A college research team ran a survey on Twitter by searching every positive mention of a K-Pop star and tracking which part of Asia the tweet came from.

EXO: China, Thailand, Vietnam
2PM/INFINITE: SEA
B2ST/JYJ: Japan, Hong Kong
Super Junior/SHINee: SEA, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan

1. [+715, -33] EVen though we hate on K-POp idols, I'm still really proud when they do well in other countries

2. [+605, -16] Seems like every country has different tastes in style

3. [+585, -68] But it's true that when you go overseas, foreigners don't know the name of Korea's president but they'll know names like 2PM and Super Junior...

4. [+239, -18] SHINee and Super Junior are popular outside of Asia as well... Anyway, where's Big Bang?

5. [+177, -18] TVXQ, Big Bang, and SNSD???

6. [+148, -22] Why is there no mention of TVXQ or Big Bang!?? Too much EXO spotlight these days

7. [+61, -11] Honestly, EXO's only popular because they have a few Chinese members so the Chinese buy up their albums... imagine if it was only EXO-K, they wouldn't nearly be as popular as they are now
