In the 'Summer King/Summer Queen' idol voting results conducted on the global fandom platform UPICK, Issa of Koi Kids and Chiquita of BabyMonster each claimed the honor of taking first place.

This vote, held from July 24 to August 4, concluded with explosive participation from fans. In the 'Summer King' category, Issa of Koi Kids — formed through the audition program 'PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS' — garnered strong support despite not having yet made an official debut. He proudly claimed the top spot, edging out formidable competitors including Nine 9JL, Alphardrive One Sangwon, and Cortis Gunho.

In the 'Summer Queen' category, BabyMonster's Chiquita took first place. Chiquita recorded an overwhelming vote rate, surpassing popular fellow and senior idols such as ILLIT's Choe Jeong-eun, Hearts2Hearts Stella, and BLACKPINK's Jennie.

As a special reward, the artists who placed first in each category will receive a billboard advertisement on the Art Canvas screen at Seoul's Jamsil Lotte World Mall. A congratulatory video produced directly by fans will be displayed on the billboard.

Meanwhile, Koi Kids, who have consistently maintained top rankings in multiple votes held on UPICK — proving the power of their strong fandom — are scheduled to debut simultaneously in Korea and Japan on October 7. BabyMonster recently released the music video for 'MOON,' a track from their third mini-album 'CHOOM,' and continue to carry out active promotions.
