SECRET NUMBER quietly conquers the digital stage with unstoppable fan‑driven power and unstoppable momentum
I still recall hunkering down in a Jakarta café, watching the live vote ticker explode in neon numbers as SECRET NUMBER leaped into first place—my iced latte went warm while the fandom’s passion blazed hotter than the Java sun. That electric rush? Exactly why their story matters.
Digital Dynamos : the rise of fan‑powered voting
“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships,” Michael Jordan once noted.
SECRET NUMBER embodies that credo in the pixel‑lit arenas of KTOPSTAR and Plustar.
From December 2024 to March 2025, the group rocketed to first place nine separate times across two platforms, proving that online ballots can outweigh broadcast trophies.
Their fiercest week? KTOPSTAR 17th cycle—Indonesian fans delivered an 83.3 % landslide, outpacing every rival by lengths. Wild.
Numbers behind the magic
| Date span | Platform | Result | Fan votes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 3 – 9 2025 | KTOPSTAR | 1 st | ≈ 1.1 M |
| Feb 10 – 16 2025 | KTOPSTAR | 1 st | ≈ 1.3 M |
| Mar 24 – 30 2025 | KTOPSTAR | 1 st | ≈ 1.5 M |
The raw digits glow brighter than any stage light—1.5 million taps in seven days rivals mid‑tier streaming counts.
Southeast Asia spotlight
Jakarta isn’t a fluke.
Across Manila, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, SECRET NUMBER’s local hashtags trend every comeback.
A 2025 YouGov panel tallied thirty‑seven percent brand awareness among Indonesian Gen Z—a staggering feat for a mid‑tier K‑pop act.
Fans cite “relatable multilingual banter” and “energetic TikTok challenges” as main hooks.
Indonesia’s GDP‑per‑capita rise plus cheap 5G data have turned mobile‑first fandoms into sponsorship goldmines—brands crave acts that already own these eyeballs.
Post‑member synergy : LEA’s new chapter
When LEA re‑emerged as Mizuki under SNP Entertainment’s model roster, she quoted Haruki Murakami: “When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.”
Her personal metamorphosis doubles as free PR for the group—Japanese morning shows replay old SECRET NUMBER b‑sides in every segment.
Cross‑market buzz? Check.
Revenue ripple effect
Fashion editors link Mizuki’s contract to a projected 12 % uptick in Japanese licensing deals for SECRET NUMBER merch this fiscal year.
Cold hard truth: fandoms don’t sleep, but they do migrate. Keeping graduated members visible keeps the mother‑ship brand glowing.
Future playbook
- Hyper‑local pop‑ups : limited vinyl signing booths in Surabaya and Cebu.
- Metaverse light‑stick NFTs : proof‑of‑attendance to convert casual clickers into paying loyalists.
- Work‑for‑hire songwriting camps with SEA producers to weave native languages into B‑sides.
Streaming pays pennies; fandom voting proves willingness to spend on collectibles and events.

Ignore the quiet storm at your peril; brands that partner now ride the tide, those that wait will be left paddling.
