Top 10 Best Asian Pop Artists
Super Junior is a South Korean boy band. Formed in 2005 by producer Lee Soo-man of S.M. Entertainment, the group comprised a total of thirteen members at its peak. In a world that is now continually producing mediocre music, when I first discovered Super Junior, I thought they, too, were just another large boy band with mediocre talent. That's when I had just heard about them. When I actually learned about them and listened to their music, I was amazed. There has never been a group like them. Each has their own individual talent, and then they have the talent to merge all of that together and become fantastic. I have never regretted finding them. I am proud to say I am an ELF, and they have earned their way from 2005 to now. They are the last men standing. They are our Superman, our Gulliver, our childish yet hardworking and strong men. Forever 15, forever Super Junior.

Vote for Han Geng. He is the best Asian pop singer, dancing king, and actor.
Girls’ Generation, also known as SNSD, was formed in South Korea, in 2007. The current members are Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun. Jessica left in 2014. They are known as the second best selling girl group of all time, Korea’s National Girl Group, and one of... read more SNSD is the best. No one can beat them in my heart. They're the leaders of the Hallyu wave, the bosses. They may be idols, but they seem like your girls next door. They are down-to-earth, dorky, and funny. They don't care about their image, even if there are many cameras on them. They just want to be themselves. They play pranks on each other. The nine of them are really close, like real sisters.
They may have the faces of goddesses, but in their hearts, they are just young girls who want to live like 20-year-olds despite being the center of attention. Love them forever.
Agnes Monica Muljoto, known professionally as Agnez Mo, is an Indonesian Diva, singer, songwriter, and music producer. Everybody can talk, but the real thing is the fact... Agnes is the fact.
Timbaland praised her vocals and decided to collaborate on some projects with her. Missy Elliott and Mike Posner also praised her vocals. Furthermore, Mike is really interested in working with her, whether it's composing or a duet. Michael Bolton himself asked her to do a duet with him. He also believes that there is a lot of positive energy within Agnes' vocals.
She sings really well, not only in hip-hop but also in traditional Indonesian dance. Additionally, she can act very well and has received around 50 awards. The most important thing? She never stops learning. What else do I need to say?
TVXQ, also known as Dong Bang Shin Ki, is a South Korean pop duo that originally debuted as a five-member group in 2003. They are one of the leading figures in the Hallyu wave and have immense popularity both domestically and internationally. TVXQ's musical style is diverse, spanning genres like pop,... read more I'm not biased. DBSK isn't even my favorite band. But if we're talking about the most powerful/best Asian pop artists, it has to be DBSK/TVXQ. They've dominated both Japan and Asia, have the biggest fan club in the world, and even as they are now (acting as just Yunho and Changmin), they are even more popular now than when they were a group. Sorry, everyone else. DBSK wins.
Their voices are heavenly. Their a cappella is beautiful. Their personalities are so good and down-to-earth, despite how great their popularity is. They taught me about friendship, brotherhood, love, life, and dreams. They are an inspiration.
I always give thanks to God for introducing them into my life. Always Keep The Faith, my five stars, my Gods of the East, my TVXQ!
Their dedication to achieving success is worth emulating for average teenagers. Their discipline, spirit, and passion for music are awesome. They always give their best to entertain fans! That's why I love these girls.
Some people say they are childish, but hey, are you blind? You don't know how hard they train every day, every night, every hour just for the fans. Even if some of them are childish, these girls' efforts are awesome. Take note.
JKT48 is the newest, freshest idol group. They are the official sister group of AKB48, the number one idol group in Japan. JKT48 performs in theater concerts, TV concerts, etc. It's well-known that JKT48 are all good singers. They are the best singers in the entire 48 family. Recently, JKT48 held a "Mega Concert," which received a big response not only in Indonesia but also in Japan. Japan is the home of idols, but the Japanese were surprised by JKT48's big ability. Soon, JKT48 will surpass all rivals and even some of their elder sisters.
Exo is a South Korean-Chinese boy group based in Seoul. Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2011, the group debuted in 2012 with twelve members separated into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M, performing music in Korean and Mandarin, respectively. Each and every member of EXO is flawless. They operate at a different level. What is most intriguing about them is their love, friendship, and support for each of their members. They are "sarang."
EXO deserves to be in first place. I'm Asian, and I don't know how such a popular boy band ended up in the top 14 while an unknown singer got first place! Something must be wrong with the votes, I guess.
They are a great group. Even though they are just rookies, they already have millions of fans! Other rookie groups don't have that! Laugh out loud.
AKB48 is the best girl group in this generation. This idol group has been criticized by so many, like being presented as imperfect in everything: ugly, talentless, etc. But that is what a real idol is. They don't present themselves as perfect. Instead, they show their imperfections. They started their idol careers as amateurs and beginners in everything, and little by little, they get better and better until they become National Idols. Time and time again, they prove everyone criticizing them wrong. I think that is what everyone should follow. Be true to yourself. You don't need to have plastic surgery to be beautiful. Don't give up and believe in yourself more until you reach your dreams.

Fatin Shidqia Lubis, better known as Fatin Shidqia or Fatin, is an Indonesian singer and actress who won the first season of the Indonesian version of The X Factor in May 2013. The uniqueness of his voice can hypnotize people and soothe restless hearts. You will only find singers with a voice character like his every 100 years.
She is so blessed as she has a naturally born voice that sounds like Brenda Lee. Although she didn't receive any vocal training or courses before, she was able to hypnotize millions of viewers, both Indonesian and foreigners, through her appearances on YouTube. Moreover, she is well-known as low-profile, friendly to her fans, and devout, as shown by wearing a hijab, making her personality and appearance captivate not only teenagers' hearts but also those of adults and even older people. She truly has the X Factor!
Big Bang is a South Korean boy band formed by YG Entertainment. The group consists of 4 members: G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, and Daesung. I love their music. It always brightens up my day. They are also very handsome. If I had to choose a favorite member, I couldn't. It would be all of them. They are all great singers, and I love the way their music is so new and different. I think that everyone should get to hear their music. It's so good to me. Wherever I go, I am always thinking about Big Bang. They are always on my mind. If it were up to me, I would put them at number one, just like their song.
The reason Big Bang is the best pop artist is that they show strong friendship among the members. They trust each other and overcome their conflicts and obstacles together. They show us what true cooperation means by understanding each other and withstanding hardships together.
Kim Hyun-Joong (Korean: 김현중. Hanja: 金賢重. Born June 6, 1986) is a South Korean entertainer, actor, singer, songwriter, and dancer. He is the leader and main rapper of the boy band SS501.
Kim Hyun-Joong has also played roles in the Korean dramas Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss. He has a beautiful voice and a perfect face.
He is the best multi-talented human.
This place is not for Kim Hyun Joong. He deserves to be number one. The future will show what a great star he is!
BoA Kwon is a singer born in Korea that became popular in Asia. She is known for singing in many languages, including Korean, English, and Japanese. She also is a professional dancer, as well as performer. This woman is the single most important reason the Hallyu Wave even exists. She was the first non-Japanese person to crack the Oricon charts, a breakout wonder on the Billboard dance charts in the U.S., and an inspiration to almost all the acts on this list for getting into entertainment in the first place. Best of Asia, simply BoA.
The fact that she's not at number one is a travesty. This woman is the reason people outside of Asia have become interested in this music. No one, and I mean no one, has had the impact on not only the Asian market, but also the world market that BoA has.
She is simply the greatest performer still living. All of the accolades that the rest of this list has received have either been down paths she created or because she was busy elsewhere when they won (hear that, Agnezmo?).
Best of Asia, BoA.
Shinee is a South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2008. The group is composed of four members: Onew, Key, Minho, and Taemin. Originally a five-piece group, vocalist Jonghyun died in December 2017. All SHINee members are great, not just one. They all have unique personalities that fit with each other, and they can come together as one, not five. Haha! Onew and his love for chicken, Key with his fashion sense, Jonghyun with his cute jokes, Minho with his flaming charisma, and our maknae Taemin who makes cute mistakes but captures your heart with his manly dances.
They are such an amazing group, and I can keep going on forever as to why - with their heartwarming smiles and top performances. They truly deserve the name CDNee because they can beat any MR recording. SHINee is just DAEBAK!
Jake Zyrus (born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, formerly known by the mononym Charice), is a Filipino singer who rose to popularity through YouTube. He is a transgender man. Charice is one of the best singers, if not the best, in the world today. She's so versatile that she can sing any song, regardless of its genre. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as the "Most Talented Girl in the World", her first international studio album, "Charice", released in 2010, entered the Billboard 200 at number eight. This made Charice the first Asian singer in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart. Her single "Pyramid", which featured singer Iyaz, charted within the top 40 in a number of countries.
She's also one of the cast members of one of the most popular TV series in the world, "Glee", as Sunshine Corazon. There's no doubt Charice is the best Asian pop artist.
Cherrybelle is undoubtedly the best and most famous girl band in Indonesia. Apart from their beauty and talent, factors like hard work, kindness, friendliness, and humility towards their fans, among others, have quickly made them prominent in the Indonesian music industry. They have constantly faced unjustified and unreasonable criticism from haters, but they can thrive under pressure and rise above hate.
The way they respond to those critics is very simple: by winning trophy after trophy. I am sure someday they will realize their dream of breaking into the international music industry. Go Chibi, you are the best. You can do it!

2PM is just perfect. They are six awesome 'beasts' who are also cute at the same time. They can dance, and they have awesome voices. I never get tired of their music. They deserve this.
I love 2PM, and I'm a Hottest. They're multi-talented! Junsu, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, Chansung! Their voices, dances, songs, and performances are all very amazing! Daebak!
I LOVE 2PM! They are hot. They are the best singers, rappers, dancers, and artists!

She is a member of South Korean girl group Girls' Generation and has participated in various television dramas such as You Are My Destiny, Cinderella Man, Love Rain, Prime Minister and I, and God of War, Zhao Yun. SNSD's most beautiful woman in the world also has a very nice face. You too! I love you, Yoona!
Blink is an amazing girl band in Indonesia for me. I like their performances, their skills, their songs, and their voices are really good. I like Ify Blink because she is so perfect for me. She has created two songs titled "Andaikan" and "Blinking".
My friend asked me, "Why do you really like Blink?" I like them because they have good voices and performances, and they can act on TV. I always watch Blink on TV. They often cover popular songs such as "Firework" and "What Makes You Beautiful", among many others. I just like the girl band of Indonesia, Blink. We will always support you guys.
Well, I don't know her very well, but as I've watched her interviews and other content, she seems to have a good personality and is such a funny girl. I often laugh when I watch her acts on TV.
She also has quite a good voice, and her pitch is well-controlled in almost all her performances, which gives her extra points compared to other singers. What a great idol!
I am really proud to be a Shilla Fever, also known as Shivers. Ashilla Zahrantiara is our inspiration. She's beautiful, unique, funny, kind, friendly, lovely, talented, awesome, and sometimes absurd.
Multi-talented? Yes, she is! She can be an actress, singer, fashion model, guitarist, bassist, and also pianist. That's why Shivers love Ashilla Zahrantiara so much!
Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo aka Sarah Geronimo or Sarah G. is a world class and multi-talented Filipino singer, actress, dancer, record producer, model, host, coach/judge, commercial/product endorser and tv personality . She can also draw and plays the piano. Sarah is popularly known as the one and only... read more Talent shines through a person who stays humble, and Sarah Geronimo possesses this. Charice owes her singing to the Philippine Pop Star Princess, SG. Charice would have been an ordinary singer if Sarah had not first existed. Sarah Geronimo is very unique and original, unlike Charice, who keeps imitating other international singers. Asia is known to be good at various prospects, and Sarah proves it. She deserves the post as the best Asian Pop Artist.
She's one of the best not only in the Philippines but also in Asia. She's an all-around entertainer. She can sing, dance, and rap. She can perform any genre - pop, jazz, R&B, hip-hop.
See all her performances on YouTube, and you'll be blown away by this young lady. Fierce is the name of her game. She has also been tagged as the Philippines' Beyoncé. Kudos to Sarah.
"I want to be able to excite people, put a smile on their faces, and also make people say, 'Oh, this is interesting.'"
"Music is something which I cannot live without" is something I said before my debut, but it still holds true now. Even if I get lost, music teaches me a lot and saves me. I think that's what kept me going, guiding me. -YUI-
"Something that I want to transmit through my songs is to make people happy and spirited when listening to my music." (Hot Express 2011)
That's the reason why I like YUI.
YUI is pure talent. She can really sing. If you don't know her yet, I recommend you watch her live performances. She can always pull off a great performance simply with her sweet, soft, and amazing voice. Plus, she plays the guitar hardcore!
For first-timers, I recommend you listen to Rolling Star and Summer Song. She has a lot of good songs for different genres or moods. YUI indeed is one of Asia's remarkable talents. She is the best!
Each member of JYJ deserves to be on this list as a solo artist, but together they move from exceptional to sublime. Their voices complement each other like no other group out there, and their songwriting skills will only improve. While many others on this list have left the direction of their careers to the command of their management companies, JYJ is creating their own path and forging relationships not just with fans in Asia, but with the world.
Their talent and success are not only in music. They are so brave to fight for their freedom in their career path. They are not just an idol group. They are actually professional artists in all aspects.
Whether they are engaged in group activities or solo activities, the three of them still manage to attract the public's attention and recognition. They are the best!
