Ha Sung-woon tops TenAsia’s September ‘Artist Top Ten K-pop Boy Brand’ vote; CORTIS 2nd, BTS 3rd

Singer Ha Sung-woon ranked first in the K-pop Boy Brand category of TenAsia’s September ‘Artist Top Ten’. Voting ran from September 11 to 24 on TenAsia’s voting service, with rankings determined 100% by app votes. Nominees were the top 20 acts on that month’s Melon chart and IDOLCHAMP monthly chart. Ha, a former Wanna One member who continues his solo career, reunited with his Wanna One bandmates in ‘WANNA ONE GO in LA’, released in September. The content featured behind-the-scenes footage from their ‘KCON LA 2026’ stage and the members traveling around LA together. Second-placed CORTIS set a record for the most No. 1 days for a single song by a K-pop group when ‘REDRED’, the title track of its second mini album ‘GREENGREEN’, logged its 120th No. 1 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Korea in September. Third-placed BTS sold out all 31 North American shows of its ‘ARIRANG’ world tour, drawing about 1.92 million fans, and continues with 14 shows in five South American cities starting in Bogotá, Colombia, on October 2. Stray Kids, BIGBANG, DAY6, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ASTRO, ALPHA DRIVE ONE and SEVENTEEN followed.
