BTS holds the lead in the Best K-Pop Act in Japan 2026 poll as voting enters its final three hours. The group has 5910 votes, placing them 470 votes ahead of Super Junior. Voting closes at 14:59 KST on July 31.
The gap between first and second place is small but decisive. BTS is pulling ahead in the final stretch, but the margin remains narrow. Super Junior's strong vote total of 5440 keeps the race compelling. Heavy voting activity in these closing hours could still shift the standings.
Super Junior holds a commanding advantage over third place. BlackPink sits in third with 4079 votes, leaving a 1361-vote gap between second and third. This gap is too large to close in the remaining time. Super Junior's second place position appears secure.
The real story in this final stretch is the race for first place. While BTS leads by 470 votes, this margin could be vulnerable if Super Junior voters surge in the next three hours. However, BTS has the advantage as time runs short.
Beyond the top three, the race spreads quickly. TWICE holds fourth place with 1584 votes, well behind BlackPink. Stray Kids is in fifth with 1134 votes. The remaining options have minimal support: SEVENTEEN at 39 votes, Big Bang at 36, EXO at 34, aespa at 13, and Girls Generation at 11.
The poll has drawn 18,280 votes total from fans. Cast your vote now.
