Forestella clinched the honorable first place in the 3rd week of May 2025 DC Trend K-POP Male Group popularity poll.
In the poll conducted from May 12 to May 18, 2025, Forestella won the honor of first place with a total of 17,515 votes.
On the 19th, news of Go Woorim’s discharge further energized the group’s activities. Go Woorim plans to reconnect with fans through a live broadcast in the afternoon of the 19th. Enlisted in November 2023 and served as a military band member, he quietly completed his service and is ready to return to Forestella. He announced his return plans through the agency channel, hinting at a reunion with fans by stating, “Look forward to activities with the full group.”
With Go Woorim’s return, all four members of Forestella have completed military service and are gearing up for activities. Prepared to take the stage with Kang Hyeong-ho, Bae Doo-hoon, and Cho Min-kyu, they are expanding their connection with fans through diverse content such as recent concert behind-the-scenes and concert videos. In particular, the concert live video ‘And Spring’, released last March, was well-received for its grand stage direction and emotional vocals.
ONF took second place. They garnered a total of 16,105 votes, engaging in a fierce competition with Forestella. Having resumed activities through fan meetings and music broadcasts, they maintain a strong fan base with their unique refreshing charm. Fans continuously support them with messages like “Love you and love you more.”
3rd place was PlayV, scoring 9,943 votes. In 4th, The Boyz followed with 6,645 votes, and in 5th, La Poem with 5,230 votes.

Highlight
This poll highlighted Forestella’s rise, marking full group activities with Go Woorim’s discharge. With narrow vote margins against ONF, a fierce battle for the top spot may recur in the next poll. In the middle ranks, stable support for PlayV and The Boyz is evident, and the movements of groups adjusting their return timelines will likely influence future ranking changes.
