Singer Eun Ga-eun has been named the top "winter star best suited to model a cozy padding jacket" in a fan poll.

Eun garnered 2,690 votes to claim first place in the survey — titled "Temperatures have dropped! Which winter star best fits a cozy padding jacket model?" — conducted on Idol Chart from Nov. 2 to Saturday.

Jungkook finished second with 1,826 votes, followed by Jang Min-ho, Winter, Jeon Yu-jin and Hyeong-won, in that order.

Meanwhile, debate continues over whether long padding jackets — seen by some as the defining feature that sets padding apart from other outerwear — or shorter styles, which offer better fit and practicality while preserving warmth, will dominate this season.

The shorter style appeared to gain the upper hand for a year or two in recent years, but last year the trend shifted back toward longer silhouettes. Whether a slightly cropped take on the classic long padding jacket will emerge as a middle ground this winter remains to be seen.
