One Click Could Change Everything
It’s July 20, 2025, and fans are on the edge of their seats as the monthly Netizen Awards enter their nail-biting final stretch. With only a few days to go, nothing is set in stone—and that’s exactly how fans like it.
Despite some categories appearing locked in, the numbers tell a different story. In several areas, fewer than 500 votes separate the #1 and #2 spots. That means a single unified fan push could flip the rankings overnight.
Korean Icons Lead the Charge
In the coveted Grand Star Award category, music legend Jo Yongpil holds the lead. Right behind him is the ever-iconic pop diva Kim Wansun, followed by rock vocalist Kim Kyungho. This trio of K-pop pioneers is proving that age is just a number.
Category Leaders… for Now
As of midnight on July 20, here’s how some major categories are stacking up:
- Best Male Singer: Hwang Youngwoong
- Best Female Singer: Jung Seo Joo
- Album of the Month: Hwang Youngwoong – Knitted Sweater
- Top Group: Forte di Quattro
- Best Actor: Byeon Woo Seok
- Best Actress: Kim Hye Yoon
- Best Drama: tvN’s Run Away with Sunjae
- Top Movie: The Girl on the Bulldozer
- Best New Star: Liberante’s Kim Jihoon
It’s Anyone’s Game
Even lower-tier ranks are shifting. One nominee jumped from #6 to #4 overnight. That’s the power of fan clicks. As the countdown continues, fanbases are mobilizing—and strategizing.
The finale? Unpredictable. The twist? Only fans can write it.
Fan Wisdom: “One Day Can Change The Game”
If there’s one thing the Netizen Awards teach us every month, it’s this: numbers don’t lie, but they also change fast.
From rookies like Son Bina and Liberante, to cultural cornerstones like EBS mascot Pengsoo and sports stars like Heo Woong and An Seyoung, the awards reflect the full spectrum of Korean celebrity culture.
So, who will finish on top? You decide—with a click.
