In the first sentence, "below" is being used as an adjective, telling us about the bar graph.http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/arts/writcent/hypergrammar/adjectve.html
You can write it as you have in the second version, but that sentence is considered "wordy." (Too many words to say something simpler.) The first sentence is better.

e.g. The bar graph below shows the TV viewing habits of Koreans.
In this sentence, what is the part of speech of 'below'?
Can we write like this?: The bar graph which is below shows the TV viewing habits of Koreans.
