A hearty majority of the total 22.2 million votes, a whopping 57 percent, still came from China. 26 percent came from Southeast Asia while Korea, Japan and the U.S. followed with single digit percentages.
49 percent of the many, many votes from China were in support of Shinhwa![ext]()

The support for TVXQ (DBSK)![ext]()
from 52 percent of Japan votes also served to prove the group′s influence in the country.
Male voters still made up a huge percentage of the votes from each country, with votes from males in China remaining higher at 6.5 million than the 6.2 million from females in the country.
