“Tarantallegra” of JYJ’s Jun Su has recently been selected as the best K-pop song of 2012.
K-pop news site K-pop Starz did a survey about the best K-pop song of 2012 from October 21 to 31. As a result, “Tarantallegra” received 28.33 percent of all votes and ranked first.
“Tarantallegra” is a song written by Jun Su. Jun Su’s strong look, the song’s distinctive choreography, and the unconventional music video of the song attracted a lot of attention.
“Tarantallegra” has also topped the charts all over the world. It ranked first on the iTunes Chart in Japan, the Tower Records Chart, the Asian Music Chart in Germany, and ETC-TV Pop Chart in Chile and tenth on the Billboard World Albums Chart.
After releasing the first solo album, he went on a world tour. As the first Korean solo singer, he toured six cities in Asia and five cities in North and South America. He will now go on a tour of Europe.
The first concert of Jun Su’s tour of Europe will be held at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany, on November 30.
I continue to be fascinated by Junsu’s performance in this video! I just got my Xia 1st solo Concert DVD, so now I can watch it and more whenever I like\(*^*)/!!!
@xiahspeal12- “I just got my Xia 1st solo Concert DVD, so now I can watch it and more whenever I like\(*^*)/!!! ”
must admit this Junsu gave a great stage performance , so enchanting ^^
He shares it is blissful to have daily 6 hours to sleep nowadays.
Which those old days can’t even fantasy for ><
those killing working schedules…. forever solid evidences of how evil SM has been on JYJ.
Really, I am so PROUD of him!! He has been through so many obstacles, and he continues to strive!!! Well done!! and to all JYJers thank you for making this happen!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
JYJ.FOREVER.
the best K-pop song of 2012 but couldn’t perform in any music program???
Such an unfair news!!!
Anyway, congrats, Junsuuuuuuuuu… My baby surely the best singer in Korea!!!!!!!!!
yeah,agree with you!! but i’m happy coz “they”(the one who i cannot mention here) still in 2nd place!!
This was a breathtaking poll, there was an element of thrill and challenge,
and looking all those songs following him made almost all JYJ Fans to vote diligently!
@kris
Yes, you’re right. I didn’t realise that the 3 following artists were from the same agency. I only noticed the second place trying to catch up when I was voting for Junsu. Kekeke actually I didn’t even see the others. I only have eyes for JYJ.
Anyway, yay for everyone who voted. We did it again.
@Michelle
It’s not only 3 but 4 🙂
Whenever JYJ tops a poll, individually or as a group, I want to say ” in your face” to all those people who are conniving in banning and blocking JYJ … (I know I’m bad! 🙂 )
@kris
Even the female group! My goodness..
Talking about overrated ‘artists’ and ‘singers’!
This makes Junsu’s win even more meaningful. And one more thing. I’m joining you as bad.
@Michelle @kris
I’m in with you girls. WHAT A SWEET REVENGE IS THIS…XDDDDD
@Michelle @sempoi
🙂 🙂 🙂
The four artists after Junsu are All from SaMe company…the irony! Love it!

UNLIMITED voting
I have been voting at these two sites and I saw how the votes for two individuals from SM shoot up so suddenly and to such extents. Clearly the agency’s staff had been busy!
I wouldn’t be surprised if their staff had been busy on this BEST K-pop Song voting as well.
But,….. how ever hard they tried, our Junsu got NO.1 !!!!!
“Tarantallegra” of JYJ’s Junsu is worth enough to get highest rating result !!!
Not only this song is good , all other songs in the album are also great !!!
Junsu’s angel voice can made me feel drunk as like affected by alcohol ^^
Please try to listen , you must fall in love with Junsu after listened his album !!
Me too ^^
V@_^V
Yay! I voted 10 times! Junsu’s “Tarantallegra” is definitely the best song of the year!
Reblogged this on JYJ's Fan Worlds and commented:
congratulation Junsu-ah
I do not understand why this song/album is so underrated….except for the true fans who search for it. This song/album is awesome! Maybe because Junsu is not able to promote properly. Just imagine if he was on a level ‘playing field’…Number ONE is well deserved!
I love EVERY SINGLE song in this album!!!
Promotion is everything for a singer. If they can’t promote, those who are not their fans, won’t know about the album. We know, because we know even when they go to see the dentist really… 😀 But those who don’t know about the album because of the lack of promotion won’t look for it. You can’t look for something you don’t even know it exists. They *need* that airing time SM took from them with their manipulations. If they can’t promote for long, people will forget about them. Not us, the die-hard fans who do anything they can to keep the boys on top, but ordinary listeners. Just like the fans of old groups. There are still fans of Queen around, or Bee Gees, or any of the great groups from the 90’s but it’s not the same anymore. That’s what awaits Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun too if they can’t get back the right to promote freely on TV and radio.
I agree with you, that’s why most of the new JYJ Fans are through their dramas, not through their music since JYJ music is like hidden in a box only enjoyed by fans. Sometimes I watched at MTV or V-Channel Kpop specials waiting either JYJ or Xiah’s recent release to be played but I was never been lucky to see it. I think The Beginning period was better because there were several times I saw Ayyy Girl in those international music channels. That’s why though I like them most as singers but now, I fully understand why they are diversifying, concentrating as actors, they need to stay relevant and gather new batches of fans, besides they need to maintain a healthy balance sheets to be financially stable since making JYJ music costs them a lot because not so may people are willing to work/sponsor them as singers.
I want to strangle SM! They are the pits!
Congrats Junsu you totally deserve this recognition as having the best song of the year!!!!!! I voted so many times and I am glad it paid off. I cannot even to this day get enough of listening to Tarantallegra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This song is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Heck all the songs on his album is amazing and I listen to them non stop!!!!!!!! I am extra proud because despite him not being able to promote like others Junsu still gets this recognition!!!!!!!
congrats Junsu =)
Congrats Junsu ah! Tarantallegra is a catchy song and the MV is impressive and different. The song as well as the solo album show his growth as an solo artist.
This is the second time on kpopstarz site. Last time it was Jaejoongie for the best kpop artist of the first half of 2012 and now it’s Jun-chan. Our boys started with much lesser number of votes but came out winning in the end. If we’re determined enough, we can put JYJ on top of every poll. 🙂
Awesome!
As expected of JYJ member. Junsu, hwaiting!
Hooray!! Fans from all countries summoned all strength to voted for JUNSU. ^^
Congratulation! Achieved tenth on the Billboard World Albums Chart is glorious.
consider PSY hyung overwhelming promotion and huge click on YT, he ranks #2
(Nothing offensive to YG PSY, who is hyung of JYJ )
Xia as a solo singer, fierce battled with top 5 ( well financed groups from SM ) ,
this winning is a conscientious , justice vote from fans.
For me, I am triggered by the Para Game after effect.
Thanks for Junsu’s genie time, 3 wishes for us,
now we return more than 3 gifts to you ^^

And let’s keep track of yinyuetai, fans observed that after SM, avex paid to this portal to work together, JYJ related pages have been sharply cut down to 60% left. Many featured MV, inbox news are now replaced with SM priority.
This portal needs supervision now.

=D
GLAD I VOTED FOR THIS SONG, SANG BY THIS SUPER TALENTED GUY..he totally deserve this..waiting for the interview from kpopstarz.
Reblogged this on luminarytriad.
One thing to note… for many of us who voted it was LESS about “revenge voting” and MORE about acknowledging the truth that…
Xia Tarantellegra IS a great album and MV filled with great music created by a truly talented artist Kim Junsu!
Truth is most times these polls are just about “get your oppa to the top of the list” even though he/she has achieved nothing worthwhile musically during 2012. This time I felt proud and had a real reason to vote because Junsu delivered an awesome product worthy of our praise and admiration. And that speaks volumes because that’s how it should be.

Junsu is definitely a rare talent..I listen to his tarantallegra album back to back on my lonely 400 km drive to my hometown every weekend and it keeps me wide awake..pity he is not able to appear on the mainstream media..many people are missing out..
