Yoshiki of the group KO1KEYZ has taken first place in the 'Best Position Match - Vocal' vote on the global fandom platform UPICK.

The vote, held from October 2 to 14, aimed to determine the best vocalist within idol groups. Yoshiki claimed the top spot, surpassing renowned senior artists including Rio of AlphaDrive One, Jay of ENHYPEN, JL of AHOF, and Louis of LONGSHOT. Competition was fierce throughout the voting period amid passionate interest from fans around the world.

Yoshiki previously proved his vocal abilities even before his debut, reaching the semifinals of the 2025 audition program 'Current King of Singers JAPAN.' This first-place finish holds great significance as it reaffirms the support of his fans.

The winner will receive billboard advertising rights on the large screen at the Atrium of Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, where congratulatory videos made by fans are also scheduled to be screened.

Meanwhile, KO1KEYZ released their debut single 'KO1KEYZ' on the 7th and are actively promoting in both Korea and Japan. On their debut day, they recorded approximately 500,000 album sales in Japan, topping both the Oricon Daily Single Ranking and Billboard Japan's 'Top Singles Sales' chart.
