Kazuha Surges to the Top 5
As of 4:55 p.m. on July 4th, Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM has vaulted into 5th place in the 2025 Netizen Awards for Best Female Artist. With 619 votes (3.6%), she’s outpacing her previous performance—climbing the ranks far faster than when she placed 12th last July with 1,251 votes total.
Closing in on the Competition
The current front-runner, Jeong Seoju, holds an impressive lead with 7,344 votes (42.7%). She’s trailed by Bin Yeseo (3,115 votes, 18.1%) and Myjin (2,956 votes, 17.2%). But with just a 143-vote gap between 4th place Kim Dahyun (762 votes, 4.4%) and Kazuha, fans are buzzing about her chances to climb higher.
A Standout Among K-pop Titans
Kazuha’s leap isn’t just a personal win—it’s a rare comeback story in the ultra-competitive K-pop scene. Surprisingly, other major stars like TWICE’s Tzuyu (3 votes) and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo (10 votes) haven’t gained much traction this round. That puts Kazuha in an elite, standout position among big-name idols.
What’s Fueling the Rise?
Kazuha’s rapid rise may be thanks to strategic fan support and her growing global appeal within the LE SSERAFIM brand. The group’s polished image, fierce choreography, and international flair—Kazuha herself was a classical ballerina trained in Japan and the Netherlands—set her apart from the crowd.
The Road Ahead: Can She Keep It Up?
The question now is: can Kazuha keep this momentum going? With fandom activity often peaking mid-contest, her final standing may come down to how united her supporters are in the second half. One thing’s clear: Kazuha has arrived, and she’s not just another pretty face in the fifth-gen idol flood.
