Weekend to Decide July’s Netizen Awards Leaders
The July 2025 edition of the Netizen Awards enters a critical weekend stretch, setting the stage for fierce fan-led battles. With the results likely to be determined by weekend voting trends, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch among fans and nominees alike.
Weekend Votes Could Flip the Rankings
As of Friday, July 11, voting trends show no clear front-runner in several tightly contested categories. The determining factor? Weekend participation. Not just another voting day, the weekend may redefine the trajectory of July’s awards. Fanbases are mobilizing for ‘total war,’ with planned vote surges expected in peak weekend hours.
Spotlight on Male Actor Award: A Three-Way Battle
The Male Actor of the Month is too close to call. Na In-woo, Lee Junho, and Jang Keun-suk are virtually neck-and-neck, with less than a one-percent point difference separating them. The result will hinge on which fan group shows the most dedication and focus over the weekend.
Mid-tier Contenders Hope for a Weekend Turnaround
Fanbases in the mid-ranks are pinning their hopes on this weekend’s votes to break their weekday stagnation. Many have shifted from a routine voting strategy to full-blown campaigns in an attempt to shake the leaderboard.
