Hwang Youngwoong Holds Strong Lead in June Netizen Awards
[CBC News] As of 11 PM on June 27, Hwang Youngwoong is dominating the June Netizen Awards in the Best Male Artist category. With 85,466 votes (41.1%), he maintains a commanding lead over second-place Park Jihyun, who has 23,213 votes (11.2%). That’s a gap of more than 60,000 votes.
Fandom Power Proves Consistent
While the numbers seem decisive, Hwang’s lead isn’t just about raw votes. It reflects the consistent engagement and loyalty of his fan base—a force that has helped him secure multiple top spots in the past. His fandom knows how to mobilize, and this month’s strategic and steady voting has kept him safely ahead without resorting to frantic last-minute pushes.
Other Artists Picking Up the Pace
Challengers like Park Jihyun (11.2%) and Son Taejin (10.0%) continue to gain traction, surpassing 20,000 votes each. Despite their efforts, the top ranks haven’t shifted much as Hwang’s votes roll in at a stable pace.
Fresh contenders like Enoch (6.7%), Jinwon (5.7%), Seo Youngtaek (5.3%), and Jang Minho (5.3%) are heating things up in the mid-tier rankings, with each crossing the 10,000-vote mark. While a major upset looks unlikely, the momentum of these late risers keeps the race exciting.
A Strategic Final Stretch
With only days left in the month, analysts say that strategies like coordinated voting and last-minute surges could still shake things up. Hwang Youngwoong’s impressive tally isn’t just a number—it’s the result of unwavering fan energy throughout the month.
But winning isn’t guaranteed. The final question is: Can Hwang’s fans maintain this momentum until the very end?
In other words, it’s not just about starting strong—it’s about finishing stronger.
