Son Taejin Maintains Momentum in 2025 Netizen Awards
SEOUL — Korean vocalist Son Taejin is making waves in the 2025 Netizen Awards Grand Prix standings. As of 5:53 p.m. on June 24, he has secured fifth place with 17,655 votes (6.2%), backed by a consistent wave of dedication from his fans.
Unlike meteoric rises driven by viral moments, Son’s climb has been slow and steady—a testament to the loyalty and intensity of his fanbase. Throughout the first half of the year, he’s held strong in the Broadcasting Awards category, and now he’s gradually expanding his presence in the more competitive Grand Prix division, which includes artists, actors, and celebrities from all genres.
A Race Among Big Names
Currently ahead of Son are Hwang Youngwoong (75,532 votes, 26.7%), Jung Seojoo (56,872 votes, 20.1%), Kim Hyeyoon (28,014 votes, 9.9%), and Park Jihyun (19,912 votes, 7.0%). The gap between Son and fourth-place Park Jihyun, however, is just 1,257 votes—leaving the door wide open for a possible overtaking as voting continues.
Silent but Strong
What makes Son Taejin’s rise noteworthy is that it isn’t driven by flashy headlines, but rather a “silent but strong” strategy. His consistent performances in broadcast appearances and music content have created a steady foundation of support. In an age of short attention spans, Son is proving that persistence pays off.
Whether he’ll climb higher in the 2025 Netizen Awards remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: his journey is powered not just by fame, but by fierce loyalty from his fans. And in a vote-by-click competition, every fan matters.
The Road Ahead
As the Netizen Awards Grand Prix continues, all eyes are on how high Son Taejin can go. Will his quiet momentum topple the current front-runners? With his fans clicking in full force, this might just become one of the most compelling comeback stories of the year.
