Hwang Youngwoong has once again proven his dominance, scoring five major wins at the April 2025 Netizen Awards. This marks his seventh consecutive month as a quintuple winner—a feat unmatched in the award’s history.
Dominating Five Key Categories
In the most recent round of the monthly online awards, Hwang clinched the top spot in five prestigious categories: Best Male Singer, Grand Prize for Album, TV Commercial Model Award, Fanbook Award, and Net Grand Prix. His string of victories highlights his widespread popularity and the strong support from his dedicated fanbase.
Especially notable are his repeat wins in the Album and CF Model categories—testament to his appeal not just in music, but across various forms of media and pop culture.
Fandom Power Drives Record Votes
According to organizers, over 2.45 million votes were cast via the Netizen Awards app and website throughout April, reflecting intense fan participation. Despite the competitive landscape, Hwang consistently held top ranks and swept all five categories, once again meeting and surpassing fan expectations.
His fandom, already known for its dedication, is not only keeping him at the top but also helping break monthly voting records. Following his return to the ‘100K Votes Club’ in March, Hwang repeated the feat in April, signaling sustained momentum and growing influence.
Setting a New Record in Netizen Awards History
