13 Months Strong: Jung Seo-joo Tops Once Again
K-pop soloist Jung Seo-joo is clearly not here for short-term fame. In July 2025, she took the No.1 spot in the Netizen Awards’ Female Singer category for an incredible 13th month in a row—with 46,224 votes (39.4%). That’s more than a streak—it’s a statement.
Although her vote count dipped slightly compared to the previous month, the gap between her and the runner-up remained significant. Seo-joo’s consistent popularity is more than just fans clicking repeatedly—it’s the reflection of a fandom that’s deeply rooted, fiercely loyal, and incredibly organized.
Who’s Climbing the Ranks?
Right on Jung’s heels is Bin Ye-seo, who landed in second with 22,478 votes (19.2%), rising one spot from last month. Following closely was My Jin in third with 21,674 votes (18.5%). Both artists are stepping up as serious contenders, thanks to their solid fanbases and steady public appeal.
The rest of the top six saw familiar favorites: Kim Da-hyun (4.9%), Yang Ji-eun (4.1%), and Song Ga-in (3.9%)—each celebrated for blending traditional Korean musicality with mainstream resonance.
Middle Tier Still Making Noise
From ranks 7 to 10 were Kang Hye-yeon, Hong Ji-yoon, Jeon Yoo-jin, and Hong Ja, whose efforts are clearly paying off. Amid broadcast appearances and live fan interactions, these artists continue to keep their seats warm in the top 10 with stable vote shares.
Honorable Mentions and New Entries
Miss Kim and LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha shared the 1.1% bracket, becoming new members of the coveted “1,000 Votes Club.” Kazuha’s appearance here signals the quiet but growing presence of K-pop idols in solo rankings driven by individual star power.
Rounding out the list were singers like Kim So-yeon, Kim Tae-yeon, and the ever-iconic IU, with idol nods sprinkled in by VIVIZ’s Eunha and NewJeans’ Minji.
What’s Behind Jung Seo-joo’s Unshakable Reign?
This 13-month dominance isn’t a coincidence. It’s about sustained activity, constant contact with fans, and the mechanics of a highly organized fandom. In K-pop, fan loyalty is practically its own genre, and Jung Seo-joo’s success proves how powerful that synergy can be.
As new names rise and fan strategies evolve, August already looks set for another intense showdown. But for now, it’s Seo-joo’s world—and everyone else is just trying to catch up.
