Fan Power on Full Display in June’s Netizen Awards
On June 26, 2025, at 6:16 PM KST, singer Hwang Young-woong emerged as the frontrunner in the June Netizen Awards for Best Male Singer, having secured 81,985 votes. With fewer than 18,000 votes left to hit the symbolic 100,000 mark, attention is turning to whether he can reach this milestone by the end of the voting period.
This round of voting carries particular significance as it represents the grand finale of the first half of the year. The ability of each fandom to strategically mobilize support will be a decisive factor. Hwang continues to hold onto the top spot with a vote share of 41.0%.
Fierce Competition from Rising Contenders
The battle is far from over. Park Jihyun is close behind in second place with 22,390 votes, and Son Taejin isn’t far off either with 20,063 votes—a tight race among the top contenders. In fact, ranks 2 through 7 are spaced within just 10,000 to 20,000 votes, keeping the mid-tier battle wide open for potential shake-ups.
Despite Hwang’s consistent performance, even a shift of a few thousand votes in a short period could narrow the gap significantly. His fans will need to maintain focus and momentum through the final stretch.
More Than Just Rankings—A Show of Fandom Unity
What makes this competition particularly compelling is how it goes beyond mere numbers. It’s a testament to each fandom’s strategy and unity. Whether Hwang Young-woong will cross the 100,000 vote threshold or if an underdog will stage a dramatic comeback remains uncertain.
As voting continues, all eyes are on the dedicated fans who hold the power to shape the outcome.
