Keep - the group is relevant in Korea as they have charted on Korea's national chart (proof here) and have been nominated for a major award (the Mnet Asian Music Awards, equivalent to about the MTV Awards for Korea) as Best New Male Artist (proof here). They've also been the subject of a TV show but I can't find any reliable sources for that. ²¹nolja 00:35, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Teen Top was awarded the Rookie of the Month award in August of last year by the Ministry of Culture and Korea Contents Association. Unfortunately, the source is in Korean, so I apologize. They were also part of the Top 20 Trending topics on Twitter at one point, and part of an article that recognized them as the next "hot topic." The original article is here with an approximate translation here. Suicidethrone (talk) 11:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
