The groups CORTIS and ALPHA DRIVE ONE are engaged in an extremely close battle with only a gap of about a hundred votes in the Best Rookie Artist category of the “iMBC Awards”. Until the final day of voting, a competition for the rookie of the year award whose outcome is practically impossible to predict in advance is taking place.
According to data from August 9 at 1 p.m. KST, ALPHA DRIVE ONE holds 1st place with 14,265 votes (35.48%) in the Best Rookie Artist category of the “iMBC Awards”. CORTIS ranks 2nd with 14,086 votes (35.04%).
The gap between the two teams is only 179 votes, and the difference in vote rate is only 0.44 percentage points. Insofar as this is a level where rankings can reverse with a single fandom rally, it is difficult to predict the destination of the rookie of the year award until the very last moment. Attention is focused on whether CORTIS will succeed in reversing the trend by deploying its firepower at the very last moment.
In 3rd position, LNGSHOT appears with 5,038 votes (12.53%), while ALLDAY PROJECT records 4th place with 2,088 votes (5.19%). The cumulative number of votes in the Best Rookie Artist category currently stands at 40,204 votes.
Among the nominees are IDNTT, &TEAM, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, AND2BLE, CORTIS, FLARE U, HRTZ.WAV, IDID, LNGSHOT, MODYSSEY, EVAN, ATHEART, BABY DONT CRY, H//PE PRINCESS, HADES, HEART OF WOMAN, KEYVEATZ, LATENCY, UNCHILD, and ALLDAY PROJECT.
The “iMBC Awards” is an award ceremony organized by iMBC Entertainment, the only media outlet specializing in entertainment within the MBC group, in collaboration with MBC Plus. Voting takes place on IDOLCHAMP and will permanently close tonight at 11:59 p.m. KST. The 1st place winner in each category will receive a trophy from the “2nd iMBC Awards”, a special article on their 1st place, as well as a special video.
