The voting for the Netizen Awards Film Category in the acting division for June has concluded. On the finals stage, which wrapped up the first half's grand journey, the cohesion of fandoms seeking to maintain their lead and the voting enthusiasm of latecomers aiming for ranking changes clashed fiercely until the very end.

According to the final tally for the film category, 'Salmokji' defended its throne in first place with a total of 17,558 votes, securing a 48.1% share of the vote. Adding another win following last month, 'Salmokji' set a record of three consecutive monthly victories. Continuing its unprecedented streak of consecutive wins for a horror film at the Netizen Awards, it proved its status as an absolute powerhouse in the film category with a share approaching 50%. 'Salmokji' also recorded an audience of 3.24 million viewers.

A clear two-horse race emerged at the top tier. '20th Century Girl' firmly held second place in this final round with 15,807 votes and a 43.3% share. The trend of 'Salmokji' and '20th Century Girl' splitting over 90% of the total votes continued through to the final stage of the first half.

The middle tier saw ranking reversals and fierce battles. 'Eojjeolsuga Eopda' (Nothing I Can Do), which had remained in fifth place last month, rallied its fandom's firepower to earn 1,130 votes, leaping to third place with a 3.1% share. Meanwhile, 'The Childe' (Gwigongja), which placed third in the previous vote, managed only 865 votes, slipping one spot to fourth with a 2.4% share. '30 Days' defended fifth place with 534 votes and a 1.5% share.

The lower-tier race also concluded with meaningful results. 'The Man Living with the King' secured sixth place with 230 votes and a 0.6% share, while 'Zombie Daughter' continued its pursuit in seventh place with 218 votes and a 0.6% share. 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' then climbed to eighth place with 169 votes and a 0.5% share. Finally, 'The Colony' (Gunche) and 'Wild Thing' each received 6 votes, tying for ninth place.
