1. [+9254, -443] You're really telling me CL's first???
2. [+7980, -430] ?? I can't comprehend this. Is her public recognition in the U.S. to that level?
3. [+6811, -591] Laughing at this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+4812, -373] Um...? Is this for real? Well, first of all, congratulations.
5. [+3486, -223] If it's a tie with Putin...
6. [+765, -45] Rain topped Time's online poll before too... ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The ranking doesn't have much meaning to it...
7. [+707, -61] I wonder what authority this poll has at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's a difficult choice to come to even if a panel of experts came together and discussed it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wonder if the reporter wrote this article sarcastically
8. [+680, -80] She's not even like that in our country so what do you mean she topped worldwide?... ㅋㅋㅋ
9. [+651, -73] Most influential person in the world? Out of those 100 people??? CL??? Pfft ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ CL must be embarrassed herself since her fans got her in that position ㅋㅋㅋ
10. [+547, -32] You know what I find funnier, the fact that Eunhyuk is 6th place on a world rank of rappers
11. [+541, -57] 'Fans' compete with each other when the artist they support is involved in a poll. They post and share links of it to fan cafes and they feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when their artist receives a lot of votes. The fact that CL has been chosen as a nominee for TIME 100 in itself is an amazing feat. However, the action of going onto a link to swarm like bees and spam vote just to raise the rank irregardless of the purpose of the poll is a wrong way of supporting. Another thing is that 'fans' seem to be misunderstanding that the negative comments are hating on CL but it's not that. CL being a talented artist is working hard to appeal to the public but the target of the general public's negative comments is not her but the fans' actions themselves.

I think this person pretty much explains everything what I'm feeling.
Can anyone explain to me how this works. Does this thing solely depend on the online polls? I've always hated anything that solely depends on votes because fans are extremely biased so obviously they'll vote for their faves no matter what. If it's solely on judges, they need to really have a wide knowledge on the people. I don't really know what to think of this poll. I think I would rather have CL get on top with not just the help from fans.
The poll is the reader's choice. It's not even the official list of the winning 100 people. My god, let's just add some sugar to the table, shall we? It's not the fans who asked time to nominate CL in the first place.

I kind of feel the same way. At the same time I'm proud and at the same time there are other people on the list that I consider a lot more influential than CL for sure.
the poll CL is on is simply just a poll, it doesn't have any serious merit. the TIME100 list is already complete with people who were chosen by a panel. if CL gets added to the final list would still be up to consideration and she will not be number 1 on the list that appears on the magazine. to be honest, this poll is useless, and CL and fans should not use it as a bragging right ever! it helped her get her name out there but it is not an indication of her popularity or her success.
This poll was just way to hype the public, but it's completely separate from the real, official list that TIME will put out on April 16th. So no one needs to worry that CL won over more "deserving" candidates. Blackjacks simply wanted to use this surprise nomination opportunity to get her name out there. Guess it worked.
well the main thing fans want (atleast i'd think) isn't whether she's #1 or deserves it or whatever but the exposure
wait what's the point of this poll? lol I'm so confused. I've been in and out of twitter so I don't know all the deets. I was so happy she got nominated, but then I saw it was a poll so I got confused
It's just a poll, doesn't determine the real list. But the fact that those Koreans downgrade her and calling her fans delulus is so upsetting. If she was from my country and she gets nominated, or even won the poll, I'd be freaking proud. And y'all acting like Blackjacks are the only ones who do these kinds of things. If your bias is nominated too, I bet my ass y'all gonna vote like crazy too. Don't be such a hypocrite.
blackjacks voted so hard for this and I didn't understand....... it's just a readers' poll, it might influence but definitely not determine the final list- - it's good we support her but i swear sometimes we waste our effort on things like this, and we didnt even do enough for their last comeback imo...
for the exposure
ahhhhhh ok I get it now. So this doesn't do anything for the actual final list
It's like a Publicity stunt to get CL name out there for those who're curious who's this chic topping the TIME100 poll. Blackjacks voted in hope that it will help CL's name more known. That's it! I've not seen BJs bragging about this.
The poll has no relation with the actual TIME100 list tho.
Last time Rain topped the poll TWICE so yeah
to much butthurt knetz.. if one of our country celebrity is nominated i will be proud since this is U.S. recognition for his/her hardwork....knetz should be proud that one of ur celebrity competing other famous people why hate just support.. this poll is for fun and appreciation... ii think i smell jealousy...if u dont care about this poll just shot ur mouth and be succesful for ur own good..knetz to much jealousy is not good to ur heart..hahaha
One of the editors of Time. - “As much as this exercise chronicles the achievements of the past year, we also focus on figures whose influence is likely to grow, so we can look around the corner to see what is coming.”
Anyway it was a reader's choice award. Time will have their own list and CL may or may not be on there. Definitely not number one. The pressed can chill.
The credentials they presented about her were mostly her achievements with her group, 2NE1, and not as a solo artist. I can not say much for Rain as he was already an established solo artist when he was nominated in the same poll but CL does not even have a solo album to her name. Her digital singles were of moderate success and not even a music that you can argue created a dent on the K-Pop landscape. If it did, and I missed out on it, that accolade should be given to Teddy as he created it. If they would rather give it to a performer, there's no Korean music artist more worthy of that nomination than Psy. This was clearly a publicity stunt and as such-it backfired. What it has achieved is turned CL into a caricature of herself. Her own countrymen take her for a joke. Consumers, nowadays, are a clever lot. They have access to all the information they need. Good or bad. Let them decide for themselves what they want or not want. Let's not shortcut the process.
Anyway it proves that CL has a lot of fans.
Time nominated some people who have the potential to be more influential in the future.
still achievement even she earn it with her 2ne1 member the point is why hate the person who doesn't do anything bad about ur country. TIME is the one who include her in the poll coz they see her as one of the best in kpop..that's why more people in korea is not happy with there life even they are already successful. because there so many people who is so judge mental.. why questioning there categories of choosing what they want to include in the poll..is U.S. poll if u don't like her just don't vote.. why taking it to serious as if it will change ur life..
this poll list was made by TIME people..the way I see it, it's like a tool to gauge the 'influence' the people on the list have but the final results isn't necessarily THE final TIME100 list they publish in their magazine..
the people who do the FINAL TIME100 still undergoes various processes to determine the final list..
what blackjacks and gzbz are proud off is the fact that her nomination was unexepected(?) because the other people in the list are super high profile like Putin, Beyonce, Obama, the Dalai Lama..she's the 3rd korean nominated after Rain and Psy..soo a fans pride is boosted (right?)
**Bottom line is if a person has a loyal social clout, s/he will prove victorious in an online poll..so most voted 'because she's CL a kpop star', while the rest voted because they truly believe they were influenced by her in some ways..
p.s there's no hate in what I said..I actually follow her and I am infulenced by 2NE1..pls don't misunderstand =D

CL appeals to us niche group of fans, so just be happy for us and shut up.
8. [+680, -80] She's not even like that in our country so what do you mean she topped worldwide?... ㅋㅋㅋ
shit like this pisses me off, just because you guys arnt as acccepting and dont really like her as much, it doesnt mean that we dont like her. Dont worry the international fans will look after you Chaerin -_-
Why couldn't you just you know ? Congratulate her and then do some actual research before jumping with the hate ? At least with some decent researching, y'all wouldn't look like some pressed ignorant bitches. This is just an online vote not an actual list of the Time Magazine. Duh bitches, stay pressed. She got nominated, and you want us fans to sit here and be like all depressed like you are all mf's behind your computer ? No fuck that shit, im going to vote for her
