A Stunning Twist in the April Netizen Awards
April’s voting for the Netizen Awards’ Best Actress category played out like a real-life drama. In a major upset, rookie actress Jung Subin seized the top spot with an overwhelming 51,155 votes (50.2%), ending Kim Hyeyoon’s dominant streak that had lasted for an impressive ten consecutive months.
Jung Subin’s Meteoric Rise
Appearing in the spotlight for the first time as a nominee, Jung Subin quickly gained traction from the start of voting. Her standout performance in the U+TV drama “Good Competitor” appears to have struck a chord with fans, propelling her to the top in just one month. Her sudden ascent not only earned her the title but also made a lasting impression on drama lovers and Netizen voters alike.
Fierce Competition and Steady Favorites
Despite her runner-up finish, Kim Hyeyoon remained a strong contender with 23,156 votes (22.7%), backed by her loyal fandom. Though her winning streak has ended, her reputation as a consistently outstanding actress remains unshaken. The big question now—for May’s award—is whether she will bounce back to reclaim her title.
Actress Jung Somin earned third place with 5,022 votes (4.9%), followed by Lee Seyoung (4,849), Shin Hyesun (3,075), and Im Yoona (3,023), rounding out the top six.
Fanbase Shifts and Unexpected Outcomes
Other actresses completing the top 10 included Hwang Jungeum (2,762), Kim Jiwon (2,712), Park Eunbin (1,911), and Ahn Eunjin (1,439). The 11th to 20th places featured names like Kim Yoojung, Han Sunhwa, and Son Yejin, showing the broad range of beloved talents in Korean dramas.
This month’s results highlight how swiftly fandom dynamics can shift, especially with new talent entering the scene. Jung Subin’s surprise victory has not only disrupted the frontrunner hierarchy but has also set the stage for an even more intense showdown next month.
A New Chapter Begins
