VOTE NOW! The Greatest K-Pop Song of All Time!!!

K POP Bracket

As any true fan can tell you, there’s more to K-pop than “Gangnam Style.” Psy’s smash may be an instant—and, for now, inescapable—classic, but South Korea’s singular music scene has produced so many killer hits that it’s amazing America didn’t catch onto the sound sooner. In fact, “Gangnam Style” was knocked out in the first round of this, our epic tournament to determine the greatest K-pop song of all time. Round Two saw Girls’ Generation barely eking out a win over T-ara. Onto Round Three! VOTE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE until the round closes at 8 a.m. EST on Saturday, October 27.

ROUND THREE

Welcome to Round Three! Our original 32 seeded contestants in four brackets (Girl Group, Female Solo, Male Solo and Boy Group) have been narrowed down to eight. Girls’ Generation have defeated T-ara—and now go up against the little girl group that could, Wonder Girls! Another unlikely match-up? The mighty Hyuna versus Ga-In. Rain, meanwhile, faces Junsu. But is the most exciting contest between Super Junior and TVXQ? Read! Listen! VOTE! And do it all before 8 a.m. EST on Saturday, October 27, when the round two closes! (Plus: Check out all of our other amazing K-pop Week coverage!)

NOTE: THERE IS A DELAY OF A FEW SECONDS AFTER EACH VOTE.

This is to make sure the voting goes smoothly as more and more of you visit the site!
