What are CHAMSIM?
Kpopmap
The voting system on IDOLCHAMP involves using ‘CHAMSIM’ to vote. ‘CHAMSIM’ are points in the form of either:
- 💗 Red hearts (RUBY CHAMSIM) – voting points that don’t expire
- 💙 Blue hearts (TIME CHAMSIM) – voting points that expire at the end of each month
- ⭐️ Stars – can be used for fundraising missions and donations
There are many ways to gain RUBY CHAMSIM, TIME CHAMSIM, and Stars for free (e.g. roulette spins, watching ads, answering quizzes, getting likes on posts, etc.). However, fans have been trying to find more efficient ways to gain CHAMSIM, especially RUBY CHAMSIM, as they are harder to get and don’t expire. RUBY CHAMSIM have become quite the commodity in the world of IDOLCHAMP.
In fact, the other way (and a more time-effective way) that you can get RUBY CHAMSIM is by buying them. However, some fans have found that buying them is too expensive.
Wondering how to get RUBY CHAMSIM faster and without breaking the bank? We’ve got your back!
