Jung Young-joo Dominates ‘Best Actor’ Category
With just days left in July, the Netizen Awards are heating up—and it’s veteran actress Jung Young-joo who’s holding a powerful lead in the ‘Best Actor’ category. As of July 25 at 4:26 PM KST, she has racked up 3,926 votes, securing an impressive 41.9% of the vote share.
A Career Built on Depth and Versatility
Known for her commanding presence and multi-faceted talent, Jung has continued to earn widespread admiration. Her current voting lead isn’t just a popularity bump—it’s a nod to decades of respected performances that resonate with viewers across generations.
Second Place: Jo Han-chul Won’t Go Down Easy
Hot on her heels is Jo Han-chul, holding second place with 1,936 votes (20.6%). While there’s a near 2,000-vote gap between him and Jung, pundits aren’t counting him out just yet. Thanks to his busy schedule across both film and television, Jo could stage a late surge.
Mid-Tier Actors Hold Their Ground
Coming in third is Kim Won-hae with 1,006 votes (10.7%), showcasing reliable support from his loyal fanbase. Other top contenders include Choi Soo-jong (610 votes), Uhm Jung-hwa (435 votes), and Lee Byung-hun (345 votes)—all familiar faces bringing star wattage to the competition.
Veteran Scene-Stealers Make Their Mark
In the lower rankings, beloved actors like Chae Shi-ra, Yoo Hae-jin, Kim Kap-soo, and Kim Jung-nan have each pulled in over 100 votes. Middle-aged favorites like Sung Dong-il, Ahn Nae-sang, and Han Suk-kyu also appear in the lineup, proving that Hallyu’s golden generation still has plenty of fan power.
A Stage for Respect, Not Just Popularity
What sets this competition apart? It’s not a flashy idol vote—this is about respect. Fans are honoring careers built on gravitas, emotional range, and memorable roles. Call it “an Oscars by public heart,” where the applause comes directly from the audience.
Will Jung Young-joo Seal the Deal?
With the month’s final votes looming, all eyes are on whether Jung can hold her crown. Will she clinch the ‘Best Actor’ prize to end July with a bang, or will a late-game twist from Jo Han-chul or Kim Won-hae flip the script? Fans—this one’s on you.
Stay tuned and vote wisely. After all, who doesn’t love a last-minute plot twist?
