To celebrate its 27th anniversary, Sports Korea recently conducted a survey to find the top dogs of K-pop this year, interviewing those that would know best -- the idols themselves! Inviting 100 idols to participate in the event, the team was able to discern interesting facts about these performers' lives as well as who they think are at the top of the industry.

The participants of this survey included 2PM, 4minute, B2ST, SISTAR, SECRET, FT Island, CNBLUE, f(x), B.A.P, EXO-K, Jewelry, JJ Project, Z:EA, Dal Shabet, A Pink, Nine Muses, Dalmatian, Boyfriend, BTOB and Bigs.
