tripleS Reveals Unique Leader Selection via Fan Voting & Chance

Unconventional Methods Revealed on Radio

Members of the innovative K-pop group tripleS have once again shed light on their unique operational system, detailing how fan voting and even random chance play a crucial role in their activities. The subunit msnz, consisting of members Yoon SeoYeon, tripleS Nien, tripleS JiYeon, and Kwak YeonJi, appeared as guests on the December 01, 2025 broadcast of KBS Cool FM’s “Lee Eunji’s Gayo Plaza,” with JUJU SECRET Lee MiJoo serving as a special DJ. During the show, the members discussed their recent comeback with the album “Beyond Beauty” and offered fascinating insights into the group’s unconventional structure.

The Power of Fan Voting in tripleS

The core of the tripleS system revolves around direct fan involvement, a concept that extends to the very formation of its subunits. Unlike traditional K-pop groups with fixed lineups, tripleS operates as a modular entity where units are created through a process called “Gravity,” a voting system where fans decide the member combinations. This dynamic approach ensures that each unit is a direct reflection of fan desires.

A Dream Come True Through Votes

Member tripleS JiYeon shared a personal anecdote that perfectly illustrates this fan-driven process. She explained her desire to be part of a unit with a “moon” concept, similar to the existing unit ARTMS. Through the fan voting system, her wish was granted, and she was placed in a unit that aligned with her preferred concept. This highlights how the group’s structure allows members’ and fans’ aspirations to merge, creating a unique bond and narrative for each comeback.

A Surprising Leader Selection Process

Perhaps one of the most intriguing revelations from the radio show was the fluid and unpredictable nature of leader selection within tripleS. The group does not adhere to a single method for appointing leaders; instead, the process can vary dramatically between units and promotional periods, incorporating elements of both democracy and pure chance.

Leadership by Random Draw

Yoon SeoYeon surprised listeners by revealing she became the leader of her unit, NEPTUNE, for the current promotions through a random draw. She explained that this was the first time the group had used a lottery-style method (제비 뽑기) to determine a leader. Coincidentally, Yoon SeoYeon had also been the leader during the unit’s previous activities, making the chance outcome even more remarkable. This method underscores the group’s willingness to experiment with all facets of its management.

When Fans Choose the Leader

In stark contrast to a random draw, other units have their leaders chosen directly by fan votes. The members mentioned an instance where tripleS HyeRin, born in 2007, was selected as a leader by the fanbase. This demonstrates that within the tripleS framework, age and seniority are not prerequisites for leadership; rather, fan perception and support are the determining factors. This democratic approach to leader selection further empowers the fans and solidifies the group’s identity as a truly fan-participatory K-pop group. The continuous evolution of their system keeps fans engaged, as seen with anticipation for other unit activities like the release from tripleS VV.
