Fan Power Heats Up at October Netizen Awards
The race is officially on. The October edition of the Netizen Awards is already setting fandoms on fire, especially in the singer categories—where two names are pulling way ahead of the rest.
Hwang Youngwoong Tops Male Singer Category
As of midnight on October 4, trot singer Hwang Youngwoong is leading the male singer category with 7,819 votes—an impressive 36.4% of the total. His fanbase is showing serious commitment, locking him into a comfortable first place position early on.
But right beneath him? A cloud of contenders battling it out on a much closer scale. Son Binna currently sits in second with 2,193 votes (10.2%), followed closely by Son Taejin (1,912 votes, 8.9%) and Jinwon (1,828 votes, 8.5%). Even the fifth to seventh place rankings—featuring Hong Isaac, Enoch, and Jang Minho—are within striking distance. That means one big fan campaign could totally shake up the ranks overnight.
Jung Seojoo Leads the Female Pack
Over in the female category, it’s Jung Seojoo who’s taking the crown—for now. With 5,079 votes (44.6%), she’s ahead by a wide margin and her fans aren’t budging.
Still, competition is brewing. My Jin is holding steady in second with 2,016 votes (17.7%), while Bin Yeseo isn’t far behind at 1,584 votes (13.9%). As voter turnout shifts and fandoms ramp up efforts, tomorrow’s ranks could look very different.
Meanwhile, artists like Kim Dahyun, Kang Hayeon, and Yang Jieun are stirring up the middle tier with vote shares ranging from 4.0% to 5.4%—making the female race just as unpredictable.
Key Takeaways: It’s Still Anyone’s Game
While both Hwang Youngwoong and Jung Seojoo have built early leads, their reigns aren’t set in stone. The Netizen Awards have a reputation for dramatic leaderboard flips—especially when loyal fandoms kick into high gear.
With the gap between 2nd and 7th place razor-thin, this month’s awards might come down to who can mobilize their fans fastest. Stay tuned—October’s not over yet.
