Classical Crossover Groups Lead the Pack
As the weekend approaches, anticipation is building around the Netizen Awards’ Best Group category. As of Friday afternoon, July 18 at 2:04 p.m., Forte di Quattro leads with 14,197 votes (47.3%), closely followed by Liberante with 8,749 votes (29.1%). Fans of both groups have turned the competition into a two-horse race.
Narrowing the Gap, Liberante Surges
Forte di Quattro had maintained a steady lead since early July, securing their spot at the top. However, Liberante has been gaining momentum mid-contest, soaring past the 8,000-vote mark and narrowing the gap to just 5,400 votes. With voting still open, the ultimate winner hinges on how strongly fans rally behind their favorites in the coming days.
Other Groups Holding Strong
Coming in third is Fortena with 2,295 votes (7.6%), followed closely by La Poem (1,384 votes, 4.6%) and Forestella (1,320 votes, 4.4%). These top positions are dominated by groups known for their classical and crossover musical styles, reaffirming the genre’s popularity among fans.
K-pop Giants Join the Fray
Further down the list, indie rock band Jannabi (706 votes), male vocal group Plave (264 votes), and global superstars BTS (261 votes) are ranked 6th to 8th. Popular K-pop acts such as N.Flying, SEVENTEEN, NewJeans, BLACKPINK, and TWICE are also contenders. With just two weeks left before the final vote, groups like Dreamcatcher, (G)I-DLE, and ENHYPEN may still stage a comeback depending on fan strategy.
The Final Countdown Begins
With the voting deadline fast approaching, this weekend marks a critical turning point. Will Forte di Quattro retain their lead? Can Liberante pull ahead in a final push? Or will Fortena surprise everyone with a last-minute surge? All eyes are on the fans—and their keyboards—as the thrilling race continues.
