Kim Hye-yoon Makes a Winning Comeback
In June 2025, the Netizen Awards for Best Actress turned up the heat with a fierce round of voting and a surprising twist. Kim Hye-yoon dominated the polls, earning 55,259 votes, which accounted for 58.8% of the total — bringing her back to the top after previously ceding her position to Jung Seobin in April and Hyeri in May. Her dramatic return within just three months highlighted the resilience of her fanbase and reaffirmed her status as a rising star in the acting world.
The results reflect more than just numbers; they tell a story of loyalty and renewed trust between the star and her fans. With this victory, supporters not only celebrated her achievement but were motivated to keep the momentum going, hinting at a bright future ahead, especially if Kim unveils a new drama or film.
Close Competition Among Top Stars
Trailing behind Kim, Hyeri came in second with 11,834 votes (12.6%), a noticeable decrease from her commanding 120,000-plus votes in May. While the drop suggested a shift in voting dynamics, Hyeri’s sizeable fanbase still kept her comfortably in the top tier.
Coming in third was Jung So-min with 5,258 votes (5.6%), rising in the ranks thanks to steady support. Lee Se-young (4,238 votes), and Im Yoon-ah (3,403 votes) followed as fourth and fifth respectively, both backed by loyal fandoms that ensured their presence among the frontrunners.
Mid-Ranking Stars Compete for the Spotlight
The rankings from sixth to tenth featured strong mid-tier competition. Shin Hye-sun (3,044 votes), Hwang Jung-eum (2,738), Kim Ji-won (2,664), Park Eun-bin (1,904), and Ahn Eun-jin (1,084) all showed consistent performance, reflecting the broad fan engagement across the field.
Meanwhile, positions eleven through twenty remained competitive and diverse, with Han Sun-hwa, Kim Yoo-jung, Jung Soo-bin, Son Ye-jin, and Jeon Yeo-bin among the many actresses who garnered votes — some as gestures of long-term support, and others as emerging favorites to watch.
More Than Just a Popularity Contest
This month’s outcome felt less like a popularity poll and more like a journey of redemption and reconnection. Kim Hye-yoon’s return to the top was seen as a testament to restored confidence from her fans, while her ongoing race with Hyeri leaves the door open for another exciting showdown next month.
With July just around the corner, fans are already gearing up, ready to cast their votes and propel their favorite actresses into the spotlight. The drama behind the awards, it seems, is just as thrilling as the ones on screen.
