Idol singers continue to reign?
Of course, there will be many idol singers’ comeback in 2010. Already, we know about upcoming comebacks for 2AM, 2NE1, KARA, So Nyeo Shi Dae etc. These idols will follow up with the great popularity they received from their mini or full-length albums released in 2009.
