From April 2nd to 8th, TenAsia conducted a poll asking, 'Which female singer would you like to share an umbrella with on a rainy day?' Wendy emerged as the winner. Recently, a post on social media went viral showing Wendy attending a fan's wedding, whom she has known since her debut, and singing a congratulatory song. The fan reportedly has been supporting Red Velvet since her high school senior year. At the wedding, Wendy shared, "I debuted on August 14, 2014, and that's when I first met her. The bride was a senior in high school back then. It's already been 11 and a half years." She added, "One day, she asked if I could sing at her wedding in the future, and I said, 'Of course, I would for you,'" adding a heartwarming touch to the event.
In second place was Girls' Generation's Yuri. Yuri was recognized as a meritorious taxpayer. On the 9th, the Gangnam District Office in Seoul held the '2026 Meritorious Taxpayer Commendation Ceremony' and awarded commendations to 10 individuals who contributed to the community through diligent tax payments. This year's honorees included five individuals and five corporations, with Yuri, who is active as both a singer and actress, among them. However, it was reported that Yuri could not attend the ceremony due to her theater rehearsal schedule.
Third place went to Carmen of H1-KEY. H1-KEY achieved a milestone with their debut song 'The Chase,' reaching 100 million streams on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform. This record is the first for a K-pop girl group that debuted last year. Released in February last year, H1-KEY's first single's title track 'The Chase' conveys a confident message of paving one's own path and excitement and curiosity about the new world ahead. The song captures H1-KEY's first step towards their dreams with a dreamy and mysterious atmosphere.
Currently, on the TenAsia website, polls are ongoing with themes such as 'Which female singer would make your heart flutter the most in person?', 'Which male singer would make your heart flutter the most in person?', 'Which female trot singer would make your heart flutter the most in person?', and 'Which male trot singer would make your heart flutter the most in person?'
