Dreamcatcher’s Yoohyeon dominates the HOT 100 KPOP IDOLS RANKING 2022 poll!

It was a very close fight for the first spot but Dreamcatcher’s lead vocalist Yoohyeon officially dominated the Hot 100 Kpop Idols Ranking at the end.

Over 4.2 million votes were received for the whole poll and Yoohyeon got the highest one with 1,490,922 votes. It’s all thanks to InSomnias right?

Another thing that InSomnias made happen is that we can still see Dreamcatcher as a whole for more years because the girls announced back in November that they have renewed their contract with their agency. All 7 of them including our Hot Kpop Idol Yoohyeon decided to continue and walk with Dreamcatcher Company for more years.

The second runner-up of Kingchoice’s poll is none other than BTS’ main dancer Jimin. The top idol also received a huge amount of votes with 1,420, 939. It only has a little difference with number one. Last year, Jimin holds the top spot but in 2022, he failed to maintain his position.

It seems like Jimin will always be among the top ones in any polls, lists, and even, streams. It was also recently revealed that Jimin’s solo track With You placed second in Spotify South Korea’s most streamed K-Pop songs.

Meanwhile, the other nominees that entered the top 10 of Hot 100 Kpop Idols Ranking are TVXQ’s Yunho, NCT’s Lucas, Red Velvet’s Irene, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, BTS Jungkook, TVXQ’s Changmin, Super Junior’s Heechul, and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo.
