Kim Yong-bin Tops FANNSTAR Trot Ranking for 55 Consecutive Weeks
Singer Kim Yong-bin continued his remarkable streak by securing first place in the FANNSTAR Trot Ranking for the 55th consecutive week. Maintaining the top spot for more than a year, he has firmly established himself as one of the leading artists in the trot category.
Kim Yong-bin ranked No. 1 in the third week of June Trot Ranking vote, held from June 15 to June 22, with 2,167,989 votes. Hwang Young-woong placed second, while Choi Su-ho ranked third. Despite fierce competition, Kim maintained overwhelming support and continued his long-running dominance.
Recently, a new cumulative voting benefit system was introduced to the Trot Ranking, drawing considerable attention from fans. Separate from consecutive No. 1 records, these benefits are awarded based on cumulative vote totals. Reaching 100 million votes earns a Triple Panorama billboard at Express Bus Terminal Station, 300 million votes unlocks an E-Vision transfer corridor advertisement, and 500 million votes earns a Korea Building billboard advertisement.
In addition, several singers from The Legend of the Unknown have recently joined the candidate lineup, making competition within the Trot Ranking even more intense. As new challengers emerge, attention is focused on whether Kim Yong-bin can continue his long-standing dominance.
Kim Yong-bin has recently remained active through various music and entertainment programs, including KBS2's Immortal Songs and TV CHOSUN's Golden Friday. His stable vocals and sincere performances have earned praise from viewers, further strengthening his position as a leading trot singer.
Meanwhile, FANNSTAR, operated by THE FACT, is a fan-participation platform that contributes to fandom culture through various rankings and billboard support projects. Voting for categories including the Trot Ranking begins every Monday and is open to fans worldwide.
