TVXQ and Big Bang each earned two votes, coming in at a tie in third place.  Won Jin Sung stated, "TVXQ has small faces with unique features and have looks that are very appealing to the public.  As for Big Bang, they have masculine face lines and know where their strengths and weaknesses lie in, which shows through their fashion sense."

On Choi Siwon topping individual member rankings, Park Sang Hoon revealed, "Super Junior's average age has now entered their late 20's, but the more they age, the more masculine they're becoming."
