Ha Sung-woon Tops Poll as Most Desired Sauna Date Companion Among Male Singers

From August 21 to 27, TENASIA conducted a poll asking, 'Which male singer would you like to go on a sauna date with during the lingering summer heat?'
Ha Sung-woon claimed the top spot. Known as a rising OST powerhouse alongside 10CM and Davichi, he is building anticipation for his performance at the ATA Festival set for a cool autumn day in September. As an artist, Ha Sung-woon is a talented singer-songwriter, contributing to both the lyrics and composition of his songs. He has participated in writing and composing his hit tracks 'BIRD,' 'Don't Forget' featuring Park Ji-hoon, and 'Oh! Please.' He also contributed lyrics to one of his signature songs, 'BLUE.' Ha Sung-woon will be performing at the global music event 'ATA Festival 2025' on September 28 at Nanji Hangang Park.
In second place is Juyeon from THE BOYZ. THE BOYZ will also perform on September 28 at the 'ATA Festival 2025.' In a promotional video, they expressed their ambition to 'bring down the stage,' heightening fans' expectations. The festival will feature performances from various artists and offer a comprehensive experience of Korean culture, including food, beauty, and fashion. On the same day, artists like Bad Villain, Eunice, QWER, Cravity, TWS, 82Major, Fifty Fifty, and Ha Sung-woon will also grace the riverside stage.
Seventeen's DK secured the third spot. Seventeen has proven their immense ticket power by selling out Hong Kong's largest venue, Kai Tak Stadium, for their performances on September 27-28. Kai Tak Stadium has hosted global artists like the legendary British rock band Coldplay and Chinese superstar Jay Chou. Last year, Seventeen performed at Seoul World Cup Stadium and Japan's Kanagawa Nissan Stadium. This year, they continue to solidify their global presence with a stadium tour across major Asian cities, including Bulacan, Jakarta, Singapore, and Bangkok.
Currently, on the TENASIA website, polls are being conducted on the themes: 'Which male singer would you like to share new autumn plans with in the cool September?', 'Which female singer would you like to share new autumn plans with in the cool September?', 'Which male trot singer would you like to share new autumn plans with in the cool September?', and 'Which female trot singer would you like to share new autumn plans with in the cool September?'
