Forte di Quattro Clinches Top Spot in June’s Netizen Awards
The crossover vocal group Forte di Quattro emerged victorious in the June 2025 Netizen Awards, claiming first place in the ‘Best Group’ category with 20,582 votes, accounting for 34.6% of the total. Surpassing their close rivals Fortena, who came in second place with 18,283 votes (30.8%), the result marked a highly emotional turn in their ongoing fan-fueled rivalry.
A Rivalry Beyond Competition
The two vocal quartets have engaged in a nail-biting battle for months. Just last month, Forte di Quattro narrowly lost to Fortena by only 272 votes. This time, they reversed the outcome with a margin of about 2,000 votes. More than just rankings, their rivalry symbolizes the passion and loyalty of the crossover music fandom, highlighting both vocal artistry and fan dedication.
Other Notable Rankings
Coming in third was Libertante, accumulating 12,091 votes (20.3%), further solidifying their place with a distinctive musical style and consistent fan support. Rounding out the top five were La Poem (2,216 votes, 3.7%) and Forestella (2,141 votes, 3.6%), proving the ongoing popularity of crossover vocal groups.
In sixth place, indie band Jannabi (1,275 votes, 2.1%) stood out for their signature storytelling-driven sound. Other groups in the top ten included N.Flying (7th, 1,092 votes), Plave (8th, 428 votes), SF9 (9th, 379 votes), and global icons BTS (10th, 300 votes).
Global K-pop Heavyweights Make the List
While dominate crossover groups led the rankings, renowned K-pop acts still made their presence known. NewJeans (224 votes), Seventeen (91), BLACKPINK (62), TWICE (60), and more showed that girl group power remains strong—even with lower rankings this month.
A Reflection of Fan Passion and Speed
This month’s results go far beyond just numbers. They reflect the intensity, speed, and depth of fandom responses. Especially between Forte di Quattro and Fortena, voting was far more than a popularity contest—it showcased the power of musical empathy and emotional connection. With July’s competition just around the corner, anticipation is already building for what story fan votes will tell next.
More than anything, this award was proof that music, emotion, and a loyal fanbase can strike a chord that resonates far beyond rankings. As crossover continues to rise, its artists and fans are composing new narratives—and everyone is listening.
