SWIM takes the lead in the K-pop Song of the Summer 2026 poll. SWIM holds 5585 votes. SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA holds 1680 votes. The gap between them is 3905 votes. Voting closes on August 31 at 14:59 KST. There are 47 hours of voting time remaining.
The gap between first and second place is very large. SWIM leads by 3905 votes with only 47 hours left to vote. This gap is too large to close in the time remaining. SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA would need to gain nearly 3905 votes while SWIM gains no new votes. This outcome is extremely unlikely. SWIM's commanding lead appears secure through the final hours of voting.
The top three positions show the structure of this poll. SWIM leads with 5585 votes. SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA holds second place with 1680 votes. Endless Sun holds third place with 663 votes. The gap between second and third place is 1017 votes. This is much smaller than the 3905-vote gap at the very top. The contest between SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA and Endless Sun for second place remains competitive. Either song could still move into the second position if voters shift their support. This 1017-vote gap leaves room for movement in the final two days of voting. The real battle in these final hours may be for second place, not for the top spot.
SWIM's lead reflects strong support for the song across the poll. With the first-place position essentially decided, voters watching the final hours will focus on the race for second and third place. The outcome at the top appears settled, but the competition below remains open.
