On December 21st, Youtube reported the top 10 most-watched music videos by domestic citizens in Korea (not including overseas views) since January 1st, 2011.
According to the report, the #1 most-watched K-pop music video in Korea for 2011 was Wonder Girls‘ and their hit track, “Be My Baby“.
HyunA‘s solo single “Bubble Pop” came in at #2, while SNSD‘s “The Boys” came in at #3, holding a record for immediately receiving 400,000 views upon release.
At #4 was “STEP” from KARA‘s third full-length album which is earning much love and support in Japan, and at #5 and #6 were 2NE1‘s “Lonely” and “I Am the Best“, respectively.
T-ara‘s “Roly Poly” came in at #7, followed by f(x)‘s “Pinocchio” at #8, SISTAR‘s “So Cool” came in at #9, and miss A‘s “Good-bye Baby” rounded out the top 10.
MBC Every1‘s ‘Weekly Idol‘ recently surveyed idol stars to pick the ‘best idol of 2011′.
Although it’s interesting to see what industry officials and fans have to say on this topic, the opinions of idols on their contemporaries is doubly so. Participating groups for this survey included B2ST, INFINITE, B1A4, G.NA, T-ara, the Brown Eyed Girls, and many others.
In first place was ‘the hottest trend idols of 2011′, INFINITE. Miryo commented, “They’ve reached the spot of the trendiest idols yet!” while Rainbow‘s No Eul added, “With just their singing alone, they’ve managed to gain public recognition and popularity.”
Yes indeed. They're gonna be split into one unit for Korea and one for China, debuting simultaneously with the same song in their respective language. Teaser apparently coming in a few hours!

I think they're debuting two male groups. But what's the point in debuting them at the same time? sounds pointless.
As for my favorite Infinite song, it's probably "Be Mine", I can literally listen to it all day long, the production, the melody, it's perfect.
Paradise is a close second, I wasn't feeling it at first, but once it grows on you it's LIFE. I love how 80's it sounds.
