[May Netizens' Awards] In the 'Hall of Fame Immortal Star' category, Shin Hae-chul defended the top spot for three consecutive months, solidifying his status as a legend.

According to the May voting results, Shin Hae-chul secured first place by earning a total of 1,239 votes, holding an overwhelming share of 44.6%. Extending his winning streak to three consecutive months following last month, he proved a stable approval rating in the 44% range.

The most notable feature of this vote is the reorganization of the top-tier rankings. Bae Ho, who ranked third last month, secured 517 votes (18.6%) to jump to second place, taking the position of chasing Shin Hae-chul. Following this, Jang Hyun also recorded 272 votes (9.8%), buoyed by the concentrated voting enthusiasm of his fans, pulling his ranking up from fifth place last month to third and demonstrating his enduring potential. Kim Jung-ho earned 244 votes (8.8%), firmly defending his fourth-place spot and forming the upper-middle tier.

Ranking fluctuations also occurred in the middle-tier bracket amid fans' fierce voting enthusiasm. Kim Hyun-sik, who had previously formed a two-way rivalry with Shin Hae-chul, saw a slowdown in his vote count this month, dropping to fifth place with 197 votes (7.1%). In contrast, Hyun-chol recorded 138 votes (5.0%), moving up to sixth place, followed by Yoo Jae-ha, who secured 108 votes (3.9%).

The lower-tier rankings were also finalized amidst fans' longing for the stars who once dominated their eras. Kim Kwang-seok earned 47 votes (1.7%), maintaining his 8th place standing, while Jeon Tae-gwan and Turtle Man tied with 9 votes (0.3%) each, ranking side-by-side at 9th and 10th place respectively.

These results, highlighted by Shin Hae-chul's winning streak and the fierce ranking competition among legendary stars, build greater anticipation for the ongoing battle of support between fandoms.
