Three Top Actresses Clash Over Third Place
In the July edition of the Netizen Awards, the competition for the Best Actress category has heated up—with Jung So-min, Lim Yoon-a, and Shin Hye-sun battling fiercely for third place. As rankings shift by the hour, fans are rallying behind their favorites like never before.
Close Numbers Make It Anyone’s Game
As of 6:11 PM on July 15, Kim Hye-yoon held a commanding lead with 14,195 votes, accounting for 49.9% of the total. Lee Se-young follows in second with 2,594 votes (9.1%). But the real action begins in third place, where Jung So-min (1,936 votes, 6.8%) is barely ahead of Lim Yoon-a (1,788 votes, 6.3%) and Shin Hye-sun (1,750 votes, 6.1%).
The gap between the three is razor-thin—just 148 votes separate Jung and Yoon-a, and Shin trails by only 186 votes. With all three actresses known for both their acting chops and devoted fanbases, the outcome is far from certain.
More Than a Popularity Contest
This isn’t just a fight for third; it’s a pivotal turning point for the second half of the awards season. Experts suggest that how the July rankings shake out may shape the rest of the year’s Netizen Awards. With fan support often intensifying around the summer, this close contest could set off a wave of strategic voting and fandom mobilization.
Rising Pressure from the Middle Tier
Other top actresses like Hwang Jung-eum (1,377 votes, 4.8%) and Kim Ji-won (1,310 votes, 4.6%) are gaining ground as well, tightening the overall competition. The race remains dynamic, and shifts in fan loyalty or media appearances could tip the scale at any moment.
Meanwhile, Kim Hye-yoon has maintained her number one status for a second consecutive month, demonstrating unwavering popularity. However, with lower-tier contenders closing the vote gap, a shake-up before year-end is still possible.
Power of the Fans Will Decide the Rankings
With the competition evolving from mere popularity to a game of strategy and unity, the race among Jung So-min, Lim Yoon-a, and Shin Hye-sun is a showcase of modern fan culture. Who will pull ahead to solidify a spot in the top three? That’s a question only the fans can answer as voting continues.
