From Underdog to Fan Favorite
It’s not just about who’s leading the charts—it’s about who’s gaining ground. Actor Choo Youngwoo is grabbing attention in the July edition of the Netizen Awards for Best Actor. As of 5:07 PM on July 22, he holds the 16th spot with 307 votes (1.0%), but don’t be fooled—there’s more to the story.
Neck-and-Neck with Industry Veterans
Despite seemingly modest numbers, Choo is in a tight race with some big names. He trails veteran Namgoong Min by just 7 votes and Jung Haein by 91 votes. That gap could close any minute. Jeong Junwon is also in this competitive lineup, highlighting just how stacked the category is.
At the top, Byun Wooseok dominates with 11,146 votes, claiming a massive 35.9% share, while Rowoon (11.8%) and Lee Minho (10.0%) hold steady behind him. Further down the list, Lee Joongi, Na Inwoo, Lee Junho, and Jang Geunseok are also securing consistent support from fans.
‘Gyunwoo and Seonnyeo’ Boosts His Popularity
Choo Youngwoo’s recent appearance in tvN’s romantic K-drama ‘Gyunwoo and Seonnyeo’ (a modern twist on a classic Korean folk tale) has amplified his public profile. The series—a charming blend of tradition and romance—has resonated with fans, and it’s helping Youngwoo gain traction in real-time rankings. If the fan support keeps growing, he could leap into the mid-tier soon.
The Wild Card of Fan Power
While the top and middle ranks are relatively stable, the lower tier—where Choo currently resides—is becoming a battleground for breakout stars. Depending on how fans rally, Choo Youngwoo may just pull off a “quiet rebellion” and surprise everyone. The next few days may decide whether this dark horse becomes a frontrunner. Stay tuned!
