The Vote Is Too Close to Call
At 4:54 PM on September 24, updated rankings in the September edition of the Netizen Awards revealed what might be the fiercest battle of the month. While most categories show signs of stabilizing, the Neo Star Award remains neck-and-neck—and anything but predictable.
Just 274 Votes Apart
Currently leading the race is Kim Jihoon with 19,486 votes (32.8%). Hot on his heels is ChoonGil, breathing down his neck with 19,212 votes (32.3%). That’s a razor-thin gap of just 274 votes—a difference even a small fandom surge could erase in minutes.
Fans Fuel a Rollercoaster Rivalry
This month has seen a non-stop back-and-forth between the two fanbases, each rallying with intense dedication. Unlike other award categories that seem to have already picked favorites, the Neo Star segment is proving to be the true battlefield.
In contrast, Min Soohyun trails comfortably in third place with 5,995 votes (10.1%), showing no signs of breaking into the top tier. Below that, competitors are holding firm in their spots with little fluctuation.
What Makes This Battle So Heated?
“Other categories wrapped up earlier, but this one’s still wide open,” said an event official. “It all comes down to fan unity and last-minute intensity. That’s what will decide the winner.”
This last stretch is crucial. With the numbers this close and both sides above 30%, fandom strategy, shared hashtags, and vote drives could flip the script at any moment.
What’s at Stake?
Aside from the title, the Neo Star Award represents rising power and future stardom in the entertainment world. For relatively newer or re-emerging artists, it’s not just validation—it’s visibility, momentum, and bragging rights.
