Lysenne and Cortis, newly joined contenders in the July 2026 Netizen Awards Best Group category, are making their presence felt in their first voting stage, drawing attention to their future ranking competition.

As of 4:15 p.m. on the 7th, the Best Group voting status shows Forte di Quattro running in overwhelming first place with 3,772 votes (41.3%). Liberante holds second place with 2,879 votes (31.5%), followed by Fortena (762 votes), La Poem (497 votes), and Forestella (492 votes) forming the top tier.

Lysenne, which made the candidate list for the first time this month, recorded 14 votes (0.2%) and ranked 15th. While the absolute vote count remains low, it is evaluated as the stage where the fandom's initial mobilization has begun. How much they can expand their support base as full-scale voting progresses will be a key point to watch.

Another new candidate, Cortis, received 4 votes. Although still a latecomer in the ranking competition, its first participation itself carries significance as the starting point for fandom consolidation. If fan participation in voting increases, the potential for ranking changes is certainly worth anticipating.

The Best Group category features competition between established crossover groups and representative K-pop groups, making the growth trajectory of newly joined groups another focal point. Fans continue to watch with interest to see what upward momentum Lysenne and Cortis can create in their July Best Group challenge.
