Hwang Youngwoong Soars in Fan Voting
Korean singer Hwang Youngwoong is crushing the competition in the August Netizen Awards for Best Male Singer. As of August 13 at 3:51 PM KST, he’s racked up 38,399 votes—an impressive 43.2% of all ballots cast.
His nearest competition? Son Taejin, trailing far behind with just 11,318 votes (12.7%). That’s a jaw-dropping gap of over 27,000 votes. Talk about a landslide.
The Race for 100K Begins
With the 10,000-vote wall comfortably behind him and nearly 40,000 votes under his belt, Hwang is now approaching another symbolic milestone: 100,000 total votes.
This isn’t just bragging rights. In past contests, fans have pulled off massive mid-campaign voting surges—the kind that turn underdogs into legends. And with half the month still to go, the fandom’s momentum could redefine this contest.
Mid-Tier Battles and Fan Power
While Hwang dominates, it’s a tighter race for the spots behind him. Park Jihyun (8,409 votes), Enok (6,529 votes), and Jang Minho (6,406 votes) are still battling in the mid-tier, but none pose an immediate threat to the front-runner.
Still, anything can happen in K-pop fan culture—a place where one tweet or trending hashtag can send voting numbers skyrocketing overnight.
All Eyes on the Fans
It’s no longer just about staying on top. The talk of the competition now centers on whether Hwang’s team can break the six-figure vote count. For that, daily votes matter more than ever.
“We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again,” one fan commented in a voting forum. “Let’s get our superstar to 100K!”
With half the month left and momentum on their side, Hwang Youngwoong’s fans are rewriting what’s possible in online fan-driven awards. The countdown is on: 100K or bust.
