Results from ‘King of Idols’

On February 2nd, SBS aired a special Lunar New Year’s broadcast, ‘King of Idols‘, where top idol stars came together to play various games and select the “King and Queen.” As it turns out, the other idols selected Big Bang’s maknae, Seungri, and After School’s UEE as “King and Queen.”

During the show where idols were able to show off their skills and during games where they could reveal their competitive side, Seungri was able to overcome skilled opponents such as SHINee’s Minho, 2PM’s Chansung and Nichkhun, etc. – to become the best of the guys.

Seungri shed tears as he stated, “I was worried about whether I would be accepted by other idol groups, but I’m so thankful that everybody was so welcoming.”

In the female portion for the title of “Queen”, UEE defeated KARA’s Hara and Seungyeon, T-ara’s Hyomin, and others to receive the title.

In the end, ‘King’ Seungri chooses UEE, but UEE dumps Seungri and chooses Jinwoon – putting Seungri in a humiliating situation.

Meanwhile, it was revealed by AGB Nielsen Media Research that ‘King of Idols’ obtained a rating of 10.8% on Lunar New Year Eve, edging competition from KBS’s ‘Idol Health Beauty Contest‘, MBC’s ‘Love Studio‘ and SBS’s ‘Star Blind Date‘ which garnered 8.9%, 4.9% and 5.1% respectively.
