The Shorty Awards, the Twitter equivalent to television's Golden Globes or Hollywood's Oscars, is an annual competition to recognize "the best people and organizations on Twitter and social media." But when the Shorty Awards organizers put together this year's 3rd annual competition, they probably weren't expecting such outright dominance by Korean celebrities.
As further evidence (as if we needed any) of K-pop's global reach, K-pop celebrities are dominating the leaderboard for "Best Celebrity on Twitter", with JYJ's Jaejoong (@mjjeje) and Super Junior's Heechul (@heedictator) taking 1st and 3rd place, respectively. Tween sensation Justin Bieber is ranked 2nd, Jay Park 5th (just beating Selena Gomez, who's currently 6th), and fellow JYJ members Yoochun and Junsu bringing up the rear at 13th and 14th.
