Park Jihoon’s Dramatic Rise in the Rankings
In June 2025, the Netizen Awards took a surprising turn in the Male Actor category — thanks to none other than Park Jihoon. A former K-pop idol turned actor, Park has been steadily building his filmography and now finds himself at the center of this month’s most dramatic leaderboard story.
From Underdog to Top Contender
As of 11:24 a.m. on June 6, Park Jihoon had secured 510 votes, placing him third in the Male Actor division. What shocks most observers is that he started the race at 19th place just days earlier. This kind of surge is rarely seen in the monthly Netizen Awards.
Fan Power Behind the Climb
While Byeon Wooseok comfortably maintains the #1 spot, Park Jihoon is now in a close contest with Rowoon for second place. Jihoon began with a quiet presence in the voting pool but saw his ranking skyrocket starting June 4, as his fanbase launched a full-scale voting campaign.
More Than Just Numbers
This isn’t just a voting spree — it’s a sign of Park Jihoon’s growing impact as a trusted actor. Once known primarily for his idol status, Jihoon is gaining recognition as a genuine acting talent. As his recent drama performances attract praise, fans are eager to help him shine on awards stages as well.
The Awards Drama Is Just Beginning
With June only halfway through, the current rankings are far from final. Still, Park Jihoon’s remarkable ascent from 19th to 3rd has already written one of this month’s most compelling award narratives.
As the Netizen Awards continue, all eyes are now on whether this rising star can climb even higher.
