The competition for the 2025 Best Actor Award is intensifying as voting enters its climax. As of Friday, July 18 at 1:49 p.m. KST, Byeon Woo-seok has taken the lead with 9,312 votes (36.2%). With only days left before the final decision, fans across the globe are rallying behind their favorites.
Rowoon and Lee Min-ho Close the Gap
Trailing in second place, Rowoon has secured 3,041 votes (11.8%). While the gap seems wide for now, the tide could shift quickly as his fandom regains momentum midweek. Meanwhile, third-place contender Lee Min-ho earned 2,509 votes (9.7%), closing in on Rowoon with consistent support from his long-time fans. Weekends often bring dramatic swings, making a leap into second place very much within reach.

Lee Joon-gi (1,530 votes), Na In-woo (1,283 votes), and Lee Jun-ho (1,177 votes) are neck-and-neck in the mid-ranking zone, forming a triangular rivalry. Not far behind are Jang Geun-suk (1,097 votes) and Um Tae-goo (983 votes), each striving to climb into the top zones before time runs out.
Bottom Rankings Still in Play
The 9th and 10th spots are currently held by Park Bo-gum (805 votes) and Park Ji-hoon (794 votes), separated by a mere 11 votes. With their reputations as comeback kings in fan-vote showdowns, these two are still strong contenders heading into the final stretch.
Dark Horses May Still Emerge
Other fan-favorite actors like Bae In-hyuk, Park Hyung-sik, Song Kang, Lee Je-hoon, Chu Young-woo, and Namkoong Min remain under the radar but could stage a surprise breakthrough. Fanbases are staying vigilant, with many still holding hope for a last-minute surge.
Final Weekend Showdown Begins
As the third weekend of July sets in, the Best Actor race heads into its most crucial phase. Will Byeon Woo-seok cross the finish line without a hitch, or will Rowoon and Lee Min-ho rally their fans for a stunning comeback? With each vote capable of changing the game, the result remains anybody’s guess.
