In the July Netizen Awards Neostar category voting, the performance of stars who newly joined this month stands out. In particular, Jang Hanbyeol has taken the lead from his first participation, emerging as the biggest topic of the category.

As of 11:25 a.m. on the 6th, Jang Hanbyeol is ranked first with 3,144 votes (33.1%). Second-place Kim Jihoon is close behind with 2,645 votes (27.8%), and the two candidates are engaged in a fierce competition for the lead from the early stages. Jang Hanbyeol proved his presence by reaching the top in his very first month of joining the Neostar category candidates.

Jang Hanbyeol is not the only new face. Seongri and Hwanhee also joined the Neostar candidate pool starting in July, expanding the competition. Seongri announced his start by recording 58 votes, and Hwanhee is also building his foundation by gathering fan support.

Attention is focused on whether Jang Hanbyeol's early surge will continue until the end and whether existing candidates, including Kim Jihoon, will mount a counterattack.
