8th – Ong Sung Woo
Ong Sung Woo of Fantagio Entertainment made the list for his unlimited potential. He can be serious when need be, but fierce on stage and comical off stage.

5th – Bae Jin Young
C9 Bae Jin Young‘s appealing visuals and surprising levels of improvement placed him at the top half of the list. Starting from his “deep dark” image to the 180 change into an “aegyo-bot”, he improved as an idol in multiple ways.
4th – Park Ji Hoon
Park Ji Hoon of Maroo Entertainment made the top 11 ever since his famous wink on day one. His remarkable dancing skills and ability to create the cutest phrases confirmed it farther.

Curious who just missed the cut?
12th – Kang Dong Ho
Pledis Entertainment’s Kang Dong Ho just missed the cut! He won the public’s affection with his beastly sexiness and elegant vocals, but was just cut from the list solely due too “the lack of rappers”.
