In the Female Singer category of the 2026 June Netizen Awards, Kang Hyeyeon and Hong Jiyun are locked in an extremely tight race, battling fiercely for seventh place.

According to data compiled as of 5:24 p.m. on the 26th, Kang Hyeyeon secured 1,135 votes (2.1% of the vote share) to claim seventh place. Close behind, Hong Jiyun is in eighth place with 1,113 votes (2.1%). The difference is a mere 22 votes, and with both candidates showing identical vote shares, the situation is so tight that even a single vote could reverse their rankings.

Competition in the Female Singer category is intense not only at the top but also in the middle ranks. In particular, as the month draws to a close, the cohesion of each fandom has emerged as a key variable that will determine the final rankings. Given the nature of the Netizen Awards, where rankings are decided entirely by direct fan votes, every single vote cast until the very end is expected to be a decisive factor in shifting the standings.

Meanwhile, the overwhelming leader in the Female Singer category is Jung Seoju. Jung Seoju is racing ahead in first place with a total of 26,948 votes (49.8%). Ranks two through six are held by Bin Yesul, Kim Dahyun, Song Gain, Mai Jin, and Yang Ji-eun, respectively, trailing behind the leader. Following the seventh-place battle between Kang Hyeyeon and Hong Jiyun, Hongja and Kim Soyeon are also within the top 10, further intensifying the last-minute scramble for rankings.
