What is KDOL?
KDOL is a global popularity voting service where fans directly vote for their favorite K-pop idols to determine their rankings. Votes from fans in countries such as the United States, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Korea are 100% reflected in the rankings, with real-time tally updates. The votes are reset daily at midnight KST, and the accumulated results are used to determine daily, weekly, and monthly rankings, as well as entries into the Hall of Fame.

Notably, idols who surpass 50 million hearts, regardless of their ranking, are rewarded with various benefits, including subway advertisements. This unique policy has helped KDOL gain a reputation as a “value-for-money voting app” among fans, driving enthusiastic participation from global users.
