A New Challenger Emerges
As of October 4 at 8:49 PM KST, the monthly Netizen Awards Grand Prix took a surprising twist. Singer Choon Gil, a recent entrant into the competition, landed in 6th place with 2,135 votes (5.3%), stunning fans and narrowing the gap with the top contenders.
The Battle for the Top Rages On
While the leading spots are currently dominated by Hwang Youngwoong (24.8%, 9,979 votes) and Jung Seojoo (16.4%, 6,605 votes), the mid-tier rankings are heating up. Just above Choon Gil are Son Bina (2,832 votes), Myjin (2,463 votes), and Son Taejin (2,407 votes)—only a few hundred votes ahead. That means one major fan mobilization could easily catapult Choon Gil into the Top 3.
Upward Momentum That Matters
What’s striking isn’t just Choon Gil’s current rank but the clear momentum behind him. In this round of voting, his numbers have steadily climbed—a sign that fans are waking up and rallying.
Rivals like Liberante (1,911 votes) and Bin Yeseo (1,881 votes) are still in the chase, but Choon Gil’s trajectory suggests he’s not just keeping pace—he’s aiming for a leapfrog.
Strong Finish Could Change Everything
The Netizen Awards are known for dramatic turnarounds in the final hours of voting, so Choon Gil’s strategic 6th-place position could be the perfect springboard. If his fandom doubles down now, a spot in the Top 3 this October could be more than a fantasy—it could be the next viral headline.
From Underdog to Fandom Favorite?
October’s biggest wildcard might be the groundswell of support for Choon Gil. Whether this is a momentary surge or the beginning of a long-term chart climb is anyone’s guess—but either way, fans are watching, clicking, and voting.
