Jung Seo-joo Surges Back to No.1
As the 2025 May Netizen Awards for Female Artist enters its second half, the competition has taken a dramatic turn. K-pop singer Jung Seo-joo has made a stunning comeback to claim the top spot, signaling the return of a fan-favorite queen.
Though Jung had initially topped the April rankings, she seemed to slow down in early May, dropping to fourth place. However, her fanbase staged a quiet and calculated push. By 1:12 p.m. on May 4, she surged ahead with 3,956 votes (27.2%), marking a dramatic shift that shook the leaderboard.
Close Behind: Binnie Seo and Eun Ga-eun
The competition is far from over. Hot on Jung’s heels is Binnie Seo, who secured 3,262 votes (22.4%) to land in second place. Not far behind is Eun Ga-eun with 2,055 votes (14.1%), proving their loyal fan bases remain active and engaged.
Both artists have consistently held top-tier spots since the beginning of the month, and the current gap could close with just one wave of concentrated voting.
Rising Stars and Unpredictable Turns
Mai Jin, currently in fourth place with 1,811 votes (12.5%), is still within striking distance. Trot stars like Kim Da-hyun (5th), Yang Ji-eun (6th), and Song Ga-in (7th) may also climb the ranks in the coming days, adding more excitement to the evolving vote count.
Song Ga-in, a perennial powerhouse in the trot scene, might shake things up depending on late-stage momentum. Holding 554 votes (3.8%), she’s still maintaining her presence on the chart and could act as a surprise variable in this dynamic race.
Fandom Power and Strategy Rule the Game
This month’s race to crown the May Queen goes beyond popularity—it’s a test of fan strategy, cohesion, and staying power. With every platform vote potentially rewriting history, fans are closely watching each shift in the rankings.
Will Jung Seo-joo maintain her lead? Or will a late-stage contender overturn the rankings once again? One thing is clear: the battle is heating up, and the final moments of voting may determine who writes the next chapter in Netizen Awards history.
