‘The Girl on a Bulldozer’ Tops Film Awards Once Again
The April 2025 Netizen Awards concluded last month, naming the film ‘The Girl on a Bulldozer’ as the best in the film category with a commanding 15,322 votes—an impressive 51.1% of the total. This marks the film’s ninth consecutive month at the top, proving its ongoing popularity and powerful impact among fans.
Kim Hye-yoon’s Raw, Emotional Performance Stands Out
At the heart of the film’s success is actress Kim Hye-yoon, who has become a staple in the Netizen Awards for Best Actress. Her performance—marked by a perfect blend of raw emotion and intricate sensitivity—left a strong impression on audiences. The deep impact of her acting is largely credited for the film’s continued support over the past nine months.
Her emotionally charged portrayal of the character allowed viewers to fully immerse themselves in the story, elevating the film to ‘fan favorite’ status. One voter commented, “Kim Hye-yoon didn’t just act—she lived the role. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.”
Other Films That Made the List
Coming in at second place was ’20th Century Girl’ with 7,179 votes (24.0%), a film that continues to resonate with audiences through its nostalgic take on first love and vintage vibes.
Rounding out the top five were:
- ‘The Black Nuns’ – 2,503 votes (8.4%)
- ’30 Days’ – 2,035 votes (6.8%)
- Jeong Dong-won’s ‘Christmas Mobilization: The Movie’ – 1,553 votes (5.2%)
The rest of the rankings included exciting entries like Lee Junho’s concert film ‘The Day We Meet Again’ and Seventeen’s worldwide cinema tour, though these received significantly fewer votes.
What’s Next for the Awards?
With the power of fan-driven recognition, the Netizen Awards highlight the undeniable influence of the audience. As Korean cinema continues to flourish globally, it will be interesting to see if ‘The Girl on a Bulldozer’ can maintain its top spot in the coming months—or if a new fan favorite will rise to challenge its reign.
