In a recent Kpopmap fan poll asking “Which K-Pop Idol Has The Best Variety Show Personality?“, TWICE’s Sana emerged as the overwhelming favorite, earning a staggering 90.9% of the total votes, equivalent to 11,129 out of 12,225 votes cast. The poll captured the passionate opinions of global K-Pop fans on which idol shines brightest on variety shows.

Sana’s massive win highlights her growing reputation as a variety star. Known for her bright, loveable energy and effortlessly funny reactions, Sana has become a fixture on Korean variety shows, where her humor and candidness regularly steal the spotlight. Global fans clearly believe Sana has a unique charm that makes her a natural entertainer beyond just the stage.

Trailing far behind Sana were HaeWon (NMIXX) with 6.2% (765 votes) and Yuqi (i-dle) with 1.1% (137 votes), followed by Jin (BTS) at 0.8% (98 votes), JaeHyun (BOYNEXTDOOR) at 0.6% (79 votes), SeungKwan (SEVENTEEN) — often dubbed the “variety king” — with a surprisingly low 0.2% (20 votes), and Jessi, a veteran variety favorite, at 0.1% (11 votes). Meanwhile, Kim HeeChul (SUPER JUNIOR), long celebrated for his sharp humor, received just 0.0% (5 votes), making him the least-voted idol in this particular poll.

These results reveal the power of fandoms and shifting perceptions of who embodies the ideal variety show personality in K-Pop today.
