The Battle for Second Place Heats Up
Park Jihyun, runner-up of ‘Mr. Trot 2’, is making waves once again. As of August 23, 11:39 p.m. KST, Park ranks third in the August Netizen Awards for Male Singer with 13,324 votes (8.8%). Leading the pack is Hwang Youngwoong with 65,939 votes (43.5%), followed by Son Taejin in second place with 18,910 votes (12.5%). But Park isn’t backing down without a fight.
Can He Reclaim His Former Glory?
Last month, Park impressed fans by finishing second in the same category, solidifying his presence as a fan favorite. Now, he’s only around 5,000 votes behind Son Taejin, making the race for second place even more intense. With Park facing pressure from both above and below—fourth place Jang Minho has 11,676 votes (7.7%), and fifth place Enoch sits close behind with 11,335 votes (7.5%)—there’s little room for error.
Fan Power Could Change Everything
Park’s destiny lies in the hands of his loyal fanbase. Their united voting efforts helped him rise to second last month, but the game has gotten trickier. It’s no longer just about showing up—it’s about timing, strategy, and momentum. Every vote counts more than ever in this nail-biting showdown.
More Than Just Numbers
If Park manages to reclaim 2nd place, it won’t just be a rankings win. It would be a full-circle moment, a reaffirmation of both his popularity and the strength of his fandom. In a race where the top 5 are separated by just a few thousand votes, this isn’t over until the last click.
As voting continues, all eyes are on whether Park Jihyun can rewrite his own sequel—a comeback that’s both statistically impressive and emotionally satisfying.
