K-pop Face Off: T.O.P vs Bang Yongguk

Oh no you didn't! Oh yes I did! We're facing off a veteran and a rookie and seeing who is the most idol-irific of them all!

Big Bang's T.O.P is well on his way to becoming a K-pop legend and icon if he isn't already. Before he was a big idol star with Big Bang, the boy was passionate about rap and hip hop. He was an underground rapper known as Tempo before he was signed with YG Entertainment. Well known for his low-bass timbre rapping, as quoted by Billboard magazine's Jeff Benjamin, T.O.P is loved and admired for his deep and sexy voice. There's been no one in K-pop idol who has the type of charisma and voice like everyone's favorite rapper. In addition to his success in the group, he's released album with fellow member, G-Dragon for an album entitled "GD & TOP." They released three singles, "High High," "Oh Yeah," and "Knock Out," which all topped the charts. On top of him being a huge idol, he's found much success in the world of acting in both films and dramas including "I Am Sam," "Iris," Nineteen,71:Into the Fire," and his upcoming movie, "Alumni."

B.A.P's Bang Yongguk is still proving his worth as a rookie rapper but no one can deny the group's fast growing fame and success. The boys are shooting up the charts and winning the hearts of fangirls everywhere. But before leader Bang Yongguk popped out onto the scene, he was part of an underground hip hop group called "Soul Connection" and used the stage name "Jepp Blackman" and even released a single called "Cherry Flower." Yongguk is what I like to call a real artist because he truly loves the art-form and music itself. He's said that his goal wasn't ever to become an idol star but seeing Dynamic Duo do their thing for hip-hop in pop music inspired him to do the same and "contribute to the genre's development." He's also a song-writer and has composed all of B.A.P's songs in their debut album, "Warrior." Similar to sunbae T.O.P, Yongguk is known for his deep, sultry and sexy rapping voice. He's got the potential to be as big as T.O.P and the sound to become one of the hottest idol rappers around.

So what do you all think? Who wins this K-pop face off?
