Here, we will explain all the basics STAYs need to know about voting!
What is voting needed for?
Voting is needed for:
Music Shows during Comeback
Award Shows (MAMA Awards, VMAs, etc.)
Birthday and Anniversary ads
Special Events like Kingdom: The Legendary War
What are Music Shows?
Every comeback (when a new album is released), SKZ has the opportunity to win trophies from the following Korean music shows:
Show Champion
MCountdown
Music Bank
Music Core
Inkigayo
Winners are determined through a cumulation of various scores, including Digital Sales, Physical Sales, SNS, Broadcast, Pre-Voting, Live Voting, and Viewers' Committee.
What voting app should I start with or prioritize?
We recommend prioritizing apps that are utilized for comeback.
Idol Champ: Starting July 28th, Ruby Chamsims will expire after 90 days. Ruby Chamsims collected prior to July 28th will not expire
MNET+: For MCountdown pre-voting & live voting, there are 5 votes per device (no collecting). For other polls, like comeback promo, mplepoints are used & will expire after 30 days if free or after 5 years if purchased
Mubeat: Heartbeats expire after 90 days
Allchart: Hearts expire after 90 days
Linc: Fan Points expire after 180 days
Higher: Rubies expire after 90 days; Diamonds never expire
Why is voting important?
Voting is one way STAYs can give back to SKZ in addition to streaming, investing in their albums and merch, attending their shows, and many more.
Oftentimes, music shows and award shows have multiple variables that are taken into account to determine a winner. Voting allows for us to make up for any categories that are out of our hands, like judges' scores for award shows or broadcast scores for music shows.
Remember, EVERY VOTE COUNTS♥ Understandably, everyone has things to do. Don't feel stressed if you are unable to vote a lot. Likewise, don't think that your vote won't matter because every vote can make a difference!
