At present, the K-pop music genre has turned out to be one of the most popular music genres to date. The K-pop industry has been producing top-quality K-pop artists and due to this, K-pop songs have been more in demand all over the world.

In every part of the world, K-pop, as a music genre, has made such an impact that it has become its own brand, and just recently, one of the top countries that are considered one of the highest consumers of K-pop started a poll and revealed the country's 2021's top K-pop boy groups.

One of the largest consumers of K-pop, the country of Japan, has been an avid supporter and listener of K-pop since the very beginning. This has been incredibly prevalent as most popular K-pop groups release special Japanese versions of their hit tracks and even learn the Japanese language to communicate with fans from the country.

This is how large the K-pop industry is in Japan. At times, Japanese releases such as special albums or singles are dropped to cater to the Japanese market. Notably, a lot of popular K-pop artists are also Japanese or Half-Japanese.

Recently, a popular polling site started a poll to find out which K-pop boy groups Japan considers as the best, for the first half of 2021. After the votes were cast and counted, here are Japan's picks for the top K-pop boy groups for the first half of 2021:
