The Underdogs Are In
As of August 1, 2025 (KST), the July edition of the Netizen Awards took an exciting turn. Rising singers Myjin and Son Bina have officially entered the competition for Album of the Month, bringing fresh energy—and fan fervor—into the mix.
Off to a Modest Start
Myjin’s latest track “Love Recall” earned her the 18th spot with a modest 3 votes (0.1%), while Son Bina’s “Irony” debuted at 20th place with no votes—yet. But don’t let the numbers fool you. Both singers are no strangers to chart momentum.
Past Wins, Future Threats
Just last month, Myjin snagged 3rd place in the Female Artist of the Month category, while Son Bina secured a solid 2nd in the Neostar Award segment. Translation? These two have growing fanbases and the kind of grassroots energy that could flip the leaderboard in a heartbeat.
Fan Power Meets Music Quality
“Love Recall” has been praised for its upbeat rhythm and Myjin’s signature emotional flair. Meanwhile, “Irony” is becoming a sleeper hit among vocal purists, thanks to Son Bina’s deep vocal tone and honest delivery. Fans aren’t just voting—they’re vibing with real musicality.
The Race Isn’t Over—It’s Just Beginning
Unlike traditional awards with set juries, the Netizen Awards thrive on fan participation. As voting intensifies mid-month, a sudden shift in rankings is always on the horizon. With loyal fandoms starting to mobilize, both artists could become the surprise dark horses of this month’s race.
What’s Next?
While Myjin and Son Bina currently trail the frontrunners, their past performances and growing buzz suggest a potential chart comeback. Who will rise and who will stall? Stay tuned—K-pop’s ever-evolving vote-based drama continues.
