K-Pop Stars Shine in March's Tenasia Artist Top Ten Rankings
The Tenasia voting service conducted a global poll in March, dividing the categories into K-Pop Boy Brand, K-Pop Girl Brand, and Hot Genre Brand. The voting took place from March 9 to March 22.
Organized by Tenasia, the 'Artist Top Ten' is a monthly competition that selects the most buzzworthy domestic artists. Male idols, female idols, and genre artists (including indie, mixed groups, ballads, etc.) compete for the top spot in their respective categories.
Singer Woody claimed the top spot in the K-Pop Genre Brand category. In April, he will release a new remake digital single, 'Two People,' on various online music sites. Originally released in 2005, 'Two People' is a representative song by Sung Si-kyung, known for its harmonious blend of the artist's voice, beautiful melody, and romantic lyrics. Woody has reimagined this popular wedding song with his unique emotional touch.
Sandara Park secured the second position. She continues to engage with the public through her YouTube channel 'DARA TV.' In a video released on March 10, Sandara Park attended Milan Fashion Week, watched fashion shows, and participated in brand events. After completing her schedule, she visited a luxury store and humorously remarked, "I think I need to have a baby just to dress them up," upon seeing the kids' section.
Soyou took third place. She made headlines by losing a total of 20kg since starting her diet in January last year. In December, she revealed her weight on her YouTube channel 'Soyougi,' stating, "It's my lowest weight, 49.1kg." In February, she addressed plastic surgery rumors post-diet on her channel, explaining, "My maximum weight before dieting was 68kg. People think I lost 10kg, but I actually lost 20kg, reaching 48kg. That changes your face."
Following them were WOODZ, Hanloro, Park Seo-jin, Hwasa, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Yong-bin, and Son Bin-ah.
The rankings of Woody, Sandara Park, Soyou, WOODZ, Hanloro, Park Seo-jin, Hwasa, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Yong-bin, and Son Bin-ah are determined 100% by voting scores from the Tenasia application. After the monthly voting concludes, the artists with the highest combined fan voting scores are selected for the Artist Top 10. The voting page also offers a daily heart gift event for attendance check-ins.
Candidates for the K-Pop Boy Brand and K-Pop Girl Brand categories are selected from the top 20 teams on the Melon Chart and Idol Champ Monthly Chart for the month. Candidates for the Hot Genre Brand category are chosen from the top 20 teams on the Melon Chart and Celeb Champ Monthly Chart.
Artists who make it to the 'Artist Top Ten' receive benefits such as a special article linked to their final ranking, promotion on the Tenasia website, and inclusion in the next month's Artist Top Ten candidates (limited to the first-place artist).
