Fan Voting Turns the Tables at Netizen Awards
The 2025 July Netizen Awards are witnessing unexpected twists as familiar rankings begin to shift. As of July 10, the fierce competition is no longer just about who’s on top—it’s now about who can maintain their momentum until the end.
From Clear Leaders to Close Margins
Some categories have narrowed to margins of less than 1,000 votes, making it entirely possible for even a single day’s voting to flip the rankings. Former frontrunners are finding it difficult to hold their lead as new challengers surge forward with renewed support.
This trend reveals that voters aren’t simply favoring the most dominant names anymore. Instead, fans are rallying around lesser-known contenders, perhaps in a show of support for underdogs or as a last-minute push in crucial moments.
Best Actress Battle: Jung So Min vs. Lim Yoon A
The Best Actress category is currently one of the most hotly contested. Actresses Jung So Min and Lim Yoon A are locked in a razor-thin showdown for third place, and their positions could change at any time. With weeks left in the month, fans are on high alert as each vote could tip the scales.
