Son Bin-ah Surges in September Netizen Awards
Move over, K-trot kings—Son Bin-ah is charging into the spotlight once again. After clinching the top spot at last month’s Neostar Awards, this rising sensation is now making waves in the September Netizen Awards for Best Male Singer.
Who is Son Bin-ah, and why is everyone talking about him?
If Son Bin-ah’s name hasn’t hit your radar yet, pay attention. The fresh-faced K-trot artist—an increasingly trendy genre often compared to Korea’s version of retro-pop or country—has been showcasing serious fan power. With each performance, he’s proving that he’s more than just a one-hit wonder from the talent circuit.
Son recently topped the Neostar Awards, a fan-driven spotlight platform recognizing rising talents. This month, he’s back in the game, competing for the coveted Male Singer Award, and fans are clearly here for it.
Breaking the leaderboard: Current voting rankings
As of 10:09 AM on September 1, 2025, Son Bin-ah is holding strong in second place. He has secured 456 votes, making up 13.8% of the total. Not bad for someone who just joined the race.
Meanwhile, Hwang Young-woong sits in a comfortable first position with 1270 votes (38.5%). But what makes this interesting is that Son is edging past some seasoned fan favorites—and fast.
Familiar names, new threats
The competition is fierce. Here’s how the current top 5 are stacked:
- 1st – Hwang Young-woong: 1270 votes (38.5%)
- 2nd – Son Bin-ah: 456 votes (13.8%)
- 3rd – Son Tae-jin: 309 votes (9.4%)
- 4th – Jang Min-ho: 242 votes (7.3%)
- 5th – Enoch: 239 votes (7.2%)
Despite the tight margins between 3rd to 5th place, Son Bin-ah has managed to leap past these established names. That alone speaks volumes about how rapidly his fanbase is growing—and activating.
The fan phenomenon: From Neostar to Netizen Awards
Son Bin-ah’s momentum didn’t just appear out of nowhere. At the Neostar Awards in August, he came in first, signaling a surge of support from grassroots fans and online communities. This month, his campaign continues with fans mobilizing across voting platforms, forums, and social media.
Whether it’s through Telegram voting alerts or dedicated stan accounts, Bin-ah’s fandom is acting like a full-fledged promotional team. His swift rise shows how artist-fan synergy can really dominate these kinds of popularity-driven contests.
Can he catch Hwang Young-woong?
The numbers suggest a steep climb, with over 800 votes still separating the two top contenders. But don’t count Son out just yet. K-pop and K-trot history is packed with comeback stories, and fanbases have pulled off voting miracles before.
The big question: Can Son Bin-ah sustain this pace and pull off a last-minute upset? Even if he doesn’t dethrone Hwang Young-woong, one thing’s certain—he has solidified his status as a serious new force in the trot scene.
