UPICK's Idol Chemistry vote pits ENHYPEN's Sunoo & Niki against Longshot, CORTIS, and more

Global fandom platform UPICK launched its 'Idol Chemistry Hotspot' vote on August 7, asking fans to pick the strongest chemistry pair in K-pop.

Twelve teams made the finals after a preliminary round on UPICK's official X account. Longshot's Ryul & Woojin and ENHYPEN's Sunoo & Niki are currently battling for first place. ALPHA DRIVE ONE's Rio & Shinlong, CORTIS's Martin & Juhun, and KOIKIDS's Shinhaeng & Itsa sit in the upper rankings. BLACKPINK's Jisoo & Rosé and ANDOBLE's Ricky & Han Yujin round out the field.

The prize: a digital signage advertisement at Hongik University Station on Seoul's Airport Railroad line, one of the city's busiest transit hubs. The winning pair's fans will create the ad content themselves.

(Winning a fan-made subway ad is genuinely one of the more creative fandom flex formats out there.)

UPICK is running several other votes in parallel. August Pick of the Month, Best Position Match – Vocal, August Comeback Idol, K Singer – Trot No.1, and Brand Pick – Ion Drink are all live.
