This three-game losing streak is more than just a figure. Amid the advanced voting methods every year and fierce competition among candidates, the fan club hero era showed unwavering unity and systematic voting firepower, handing the throne to Lim Young-woong for three consecutive years.
Throughout the voting period, Hero Generation continued to actively communicate throughout the voting period, leaving supportive messages in the Who's Fan app and voting authentication events. This fandom's move is evaluated as forming a healthy fandom culture beyond just cheering.
Meanwhile, "HMA 2025" will be held on February 15 at KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.
