A heated competition among K-POP idol rappers is underway on UPICK, the global fandom platform. The contest, held through the 'Best Position Match - Rapper' vote to determine the best rapper, runs until September 29.

Twelve finalists have been confirmed through fan participation in the preliminary round. The finalists include rappers representing each team: BTS's Suga, RIIZE's Seongchan, ALPHA DRIVE ONE's Xinlong, BOYNEXTDOOR's Myung Jaehyun, LONGSHOT's Ryul, AHOF's Steven, EXO's Chanyeol, PLAVE's Eunho, ZEROBASEONE's Park Gunwook, and NCT WISH's Riku.

From the early stages of voting, rookie and next-generation rappers such as RIIZE's Seongchan, ALPHA DRIVE ONE's Xinlong, BOYNEXTDOOR's Myung Jaehyun, LONGSHOT's Ryul, and AHOF's Steven have stood out by ranking high. At the same time, artists with powerful global fandoms like BTS's Suga and EXO's Chanyeol are competing for the lead, drawing keen attention from fans.

The rapper who takes first place in the final round will be awarded a large billboard advertisement on the media screen at the Atrium of Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. A video created directly by fans will be used for this advertisement.
