Guess who's back back back again! Welcome to the official K-PopJustice Forum Reader's Poll 2021 Edition. It's been an exciting year for K-Pop with dozens of long-awaited comebacks for forum darlings, such as TWICE, Japanese TWICE, Girls in STEM TWICE, and Xmas TWICE! No, but forreal! We finally got those elusive Red Velvet, Laboum, Weki Meki, and T-ARA comebacks. Even the Blackjacks got fed a little bit this year. It wasn't really edible but never turn down a free meal, ladies. Otherwise, some artists delivered some of their best material ever. All the TWICE releases? Smash. The Chung Ha album? Smash! Key's solo debut? Smash! WJSN? Smash! Even Mamamoo and Hwa Sa ate a little... 2021 also saw the debuts of some very exciting and promising 4th gen acts: Purple Kiss, Billlie, PIXY, TRI.BE, and IVE will all be ones to watch. And I'm sure some of the new boys killed it too. Now, before you ask, this crept up on us so fast that we forgot to renew our license for hosting this official spin-off from LVB x RJF Productions™ for a second year. Our lawyers have instructed us to inform you that therefore any of the categories listed below are only hypothetical in nature. And us receiving an inbox with your answers to then infer data and reveal it later is only hypothetical too. Got it?

This is essentially an improved K-Pop tailored version of the front page's poll which used to be ran by Peter. All you simply have to do is send us a ballot with the categories provided below. DO I HAVE TO VOTE FOR EVERYTHING? No! Just vote for the categories you're interested in, although we'd highly recommend you vote in every category to maximize mess. WHEN ARE VOTES DUE? The current deadline is 27th of December. That is two weeks from today! There may be a small extension, but we cannot guarantee it. HOW DO I VOTE? Just send the ballot with your entries to ALL of your hosts (@thommyh, @aux, and @BEST FICTION). Below is a handy PM'able version of the ballot, formatted to make this as easy as possible for the hosts. SPECIAL NOTE FOR VOTING: Due to last year's ballots with tallying votes getting out of control fff, we will ONLY ACCEPT the answer you list first for a category. For example, if the category is "Best Comeback" and you say: "hmm.. tough choice! it's either Boyfriend by Cignature OR it's DA DA DA by LUNARSOLAR; I'll vote for both!" we will only award a point to 'Boyfriend - Cignature'. This is to make everything feel a little more impactful and smoother, so follow your heart! Reminder: you may change any of your answers later.

Heyyy I was actually just reading the previous KPJ Poll thread like two hours ago and got my life ffffffffffff
Having to deal with ONF stans spending the whole year spamming the sub-forum with three paragraph posts about how amazing they are only for the Most Annoying Fanbase category to be removed?
fff when ONF at best have 3 stans on the entire subforum and we only talk about them when they have a comeback (granted, they did have 4 comebacks this year dd)? But I’d be pressed too if my faves only had a single comeback and it was whatever scraps Ry*n S J*un had lying in his recycling bin. What a shame indeed that the category got removed because I know Orbits deserved to win that one.
Yay didn’t miss the first page! Ready for ONF to win Most Improved Artist and for people to complain that they were already good, just like GFriend last year!
New category: most likely to get needlessly tagged in every essay praising ONF in 2022 Vote: @soratami
The sexy categories might have been removed, but at least Wonho can still show up in Messiest Moments for accidentally showing his nuts on V-Live!
