Top 5 Trot Singers Face Off in July’s Netizen Awards
Summer may be sizzling, but it’s the mid-tier rankings in the July Netizen Awards that are really heating up. As of July 28, Minsu Hyun, Jinwook, and Chungil find themselves in a tight race for positions 3 through 5 in the Neo Star category for artists.
Minsu Hyun Holds a Steady 3rd Place
Minsu Hyun currently sits comfortably at third with 7,855 votes (10.1%). While he’s trailing behind the 1st and 2nd place contenders, he’s managed to hold his position thanks to consistent support from fans since early July.
The steady climb may not be flashy, but it’s proving effective—like the K-trot version of “slow and steady wins the race.”
Jinwook & Chungil: Neck-and-Neck in a Vote Surge
Coming in at 4th and 5th, respectively, are Jinwook (5,060 votes, 6.5%) and Chungil (4,623 votes, 5.9%). The difference between them? Just 437 votes, making this a photo-finish waiting to happen.
Chungil, in particular, is gaining momentum fast. His recent voting surge has brought him just shy of overtaking Jinwook—and fans are watching the numbers like it’s the finale of Produce 101.
Why the Middle Rankings Matter
While the spotlight often shines on the top contenders, the current shake-up in the middle is just as crucial. If any of these three artists rally their fandoms over the final days, we could see major disruption in the overall leaderboard.
“Every vote counts now,” said a fan on social media. “It’s not just about the crown—it’s about representation and recognition.”
Fan Power Needed Before July 31
The July edition of the Netizen Awards wraps up on July 31. The final stretch is make-or-break, especially for artists on the cusp like Jinwook and Chungil. Once July ends, the slate wipes clean for the fresh start of August’s contest.
