Gallup Korea has released the results of its Person of the Year year-end survey for 2022 to pick the Korean singers and songs that shone brightly.
The survey was conducted among 5,302 respondents in Korea composed of 2,511 people aged 13 to 39 and 2,791 people aged at least 40 years old. It was done in three periods this year: July 22 to Aug. 9, Sept. 23 to Oct. 19, and Nov. 7 to 24.
