Byun Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon in the Spotlight
On June 9, 2025, the Netizen Awards—known for their unpredictable results—are turning out to be just as dramatic as a K-drama plot twist. Rankings that once seemed solid are rapidly changing, with narrow margins making each vote count more than ever.
As of now, top honors for Male Actor go to Byun Woo-seok, while Kim Hye-yoon leads the Female Actor category. The continued dominance of these two actors illustrates the lasting impact of their recent hit K-drama ‘Lovely Runner’ (Korean title: ‘선재 업고 튀어’). Fans are closely watching to see if they can hold their lead through the end of the month.
