The third round of UPICK's 'Special Pick' voting, which ran exclusively in June, concluded on June 23rd after starting on June 16th, with ENHYPEN's Niki winning first place in the K-pop Artist category. ZeroBaseOne's Kim Jiwung won the Rookie Artist category. The winners will receive a reward of media wall advertisements at Seoul's Gangnam Station. Simultaneously, the top two finalists from Round 3 in each category—Niki, Heeseung, Kim Jiwung, and AlphaDriveOne's Sangwon—advanced to the Final Round, which runs until 3 PM on June 30th. The artist finishing first overall will receive a global reward: Broadway digital billboard advertising in Times Square, New York. There is also fierce competition for the 'Special Badge,' awarded to the artist with the highest cumulative votes across all four rounds. Artists collecting three Special Badges by the end of June will receive an advertising package covering Korea, Japan, and Thailand, while the first artist to collect five badges will receive an unprecedented global advertising mega-package, intensifying fan voting enthusiasm.
