Hello.

We are today's M Countdown

special MCs, B1A4.

It's a real honor for us to be

special M Countdown MCs.

I can't express in words how we feel right now.

We feel like we're flying.

It's true.

There are some more people who feel like they're flying today.

It's the immensely popular

December week 2 top 10!

And this week's No. 1 candidates.

Let's find out who they are.

December week 2 top 10.

Primary.

Out of these, our two No. 1 candidates:

Yang Yo-seob, Lee Seung-ki.

We will now begin voting to choose this week's number 1.

I apologize.

December week 2's battle

is between male soloists.

He won the last 2 weeks, and

is going for his triple crown today,

Lee Seung-ki.

And dreaming of his first debut number 1,

Yang Yo-seob.

Personally, I'm cheering for Yang Yo-seob.

He was known as the

cute guy in his group.

1+1, cutie!

2+2, cutie!

Sorry.

Anyway, he's a good friend.

I'm supporting Lee Seung-ki.

I think he's got cooler

since his comeback.

Shall we make a text vote

for the one we each support?

If you're a citizen, you should vote.

If you're a music fan, you should vote on M Countdown.

Everyone should text in the name

of their favorite candidate.

Repeat voting isn't allowed.

And you should also pay

attention to the battle for No. 1.

Yes, that's right.

Today's M Countdown will settle the accounts of music in 2012.

We'll see the main players

in this year's music world soon.

First, we'll see A-JAX.

2MyX

The 2012 music world is split into

before and after Gangnam Style.

The winner of awards at MAMA.

Beating 10 groups, the top-dog, Psy!

I think I'll never forget this year.

The year 2012 saw Psy proving

his strength as a solo artist.

Sweeping the digital charts, K. Will.

All of Naul's songs dominated all of the charts.

Returning to his true calling

as a singer, Lee Seung-ki.

I've got to do my best to be the music emperor.

And making them all nervous,

a skilled new solo female arrived!

2012 MAMA, Best New Female,

the winner is Ailee.

I got the newcomer award!

Here is her new song.

One of the special points

of music in this year has been

the debut of a lot of idol groups, like Big Star.

There are a lot of active idol groups this year,

so to make them easy to remember,

they're being given nicknames.

That's right.

For example, B1A4, whose members

are from cities around the country

are being called regional idols.

So San-deul, could you please

introduce the next performers

using your native Busan dialect?

My Busan dialect?

Yep.

Alright.

The guys we're about to see

are really great singers.

continuing Seeya's trend.

The Seeya.

Speaking of vocal idols, we

can't forget Davichi's Hye-ri,

so look forward to it.

The Seeya's Poison.

Out of 100 candidates, Yang Yo-seob

joined B2ST with Yong Hyung-jun.

2 weeks at No. 1.

2 weeks at No. 1, and trying

to stay there, Lee Seung-ki.

Here's both their vote situations.

Yang Yo-seob is ahead by

10% in album sales.

However, leading by 30%

in age group preference,

Lee Seung-ki is in front.

And in global music fan votes that takes 5% of the total score

Yang Yo-seob is in a slight lead.

However, with half of

the digital sales score,

Lee Seung-ki is ahead,

but on very thin ice at the moment.

The contest is just as exciting

as the contest for the elections.

Yang Yo-seop against Lee Seung-ki.

The total voting result will be

revealed at the end of the show.

December week 2 M Countdown,

more exciting than the elections!

Just like a vote analysis show,

digital sales, album sales,

and age preference from 15 to 39

have all been taken into account

to see who is ahead at the moment.

Shall we now look to see

how the mobile votes are going?

Yang Yo-seob has 76.5%,

and Lee Seung-ki has 23.5%,

so Yang Yo-seob leads right now.

But there's lots of time left.

Lee Seung-ki fans, please

send your vote in now.
