About this ranking

Summer 2026 has been a debate since the first week of June. BTS came back with the full group for the first time in years, and SWIM has been on repeat since the ARIRANG comeback. BABYMONSTER's SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA is the earworm of the season, and fans keep arguing about it.

MAMAMOO's 4 Flowers pulled the veterans back into the conversation. SHINee delivered Atmos, and RIIZE's Do Your Dance is built for outdoor stages. This is the fan vote for the K-pop song of the summer 2026. Pick the track that has defined your summer and vote.
