Jeong Seo-joo Reigns, Kazuha Surges in Female Artist Poll
The Queen holds her throne—for the 14th time. In August’s Netizen Awards for Best Female Artist, Jeong Seo-joo once again took the crown with 47,956 votes (38.1%), proving that fan loyalty isn’t just strong—it’s bulletproof.
The Unshakable Queen: Jeong Seo-joo’s Winning Streak Continues
For over a year, Jeong Seo-joo has been untouchable in the Netizen Awards. Her 14-month streak at the top isn’t just about numbers—it’s about unwavering fans, consistent performances, and a personal brand that resonates deep in fans’ hearts. In a fandom-driven era, her reign echoes the kind of robust support that many artists only dream of.
It’s not every day that you see someone dominate a popularity poll for over a year. Jeong has built a formidable fanbase that keeps showing up every single month, like clockwork—and it’s paying off.
The Rising Rivals: Myjin and Binnie Yeseo Shake Things Up
Still, no crown stays secure forever. Myjin swooped into second place with 23,528 votes (18.7%), while Bin Yeseo followed closely with 19,225 votes (15.3%). Their growing numbers hint at a shifting fan landscape where these contenders might start eating into Jeong’s lead.
July’s charts already gave us a glimpse of Binnie Yeseo’s potential to shake things up, and Myjin’s August surge adds another layer of drama. These aren’t just stats; it’s a full-blown storyline of rising stars threatening the empire.
Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM Enters the Chat—Hard
Is a new age of K-pop idols approaching? Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM landed at #4 with a whopping 10,022 votes (8.0%), immediately joining the ’10K Club’ and cracking the coveted Top 5 tier. That’s what you call entering with a bang.
Her sudden rise shows just how much influence K-pop idols now have, even in domains traditionally ruled by trot singers and solo artists. It’s not just about catchy beats—Kazuha’s graceful image and dance-line precision clearly resonate across demographics. The next-gen power is real, and it’s got ballet shoes on.
Stalwarts Hold the Middle—But for How Long?
Holding steady in mid-tier positions were:
- Kim Da-hyun – 5th place (5,935 votes, 4.7%)
- Yang Ji-eun – 6th place (4,269 votes, 3.4%)
- Song Ga-in – 7th place (3,922 votes, 3.1%)
With solid traditional fandoms and solid TV visibility, they represent a dependable backbone in the competition—an oasis of consistency in a shifting fan climate. Chalk it up to long-term brand trust.
Persistent Challengers in the Lower Ranks
From positions 8 to 12, artists with steady fanbases continue their monthly grind:
- Kang Hye-yeon (2,440 votes)
- Hong Ji-yoon (1,660 votes)
- Na-young (1,349 votes)
- Hong Ja (1,229 votes)
- Miss Kim (1,207 votes)
This group may not dominate headlines, but they’re maintaining just enough momentum to suggest potential future leaps—especially with regular TV appearances and touring schedules reinforcing visibility.
Young Guns and Surprise Mentions: Under-the-Radar But Not Forgotten
- Jeon Yoo-jin – 13th (869 votes)
- Kim So-yeon – 14th (825 votes)
- Kim Tae-yeon – 15th (742 votes)
This trio is being hailed by online fans as the “future queens in training.” Though they’re not top-tier—yet—they’re definitely on the radar of industry watchers.
And in what feels like alternate-universe K-pop trivia, even major stars like IU (16th with 386 votes), TWICE’s Tzuyu (19th with 33 votes), and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo (20th with 17 votes) showed up. It’s a reminder that these polls skew toward active promotion, not legacy status.
Fandom Power: The Real MVP
Jeong Seo-joo’s 14-month reign isn’t just about staying famous—it’s about fan accountability, tireless weekly voting, organized support groups, and good old-fashioned dedication. While she remains the reigning queen, faces like Myjin, Binnie Yeseo, and Kazuha prove this kingdom may not stay unchallenged forever.
All eyes are now on September’s tally. Will Jeong continue her royal streak or will a new challenger disrupt K-pop’s unofficial fan-voted monarchy? Either way, we’ll be tuning in—and probably voting.
