BTS member V is aiming for the top spot in the December Birthday Idol poll for the second year running.
The K-pop global platform UPICK has launched a voting event to celebrate artists with December birthdays, featuring a competitive lineup of major K-pop stars born in the last month of the year.
The current frontrunners in a tight race for the lead are AlphaDrive One’s An Shin, BTS’s V, and ZB1’s Kim Jiwoong. Hot on their heels are AHOF Daisuke, ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon, BOYNEXTDOOR’s Myung Jaehyun, BTS’s Jin, and SMTR25’s Nicholas.
V, who clinched the top spot in last year’s December Birthday Idol poll, is once again making his presence felt among the top contenders. ZB1’s Kim Jiwoong and AlphaDrive One’s An Shin are also holding their ground, buoyed by enthusiastic fan participation.
