Hearts2Hearts Tops December's TENASIA Artist Top Ten K-Pop Girl Brand Rankings
In December, TENASIA conducted a global voting service, dividing the categories into K-Pop Boy Brand, K-Pop Girl Brand, and Hot Genre Brand.
The results revealed that Hearts2Hearts secured the top spot in the K-Pop Girl Brand category. The group recently won two awards at the '2025 MAMA Awards,' including the prestigious 'Fans' Choice' award. They expressed their gratitude, stating, "It's an honor to receive the Fans' Choice award at our first MAMA appearance. We believe this award was made possible by our fans," and thanked their SM Entertainment family and fans.
UNIS claimed the second position. According to F&F Entertainment, member Lim Seowon was recently chosen as the new model for the student uniform brand SKOOLOOKS. UNIS held their first Asia tour last summer, meeting fans in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. In September, they released a collaboration track 'Shaking My Head' with Japanese artist Noa and their first original Japanese song 'Moshimoshi♡.'
NiziU took third place. The Japan-based group achieved their fifth number one on the Oricon Weekly Combined Album Ranking. They concluded their fourth tour, 'NiziU Live with U 2025 "New Emotion: Face to Face,"' with solo performances at Budokan on the 22nd and 23rd.
Following them were IVE, i-dle, fromis_9, TWICE, Kim Sejeong, BLACKPINK, and Suzy.
The rankings were determined entirely by global popularity votes through the TENASIA voting service.
The criteria for nominees in the K-Pop Boy Brand and K-Pop Girl Brand categories include male and female idol groups and solo artists within the top 20 on the Melon chart and Idolchamp chart for the month. The Hot Genre Brand category includes domestic groups and solo artists with a history of entering the Melon and Celebchamp monthly chart, also within the top 20 for the month.
Each month, the winners of the TENASIA Artist Top Ten receive benefits such as exclusive feature articles and promotion on the TENASIA main page as the Artist Top Ten.
