Execution Now Determines the Winners
As of June 28, 2025, the June Netizen Awards have entered the critical final phase. With only two days remaining, there’s little room for upsets. Voters are no longer focused on shifting momentum but rather on executing already-planned voting strategies to secure victory.
Upper ranks remain steady. Rather than expecting a sudden twist, current leaders are reinforcing their positions. Fanbases are working in sync, strategically timing their votes to reinforce their idols’ standings.
Mid-Rank Movements Still Possible
While surprises at the top may be unlikely, the mid-tier remains dynamic. Even changes by a few dozen votes can lead to significant rank reshuffles, especially as the deadline nears and late-night vote floods become a critical factor. In a competition where emotions and plans have already been poured out, all that’s left is sheer execution.
Spotlight on the Grand Actor Award
One of the most anticipated categories this month is the Grand Actor Award. Veteran actress Jung Young-joo currently holds the lead, followed by Jo Han-chul in second place, and Kim Won-hae in third. Rounding out the top five are Choi Soo-jong and Lee Byung-hun. With the competition this fierce, fans are keeping a close eye on every vote.
