Kim Jihoon Tops Voting in 2025 Neo Star Awards
As of July 10 at 1:15 PM KST, K-pop idol Kim Jihoon of the group Liberante is leading the Neo Star Awards with 8,831 votes, accounting for 32.3% of the total. His lead over the second-place nominee, Son Bina (8,602 votes, 31.4%), is slim—only 229 votes—making the race incredibly tight.
A Month Full of Milestones
This July holds even more significance for Kim Jihoon. On July 21, he is set to complete his military service, and coincidentally, it’s also his birthday. If he secures the top spot in the Neo Star Awards, fans say it’ll be the perfect trifecta, calling him “the true star of July.”
Fans Share Their Excitement
Messages of support have flooded in from fans eagerly anticipating his return. One fan wrote, “The memory of Liberante’s concert right before enlistment still brings me chills. I can’t wait to go to their next concert. Happy birthday and discharge day, Jihoon!”
Another added, “We’ve been waiting so long for Jihoon’s return. July is truly his month—birthday, discharge, and a potential win!”
The fans aren’t just hoping for a voting win—they’re looking forward to the full comeback of Liberante, reunited on stage for the first time in years.
The Race Isn’t Over Yet
While Kim Jihoon leads, Son Bina is close behind, and the rankings could change at any moment. Still, the fan energy surrounding Jihoon shows no signs of slowing.
With the vote still open, July promises to be a month to remember—a month when Kim Jihoon and his fans may celebrate discharge, birthday, and victory all in one unforgettable moment.
