Netizen Awards 2025: A Fan-Powered Showdown
If you’re thinking awards season is months away, think again. August is ablaze with fan passion as the 2025 Netizen Awards for Best Female Singer enters a pivotal stage, and two names—MyJin and Beenyesuh—are locked in a showdown that could rival a K-drama finale.
Down to the Last Two Votes
As of 4:30 p.m. on August 6, Jung Seojoo leads comfortably with 10,915 votes, almost 42% of the total. But the real drama? It’s the neck-and-neck race for second place. MyJin holds 4,628 votes (17.7%), while Beenyesuh trails by just two votes at 4,626—same percentage, different digit count. If you thought last month’s race was a nail-biter, August just said “hold my mic.”
Flashback to July: Rivalry Rewind
This rivalry didn’t pop up overnight. Last month, Beenyesuh edged out MyJin with 22,478 to 21,674 votes, a mere 804-vote difference. Back then, fans watched the leaderboard obsessively as rankings seesawed daily. Now, we’re watching history repeat itself.
The Power of Fandom
Experts say the 2nd place tug-of-war reflects not just popularity, but fan loyalty. “It’s a matter of who can rally harder, faster, and louder,” one fan commented on social media. With both singers having started this month strong, their fandoms are unofficially in turbo mode.
Others in the Mix
Meanwhile, don’t count out the rest of the top five. Kim Dahyun and Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM are holding steady with just over 4% of the vote each. Trot queens like Yang Jieun, Song Gain, and Kang Hye-yeon are staying visible in the rankings, proving the genre’s staying power among digital natives.
What’s Next?
With the August race only halfway through, the question isn’t just who will break away first—MyJin or Beenyesuh—but whether any of these contenders can close the gap on front-runner Jung Seojoo. If there’s anything K-pop has taught us, it’s that nothing is over ’til the final vote is counted.
So… who’s your pick? May the best fandom win.
