Hwang Youngwoong Commands the Lead with 40.1%
Forget the photo finishes—when it comes to the 2025 Netizen Awards, Hwang Youngwoong is way ahead of the pack. As of July 29 at 2:44 p.m. KST, Hwang has secured 81,054 votes, accounting for a jaw-dropping 40.1% of the total. He’s not just leading—he’s practically in a different league.
Park Jihyun and Son Taejin in a Close Fight for Second
The real battle is playing out a few rungs down. Park Jihyun (11.6%) and Son Taejin (11.1%) are neck-and-neck, separated by just 800 votes. With the competition this tight, even a modest surge in fan votes could flip second place in a heartbeat.
Mid-Rankers on the Rise: Watch Out for a Shake-Up
Trailing them are Enok (7.4%) and Jinwon (6.5%), followed closely by Jang Minho (6.4%). With margins this slim, there’s still room for an upset in the upper-mid tier. It’s anyone’s game until the last ballot is cast.
Lower Rankings Still in Flux
The competition heats up further down the chart, too. Hong Isaac (3.9%), Park Chang-geun (3.1%), and Jeong Dongwon (2.8%) are battling it out in the lower tiers. Here, the organization of each fandom could be the game-changer going into the final days.
Underdogs Aiming for a Late Comeback
Don’t rule out the contenders just outside the top 10. Park Seojin, Ahn Seonghoon, Youngtak, Seo Youngtaek, and Kang Hyungho are all within striking distance, while fan-favorites like Lee Chanwon, Park Hyo-shin, and Jannabi’s Choi Junghoon are quietly amassing support in hopes of a dramatic late-game reversal.
Final Verdict Pending: It’s Not Over Until It’s Over
With July coming to a close, one thing’s crystal clear—Hwang Youngwoong is dominating. But in the chaotic mid and lower ranks, nothing is set in stone. Fan communities are going all out, and the leaderboard could shift at any moment. Buckle up, because this race isn’t over until the final click.
