Hwang Young-woong Becomes First in Netizen Awards History to Achieve 'Two Consecutive Years in the 60,000 Club'

In the June 2026 Netizen Awards Male Singer category, Hwang Young-woong is setting yet another monumental record. It holds special significance as the first case of maintaining the 60,000 club for two consecutive years, going beyond simply surpassing 60,000 votes.

As of 5:17 p.m. on the 30th, based on current tally, Hwang Young-woong is leading the Male Singer category with 61,678 votes (40.9%).

He is followed by Choon-gil in 2nd place with 14,356 votes (9.5%), Son Tae-jin in 3rd with 13,972 votes (9.3%), and Jang Min-ho in 4th with 13,953 votes (9.3%).

Achieved 24 Consecutive Months in a 'Monthly Reset' Structure... Proving Fandom Cohesion

The reason this 60,000 club march is drawing particular attention lies in the continuity of the record. From June 2024 to June 2026, Hwang Young-woong never missed the 60,000 club. This is the first time such a record has been achieved in Netizen Awards history.

The Netizen Awards operates on a structure where new voting begins every month. Since the previous month's performance does not guarantee the next month's results, gathering the same scale of votes throughout two years of competition that restarts from scratch each month is an achievement impossible without the fandom's steady participation.

It is not a momentary buzz but a demonstration of long-accumulated fandom cohesion.

Fierce Competition in the Upper Ranks of the Male Singer Category... Ranking Changes Remain a Focus Until the Very End

In the Male Singer category, Choon-gil, Son Tae-jin, and Jang Min-ho are each forming a bloc of 13,000 to 14,000 votes, competing for 2nd place. Jin-won, Park Ji-hyun, Seo Young-taek, Enoch, Jung Dong-won, and Song Min-jun are continuing their vote race in the top 10, drawing keen interest over whether there will be ranking changes until the very end.
