The group Newzins and Lim Young-woong were selected as the singers who shone in 2024.
As a result of Gallup Korea asking 5,281 people aged 13 or older (excluding Jeju) three times in July, September, October, and November 2024, up to three of its favorite singers this year (a ±2.1 percentage point sampling error at the 95% confidence level), Newzins topped the list with 25.5% support, and Lim Young-woong ranked first with 33.9% in the 40s and older.
Newzins has remained at the top this year after rapidly emerging from fifth place in 2022, his first year of debut, to first place the following year. IU came in second with 20.6 percent support, followed by Aespa (13.3 percent), BTS (10.7 percent), and Ives (10.2 percent).
Lim Young-woong has been selected as the most loved singer in his 40s and older for five consecutive years since 2020. Trot singers such as Lee Chan-won (12.2%), Jang Yoon-jung (11.8%), Young-tak (10.0%), and Na Hoon-ah (8.1%) continued to be strong.
In the under 30s, the progress of Espa and Day6 stood out. Black Pink Rose entered the top 10 for the first time as a solo artist, and Park Seo-jin, the "God of Janggu," was ranked 10th in the 40s and older.
Among this year's best songs, Rosé and Bruno Mars' collaboration song "APT." (9.8%), and Lim Young-woong's "Love Always Runs Away" (5.9%) ranked first in the 40s and older, respectively. Under 30s, Espa's "Supernova" (7.2%), Newzins' "How Sweet" (5.9%), and Ive's "HEYA" (5.3%) gained popularity, followed by Lim Young-woong's "Warm" (5.5%), Jin Sung's "At Andong Station" (3.9%), and Lim Young-woong's "Now Trust Me" (3.8%).
The results of the survey clearly show that people in their 30s and under and those in their 40s have different music preferences. Those in their 30s and under prefer idol-centered K-pop, while those in their 40s and above had high support for trot singers and established songs. Details are available on Gallup Korea website.
