Rising Star Jeong Seo-joo Is Blazing Through July
As July winds down, Jeong Seo-joo isn’t just weathering the summer heat—she’s owning it. The rising trot singer has taken a commanding lead in the Netizen Awards’ Female Artist category, riding high on a tidal wave of fan support. As of July 25, 4:19 PM KST, she’s racked up an impressive 34,638 votes, capturing a substantial 38.1% of the total—leaving her closest rivals in the dust.
Fan Votes Heat Up as Temperatures Soar
Despite the sweltering weather, fans are actively clicking away online, proving that loyalty knows no season. Jeong Seo-joo hasn’t surrendered the top spot once this month, solidifying her spot as the face of trot’s next generation. The voting graph basically looks like a heatwave—fitting, right?
Trailing Behind, But Still in the Game
Right behind her, we’ve got My Jin with 17,240 votes (18.9%) and Bin Ye-seo neck-and-neck at 17,197 votes (18.9%). Although they’re fighting a tight battle for second, they’re still nearly 17,000 votes behind Jeong—ouch.
Others in the top six include Kim Da-hyun (4,707 votes), Yang Ji-eun (3,887), and trot queen Song Ga-in (3,673), all staying solid in mid-tier rankings. Further down, fan-favorites like Kang Hye-yeon, Hong Ji-yoon, LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha, and Hong Ja are still holding their own.
Crossover Fan Power: Trot vs. Idol
One of the most exciting trends? It’s not just trot fans showing up. Idol-style fanbases are mixing into the ranks too, thanks to artists like Kazuha stepping into the spotlight. This cross-genre buzz signals a shift where K-pop and trot fandoms are beginning to blur. Even in such a varied field, Jeong Seo-joo has firmly secured her lead, hinting that her popularity transcends genre lines.
Eyes on August—Can She Go All the Way?
Her steady lead throughout July suggests one thing: the Seo-joo train isn’t stopping anytime soon. With August just around the corner, fans aren’t cooling off—they’re gearing up for another fierce month of digital cheering.
So, the question isn’t whether Jeong Seo-joo will win—it’s whether anyone can catch up.
