Seeing your favorite artist's video up on a subway billboard — every fan has pictured it at least once.
LiNC Comeback SPOTLIGHT Vote makes that happen inside LiNC. The video of whoever is No.1 right now goes live on the Charging Station spotlight.
This isn't a vote where you wait for the results. It's a live race to take the spot — and hold it.
Go to the Vote tab and open LiNC Comeback SPOTLIGHT Vote
Pick the artist you want to support and tap the vote button
Each vote uses 3 Fan Points or 1 GEM, and there is no limit on how many times you can vote
After voting, you can save your voting certificate and share it to Open Chat. (You can also find it under My Profile > Voting Certificate)
Every Tuesday 12:00 – the following Monday 23:59 (KST)
Voting closes Monday night, so the ranking can flip all the way through the weekend.
Depending on comeback schedules, voting may not take place in weeks when there aren't enough candidates.
Candidates are major comeback artists, listed by artist
An artist can take part for up to 3 rounds after a new release (including debut singles)
Comebacks with no video to put on the spotlight (audio-only releases) are not eligible
The video of the live No.1 artist runs on the Charging Station spotlight.
When the ranking changes, the spotlight video switches to the new No.1's video
Rankings are shown as vote share (%) on the vote detail page
In a tie, the current No.1 keeps the spot
The final No.1's video stays up after voting closes, until 12:00 the following Tuesday
Results are announced on Tuesday, the day after voting closes. Along with the final No.1, we'll share how long each artist held the No.1 spot.
Q. My artist is No.1, but I don't see the video in the Charging Station.A. Two things to check. First, it can take 1–2 minutes for a ranking change to show up on the spotlight. Second, the spotlight rotates between the No.1 video and other content. The No.1 video doesn't take over the slot exclusively. Refresh the screen and it should come around again.
Q. The No.1 changed, but the video didn't. A. If an artist holds No.1 for less than about a minute, the change can happen faster than the refresh cycle and the spotlight video may not swap. The ranking itself is still being counted correctly.
Q. How long does the final No.1's video stay up? A. It stays up after voting closes and comes down automatically at 12:00 the following Tuesday. When the next round opens, that round's No.1 video takes the slot.
Q. Why isn't my artist a candidate? A. An artist is not eligible if 3 rounds have passed since their new release, or if there's no video to put on the spotlight. Candidates are refreshed each week based on comeback schedules, so check the next round.
Q. There's no vote this week. A. The Comeback SPOTLIGHT Vote features recently comebacked artists — up to 3 rounds after a new release. When there aren't many comebacks, there may not be enough candidates and a round may not open. You can check for an active round in the Vote tab.
Q. How many times can I vote per day? A. There's no limit. Vote as much as your Fan Points and GEMs allow.
