BoA Tops K-Pop Female Singer Poll, Celebrates 24th Anniversary
BoA’s still got it! She just topped the Dishtrend Female K-Pop Singer poll that wrapped up on May 29th, pulling in a whopping 3,652 votes. Fans flooded the poll with love, especially since it lined up with the 24th anniversary of her Japanese debut. One fan wrote, “Sincerely congratulating BoA on her 24th Japanese debut anniversary!”
To mark the occasion, BoA dropped her brand-new Japanese song “Young & Free,” a chill medium-tempo track that she wrote herself. It’s got that signature BoA vibe—easygoing but packed with emotion. And there’s more good news: she’s gearing up for her first local tour in six years this September, with stops in Osaka, Fukuoka, and Tokyo. The “Star of Asia” really isn’t slowing down.
Coming in right behind her was VIVIZ’s Umji, who snagged second place with 3,363 votes. Fans are clearly smitten, leaving sweet messages like “Umji ♡.” Lately, she’s been turning heads with her low-key wit and calm charm in different content. Whether it’s from her GFRIEND days or now with VIVIZ, she keeps up that steady connection with fans.

Third place went to Kwon Eunbi with 1,577 votes, followed by Chanelle Moon with 381, and Karina rounding out the top five with 345.
Rounding out the top 10 were ATHENA, Hana, Yewon, Yerin, and YooA. All fan faves, no doubt.
What really stood out in this poll? BoA’s still reigning even after 24 years, while newer idols are steadily rising. It’s proof that in K-Pop, legends and rookies can shine side by side. The competition for fan love across generations is only heating up—and fans are definitely here for it.
