptop and more than 2000 kilometers away from Seoul, I can feel their passion, their love to perform for us, Inspirits. Take Sunggyu for example, he is bullied by s most of the time but during practice and all, one can feel his superiority among s. Fourth is their voices. I just love it. There is something with their voices that made me love them. They can stir my emotions. When the song is sad, I sometimes cry. When the song is upbeat, I dance. Hihihi. And here goes the last reason: Yeah. For some people, Dongwoo can be unattractive. (I used to think that way when I wasn't an Inspirit yet) But every time he dances he just gets more attractive to me (smoking hot, I must say. XD) His talent is amazing, all of their talent are amazing. And for me, it's not their looks that made me like them, but their talent. I learned to appreciate the talent more than the looks.

Could've listed more but these are enough. :)))

CNBLUE!!!
Why?? Because they're not typical Korean idol. Their talent in playing instrument is great and they also composed many great songs for their album. I always get goosebum whenever I watched their live performance video and when I went to their world tour in Singapore last April...well my feeling is simply indescribable. Everything was so amazing and they really rock the stage!! Gosh,they're just amazing

My favorite band is linkin park. ok altough i like kpop, but originally i like this band very much. and i still like them. i started listening to their song when it was Numb released. It was 2002, so i was 7 back then. funny right? but its real! i watched their mv on MTV and suddenly i like it. then i told my 10-years-older sister, then she like it too. we collecting their cassetes and so on. CDs was expensive that time so we just bought the cassetes. They are awesome band! with smart brain too. they are all UCLA students, if im not mistaken. they make good musib and lyrics. every songs have a deep meaning behind them. maybe that was how many people like them.
