One fan left a comment saying, "I get energy from seeing Jang Han-byol's smile," and added, "I hope they will keep singing and bringing laughter to our side for a long time." Beyond a simple vote-getting competition, fans personally participating in cheering has become another highlight of the Neostar Award.

Voting for the July Netizens Awards is currently still underway, so the possibility of ranking changes remains. Although Jang Han-byol is maintaining the lead, the landscape could shift depending on the movements of rival candidates' fanbases, keeping attention focused on the competition for the remaining voting period.
