The award was based on votes collected from fans from 83 countries, including Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, the US, Brazil, South Korea and Singapore.

Lisa had to compete against other contenders such as TWICE’s Tzuyu, IU, MAMAMOO’s Hwasa, CL, Red Velvet’s Irene, as well as her fellow band members Jennie and Rosé.
