Son Taejin Surges in August’s Netizen Awards
It’s fan-vote frenzy season, and classical crossover vocalist Son Taejin is taking home more than just applause. As of August 21, 2025, at 5:47 PM KST, he’s sitting comfortably in second place for the Netizen Awards Male Artist category, securing 17,216 votes (12.5%).
July’s Underdog Becomes August’s Contender
Back in July, Son Taejin placed third with 24,026 votes—no small feat. But this month, he’s stepped up his game, holding onto second place with determination.
The burning question now? Whether he can beat his previous vote count and hold off fast-rising rivals to keep his silver spot.
Third Place Is Right on His Heels
Park Jihyun, currently in third place, isn’t making life easy for Team Taejin. He trails closely behind with 12,340 votes (9.0%), leaving just a 5,000-vote gap. With plenty of voting time left in August, this could still swing dramatically depending on fan engagement and strategy.
Who’s Dominating the Charts?
While Taejin and Jihyun duel it out, Hwang Youngwoong is in first place with a commanding 59,607 votes (43.4%). The rest of the leaderboard isn’t far behind either: Jang Minho sits at fourth with 10,481 votes (7.6%), and Enoch follows closely with 10,183 votes (7.4%). Talk about a mid-tier squeeze!
All Eyes on Taejin’s Next Move
Can Son Taejin solidify his second-place lead—or will Park Jihyun make a dramatic leap in the final hours? Fans are watching nervously and voting furiously. Either way, one thing’s clear: Son Taejin is no longer the quiet contender—he’s the one to watch.
