Park Jihyun Quietly Climbs to Third in Netizen Awards
K-pop singer Park Jihyun is gaining attention for her steady rise in the 2025 Netizen Awards’ Brand category. As of April 20, 12:40 p.m. KST, she secured third place with 43,040 votes, accounting for 16.2% of the total share. With the rankings rapidly shifting, Jihyun’s presence in the upper tier is becoming increasingly notable.
Park Jihyun Emerges in Hwang Youngwoong–Jung Seojoo Two-Way Battle
The current leader, Hwang Youngwoong, holds 69,217 votes (26.1%), followed by Jung Seojoo with 58,542 votes (22.0%). While both have enjoyed early and unified fan support, Park Jihyun is drawing attention for her gradual and consistent growth. Her steady climb shows she isn’t just catching up—she’s catching on.
Park has also widened the gap between herself and the fourth-ranked contestant, Son Taejin, who sits at 17,769 votes (6.7%). With over 25,000 more votes than Son, Park is positioning herself not simply as a ’chaser,’ but as a serious contender for the top spots.
Dominance in the Midfield—Fan Focus Powers Her Rise
Jihyun’s competitive edge lies in her tight-knit fanbase. While most mid-tier contestants have secured only around 10,000 votes, Park has racked up more than triple that. This indicates a high level of commitment and consistency among her supporters, giving her a long-term advantage.
The vote gaps are even wider when we look further down: Enok in fifth place (12,647 votes, 4.8%) and Binnie (Bin Yesuh) in sixth (9,849 votes, 3.7%) are trailing by over 30,000 votes. These margins suggest that Park’s current standing is secure—for now.
Second Place Within Reach?
Currently, Park Jihyun trails Jung Seojoo by about 15,000 votes. Though closing that gap in the short term won’t be easy, the momentum is in her favor. As the vote distribution among top contenders levels out, Park’s fanbase could drive a surprise upset—especially if their voting power remains focused and persistent.
Could Park Jihyun’s “Silent Storm” Shift the Balance?
Now firmly occupying third place, Park Jihyun is no longer just trying to survive—she’s aiming for the top. While the two-leader format remains stable for now, the growing gap between the top three and the rest is reshaping the contest into a three-way race.
The key now is stamina. If Park’s fandom continues to rally behind her, the so-called “silent storm” may just shake up the entire top-tier landscape of the Netizen Awards—one vote at a time.
