Kim Hyeyoon Claims Top Spot at 2025 Netizen Awards
[CBC News] Actress Kim Hyeyoon is making waves in the June 2025 Netizen Awards, dominating not only the Best Actress category but also leading across all categories. As of 4:27 p.m. on June 3, Kim had secured 11,304 votes (60.3%), significantly outpacing second-place competitor Hyeri, who trailed with 4,802 votes (25.6%).
More Than Just a Category Winner
What makes this feat even more remarkable is Kim’s overall ranking: she currently holds the No.1 position across the entire awards lineup. This marks her return to the summit since June 2024, making this a symbolic achievement in her growing career.
Back-to-Back Powerhouse Performances
Just last month, Hyeri had impressed fans by simultaneously leading both her category and the overall rankings. Should Kim maintain her lead this month, it would mark two consecutive months where the Best Actress category also produced the overall winner—a clear testament to the rising influence of actress fanbases and the stars’ mass appeal.
Shining Bright Amidst the Trot Craze
Kim’s surge in popularity is even more striking given the continued dominance of trot singers in other categories like Best Album and Best Model. Nevertheless, female actors like Kim are proving their star power through this award, emerging as frontrunners despite competing trends.
Her Acting Speaks Louder
Kim has broken away from being a consistent top-tier nominee to commanding the stage with dedicated fans and critically acclaimed performances. Her name has become synonymous with quality, as many now view her involvement as a guarantee of a strong production.
Looking Ahead: Is She the Star of the Season?
The June edition of the Netizen Awards rounds out the first half of the entertainment awards season. Hence, the results could symbolize the broader sentiments of the 2025 first half. All eyes are now on Kim Hyeyoon to see if she will crown her achievement by sweeping both her category and the all-around title, asserting her status as the standout actress of the year.
