Kstyle and the globally expanding K-POP idol support app IDOLCHAMP have announced the final results of their new ranking project, the “Kstyle Ultimate Visual Ranking.” The voting period, which ran from January 26 (Mon) to February 9 (Mon), 2026, has officially concluded, and the winners of each category have been decided. The “Kstyle Ultimate Visual Ranking” is a fan-voted project in which the No.1 idol in each category is selected from artists nominated through a preliminary survey. The ranking consisted of three voting categories — TEENS, 20s, and 30s+ — with votes cast through the IDOLCHAMP app accounting for 100% of the results. Notably, in the TEENS and 20s categories, MAKI and K of &TEAM both secured first place, making it a remarkable achievement as two members from the same group were selected as the No.1 visuals through fan voting. Throughout the ranking project, warm and passionate comments poured in across all categories. Support messages were received from fans around the world, extending beyond Japan and Korea. Original trophies will be presented to the idols who ranked No.1.
