On April 2, in the DCTrend poll, BLACKPINK took first place in the K-POP girl group category.
The long-awaited power of the fandom ‘BLINK’ gathered, recording its first daily win with 5,177 votes and showing overwhelming momentum. With fans’ cheers saying “Jisoo Jennie Rosé Lisa♡”, they reclaimed the top spot.
In second place, the legendary girl group Fin.K.L ranked with 2,229 votes, proving their unchanged strength amidst generational change. They continue to receive steady support with evaluations like “the only strong player among the 1st generation girl groups.”
In third place, the representative of the MZ generation, STAYC, followed with 1,901 votes. They are solidifying their position at the top with new song activities and active support from their fandom. The cheering phrase “Bebe fighting!” drew attention.
In fourth place, Kiss of Life (Kiof) recorded 542 votes. The fans’ affectionate message, “Love Kiof,” led to a rise in the rankings, and continued fan voting participation is expected to be key.
Fifth place is Fifty Fifty with 288 votes. Based on global recognition, the domestic fandom is also analyzed to be steadily expanding.
The rest of the rankings are as follows.
6th NJZ, 7th GFRIEND, 8th Lovelyz, 9th LE SSERAFIM, 10th aespa, 11th Brave Girls, 12th Fantasy Idol, 13th WIN:A, 14th fromis_9, 15th NMIXX, 16th woo!ah!, 17th IVE, 18th KiiiKiii, joint 19th Apink, (G)I-DLE.
Possible changes in the rankings of middle-tier groups are also high. In particular, NJZ, GFRIEND, and LE SSERAFIM are likely to have enough potential for ranking changes with a 100-vote difference, and the last part of the vote is expected to be a variable.
Meanwhile, the DCTrend popularity vote is counted daily and weekly, and the final results for the fifth week of March will be announced on the DCTrend website on April 7.
