A Tightly-Woven Race Comparable to a K-Drama Plot
This isn’t just a contest—it’s a back-and-forth thriller. Vote counts are fluctuating by the minute, and the top three stay in constant motion, trading places in a matter of seconds. It’s become more than a poll—it’s a spectacle unfolding like a K-drama filled with twists and tension.
Hyeri has maintained a strong lead, riding on the loyalty of a long-established fanbase. Meanwhile, Kim Hyeyoon’s recent popularity boost—thanks in part to her role in Lovely Runner (선재 업고 튀어)—has made her a serious contender. Newcomer Jung Subin is also capturing attention with her rapid rise, signaling her emergence as a powerful new face in the industry.
Honorable Mentions and Rising Stars
Trailing just behind the top trio are Jung Somin (642 votes, 4.8%) and Lee Seyoung (615 votes, 4.6%), who remain strong challengers. Although they currently lag in numbers, a sudden surge could change the leaderboard in an instant.
In the mid-range rankings, familiar faces like Shin Hyesun, Im Yoona, Kim Jiwon, and Hwang Jungeum maintain steady support. Meanwhile, Park Eunbin, Ahn Eunjin, and Kim Yoojung are quietly making moves in the background, hinting at a possible shake-up in the coming days.
More Than Just a Popularity Contest
This year’s Best Actress vote has turned into a battle of passion and pride, with fandoms showing strategic coordination that feels almost militaristic. With rankings continually shifting and no clear winner in sight, fans are gearing up for a dramatic finish. Who will wear the crown when the curtain falls? Stay tuned.
