Important: 
Voting period is from 8th July 2019 to 19th July 2019 (6PM KST)

Why should we vote and what are the benefits?

• 1st place will get a big ad located at Samsung Station (main point)
• Period of the ad will be from 1st August to 30th August 2019 (1 whole month of promotion for INFINITE if we managed to get them the No.1 spot)

Here are some rules you guys should take note, before I begin with the voting tutorial:

1. There are total of 15 idol groups on the list, hence please be mindful with whoever you're sharing your answers with. Strictly INSPIRITS ONLY.
2. There are some changes to IDOLCHAMP voting, for more information, please click onto "Notice". It is no long just red hearts, the ongoing voting requires both red & blue hearts.
3. Please DO NOT anyhow use those hearts that you have earned, as this voting require 1 vote = 20 red/blue hearts (if you don't have enough red hearts, they will deduct your blue hearts. It works either way.)
4. Quizzes cannot be re-do, 1 device 1 time only. However, you can use multiple accounts to watch the videos to earn hearts
5. I'll be sharing out answers to the quizzes through a link (why? i'll check if you're an inspirits before sharing. Hence, do not tell me things like "i don't tweet about infinite, doesn't mean i'm not their fans? Well, you don't even follow their official / any members accounts..? Sorry, I'll just simply ignore such DMs)
