Leading K-pop fan engagement platform TOP 100 KPOP (@TOP100KPOP) has released its highly anticipated December 2025 “TOP BIAS – AHOF” (Artist Hall of Fame) rankings, with rising star JL securing the top position after weeks of intense fan voting and engagement activity across global communities.
The monthly ranking, which spotlights standout K-pop idols based on fan-driven metrics including social media interactions, streaming contributions, and dedicated voting campaigns, placed JL ahead of second-ranked STEVEN and third-place JUWON. Rounding out the top five are HAN at #4 and DAISUKE at #5, while SHUAIBO (#6), WOONGKI (#7), CHIH EN (#8), and JEONGWOO (#9) complete the published portion of the list.
According to platform representatives, the December cycle saw a 17% increase in total participation compared to November 2025, driven by coordinated efforts from international fan clubs spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas. “What sets AHOF apart is its focus on holistic engagement – we don’t just measure votes, but how fans show up for their favorite artists through content creation, playlist curation, and community building,” said a TOP 100 KPOP spokesperson in an exclusive statement to this publication.
JL’s win marks their first #1 placement in the AHOF rankings, following a breakout year that included solo performances at the 2025 Mnet Asian Music Awards and a viral collaboration with a major Western pop artist. The idol’s fanbase, known as “JL Nation,” organized 32 local viewing parties across 18 countries during the voting period, with Philippine chapters in Davao, Manila, and Cebu reporting record turnout.
In related news, TOP 100 KPOP has announced plans to expand the AHOF program in 2026, adding a “Rookie Category” and partnering with regional music festivals to offer winning artists performance slots. The platform will also launch a mobile app update this quarter to streamline voting and provide real-time engagement analytics for fans and industry stakeholders.
The full ranking details, including additional positions and comprehensive data breakdowns, are available at dabemepop.com/bias.
