Jeong Seo-joo Secures Top Spot in July Voting
[CBC News] Jeong Seo-joo has once again solidified her dominance by topping the ‘Best Female Singer’ category in the July 2025 Netizen Awards. As of midnight on July 12, she leads comfortably with 18,669 votes, accounting for 43.4% of the total.
Fan Power Drives Huge Lead
Known for her mass appeal and devoted fanbase, Jeong Seo-joo continues to demonstrate overwhelming popularity in the annual online poll. This month, she is more than 11,000 votes ahead of the second-place contender — a clear indication of her fandom’s formidable support.
Fierce Competition Behind the Leader
The race for second place remains tight. Binnie Seo takes second with 7,505 votes (17.5%), followed by My Jin with 7,279 votes (16.9%). The close margin between the two suggests a neck-and-neck battle for the runner-up position.
Mid-Tier Rankings Show Strong Fan Foundations
Further down the list, Kim Da-hyun (2,159 votes, 5.0%), Yang Ji-eun (1,752 votes, 4.1%), and Song Ga-in (1,641 votes, 3.8%) hold steady in the top ten, supported by dedicated fans. Kim Da-hyun, in particular, is emerging as a standout among the younger trot generation, with potential to climb higher in the remaining weeks.
Mid-Field Mayhem and K-pop Stars in the Mix
Rankings from seventh to eleventh place, including artists like Kang Hye-yeon and Hong Ja, are seeing vote shares around 1%, making it anyone’s game in the middle tier. In a surprise twist, major K-pop idols such as LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha (15th), IU (16th), and NewJeans’ Minji (20th) have also landed in the top 20, signaling their consistent charm even within a trot-heavy field.
All Eyes on the Grand Finale
The July Netizen Awards will continue through the end of the month. Whether Jeong Seo-joo can maintain her commanding lead or be overtaken in a last-minute surprise remains to be seen. Experts say the final result will depend on each fandom’s coordination and momentum.
