Byun Wooseok Takes the Lead in August’s Netizen Awards
As of 6:10 PM on August 28, rising Korean actor Byun Wooseok is dominating the Netizen Awards for Best Actor, racking up an impressive 12,547 votes—good for a commanding 35.9% of the total. To put that in perspective, he’s pulling nearly triple the support of second-place actor Rowoon and maintaining a wide lead over third-place Lee Joon-gi.
Welcome to the ’10K Club’

And the gap isn’t even close—Rowoon trails behind with 4,048 votes (11.6%), and Lee Joon-gi clocks in with just 2,398 (6.9%). At this point, it’s Wooseok’s game to lose.
