V has taken the lead in the K-pop Fashion Icon 2026 poll. V holds 770 votes, 17 votes ahead of Jimin in second place. Voting closes on August 13 at 12:05 KST, leaving 164 hours remaining in the race.
The 17-vote gap between first and second is extremely tight, making this race genuinely competitive. Jimin sits in second place with 753 votes, keeping the battle for the top spot intense. A focused push from Jimin's supporters could easily move Jimin back into the lead. With more than a week of voting remaining, either contender has time to shift momentum and secure the top position. Neither V nor Jimin can feel secure with this much time left and such a small separation. This narrow margin makes the outcome unpredictable right down to the deadline.
Jennie holds third place with 627 votes, trailing Jimin by 126 votes. This gap is more than seven times larger than the margin between first and second place, placing Jennie significantly behind the top two despite holding a respectable vote count. Jennie would need a substantial surge to threaten either V or Jimin, making a third-place finish the realistic outcome at this point in the voting.
The remaining field trails much further back. Felix holds fourth with 224 votes, followed by Jisoo with 195 votes. The other options show minimal support and pose no threat to the positions of the top three. The real competition in this poll is exclusively between V and Jimin at the top of the standings.
