As a result, EXO's Suho won first place in a vote to select the "best leader" held at the "favorite idol" app. In the theme pick survey "Who is the best leader?", EXO's leader Suho won with 115,000 votes from the total votes of 330, 000, ranking first.
Suho, who achieved first place, is the leader of the group EXO, which will soon mark its 10th anniversary. In the past decade, the male idol proves his leader-material personality, being soft to his members and tough when needed just like a "mother."
He is also an "older brother" the members can rely on, as well as a"guardian" to his younger members. As the leader, Suho is a role model who always works ten times harder than other idols and shares positive influence with other EXO members. Best leader, indeed!
Currently, the "Let's Love" singer is serving the military after his enlistment on May 14, 2020. However, fans, particularly EXO-Ls raise their expectations as social service personnel reported that Suho is about to be released on February 13.
Meanwhile, as a reward for bagging the title, EXO's official MV will be advertised in the Favorite Idol app for a day, on February 12.

Trailing behind EXO's Suho, the leader of the global group BTS ranked second. Kin Namjoon, also known as RM received 114, 000 votes, just a thousand short to become the first place.
Nevertheless, BTS RM also joined Suho as one of the best K-pop leaders. With his IQ, the "Butter" singer is a wise and powerful leader with a huge heart for his members, too. In any circumstance, RM always chooses his members over himself and is patient with them. As the leader, RM acts more mature and is calm, but can also be quirky and soft especially to their maknae, Jungkook.
In third place, TWICE Jihyo secured the place with 24, 060 votes. The "Feel Special" leader is truly kind and compassionate. With her perfect leadership, you can say, that she's indeed, "God Jihyo." Since she has more training years, she uses her knowledge and experiences to lead the group, and her communication skills can truly make a nine-member "chaotic" group, organized. On of that, her beautiful heart is like the "glue" that stick the members, no matter what.
