The 2022 Top Female KPOP Idol Rapper is from Dreamcatcher!

One of the aspects that made K-Pop unique is, that almost every k-pop group consists of a rapper position. Whether it’s a male or female group, a rapper is almost always present. 

Here in Kingchoice, we held a month-long poll and asked our users to vote on which female k-pop idol is the best rapper

Over 2.2 million votes were cast and finally, here’s the result:

Out of all the nominees, Dreamcatcher’s Dami got first place! Over 721,000 votes were given to Dami. She fought closely with the second runner up but still in the end, Dami got the first spot. 

Dami is the main rapper of the girl group Dreamcatcher from Dreamcatcher Company (formerly Happyface Entertainment). Dami debuted in 2017 together with other members. She is part of the first members to debut in the group (formerly called as Minx). 

Before Dami became a k-pop idol, she first trained for one and a half years. 

Her group Dreamcatcher recently released a new album called Apocalypse: Save Us and its lead single “Maison.”

Dreamcatcher is set to have their world tour. Their first stop is America and they will be in the cities: Pennsylvania, Louisville, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.

The second runner-up of the poll is none other than BLACKPINK’s Lisa. Despite Lisa not being the main rapper of BLACKPINK, many of Kingchoice’s users chose her as one of the best female rappers in the industry. With only a few differences, Lisa got ranked second in the Kingchoice’s Female rapper poll. 

BLACKPINK’s Lisa garnered over 700,000 votes from our users. Just last month, Lisa also dominated our poll regarding the best female idol dancer. It’s a shame that Lisa didn’t get to achieve the back-to-back win but still, she ranked high in our latest poll. 

Lisa and other BLACKPINK members are currently busy with their individual schedules. It was also revealed that BLACKPINK will finally return to the K-pop scene this year as a full group.
