Fan Votes Speak: Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon Take the Lead
The October results of the Netizen Awards are already shaking up K-drama fandoms—with two clear front-runners pulling ahead in the acting categories. Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon are comfortably sitting atop the rankings, while their rivals are caught in a heated battle for second place.
Best Actor: Byeon Woo-seok Steals the Spotlight
With a commanding 1,243 votes (34.3%), Byeon Woo-seok is leading the Best Actor category. His recent string of successful drama and film appearances has evidently rallied his fanbase into full voting mode.
Trailing behind him is SF9’s Rowoon with 382 votes (10.5%), followed closely by seasoned actor Lee Joon-gi (361 votes, 10%).
The middle tier is tightly packed:
- Nae In-woo – 238 votes (6.6%)
- Kim Nam-gil – 221 votes (6.1%)
- Lee Junho – 187 votes (5.2%)
- Jang Geun-suk – 185 votes (5.1%)
With such narrow margins, a last-minute surge from any fanbase could completely rewrite the podium.
Best Actress: Kim Hye-yoon’s One-Woman Show
Kim Hye-yoon is running away with Best Actress, sweeping in 1,890 votes—that’s a whopping 44.9%! Her consistent appearances in popular dramas and charming performances keep fans coming back for more.
Meanwhile, Lee Se-young holds the second spot with 451 votes (10.7%), while Jung So-min (8.1%) and Hwang Jung-eum (6.7%) trail closely behind. Other notable contenders still in the fight include:
- Kim Ji-won – 240 votes (5.7%)
- Park Eun-bin – 164 votes (3.9%)
- Park Min-young – 147 votes (3.5%)
This category is shaping up to be a one-horse race for the top, but the scramble for second place is just heating up.
What This Means for October’s Awards
As it stands, both acting categories are defined by clear dominance at the top—Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon appear untouchable—while mid-rank hopefuls might just shake things up if their fans rally harder in the coming weeks.
Will there be a surprise upset? Or will these two ride their wave of popularity to an easy win? One thing’s clear: this fan-powered showdown is far from over.
