Call it the flower boy effect, but the special performance featuring a few pretty boy idol stars was the most-watched minute on the December 29 broadcast of the 2012 KBS Music Festival.

The Idol Superband's performance, featuring some of the hottest male idol stars, proved to be the highlight of the show, recording a 16.6 percent viewership rating, according to viewership ratings research company TNmS.

With 2AM's Jin Woon and Infinite's L on guitar, B1A4's Jin Young on bass, CN Blue's Kang Min Hyuk on drums, SHINee's Taemin on the keyboard and SHINee's Jong Hyun, 2AM's Chang Min and B2ST's Yang Yo Seop in charge of the vocals, the soaring numbers come as no surprise.
