In the May Netizen Awards Male Singer category, which concluded amidst passionate solidarity from fans, Hwang Young-woong defended his top spot with an overwhelming record.

Hwang Young-woong swept a total of 64,109 votes, recording an unrivaled vote rate of 41.7% and demonstrating the staying power to defend his throne for two consecutive months following last month. Despite minor fluctuations in the overall voting scale, he proved a concrete support rate of over 40%, but unfortunately fell short of joining the 70,000-vote club.

In the top tier, a fierce battle of firepower unfolded for second place. Chun-gil, who rapidly emerged as a dark horse in the previous vote, firmly secured second place with 13,826 votes (9.0%). Hot on his heels, Son Tae-jin took third place with 13,543 votes (8.8%), and Jang Min-ho also ranked fourth with 13,334 votes (8.7%) based on a solid fandom, forming a strong triangular formation at the top of the rankings.

The battle for middle-tier rankings continued as a tight race down to decimal points. While Jin-won took fifth place with 5,973 votes (3.9%), Enoch rose to sixth place with 5,758 votes (3.7%). In particular, Park Ji-hyun secured 5,745 votes, ranking seventh with a 3.7% vote rate—just 13 votes behind Enoch—showing a fierce upward trend.

Following them, Song Min-jun comfortably settled in eighth place with 5,387 votes (3.5%), and Jung Dong-won took ninth place with 5,313 votes (3.5%), while Seo Young-taek garnered 4,779 votes (3.1%) to clinch the final spot in the top 10.

Even in the 11th to 15th place range, a cliffhanger battle unfolded where every single vote counted. Park Chang-geun rose to 11th place with 4,513 votes (2.9%), followed by Young-tak recording 12th place with 1,970 votes (1.3%). Ahn Sung-hoon staged a neck-and-neck race, remaining in 13th place with 1,967 votes (1.3%), lagging just 3 votes behind Young-tak. Behind them, Kang Hyung-ho ranked 14th with 1,830 votes (1.2%), and Hong Isak ranked 15th with 1,650 votes (1.1%).

The lower rankings were also filled with fans' consistent enthusiasm for their artists. Park Seo-jin defended 16th place with 1,528 votes (1.0%), while Lee Chan-won followed in 17th place with 1,213 votes (0.8%). Park Hyo-shin recorded 18th place with 556 votes (0.4%), Jannabi's Choi Jung-hoon recorded 19th place with 420 votes (0.3%), and Lim Young-woong garnered 342 votes (0.2%) to finish this voting race in 20th place.
