As the July Netizens Awards enter the second half, Jang Han-byul's dominance continues in the Neostar Award category.

As of 11:39 a.m. on the 20th, Jang Han-byul has secured 15,093 votes (40.7%) and is racing toward first place in the Neostar Award. Second-place Liberante Kim Ji-hoon follows with 5,978 votes (16.1%) and third-place Hwanhee with 4,366 votes (11.8%), but the gap with Jang Han-byul continues to widen.

Jang Han-byul has never relinquished the lead since early this month, maintaining a steady flow of votes. With the voting schedule now past the halfway point, fan participation continues consistently, forming an independent trend that goes beyond a simple frontrunner competition.

In particular, expectations are growing not only for Jang Han-byul's first place in the Neostar Award but also for his participation in next month's 'Net Grand Prix,' which encompasses all categories of the Netizens Awards. The Net Grand Prix serves as a symbolic benchmark where candidates who have achieved outstanding results in each category are recognized for their overall competitiveness, and observers note that if Jang Han-byul maintains his current overwhelming support, a green light could be signaled for his entry.

Fans' support extends beyond merely maintaining rankings. With consistent daily voting participation accumulating, Jang Han-byul's voting base is becoming even more solid, which is expected to serve as a key driving force in the second-half competition.

However, the Netizens Awards have seen numerous cases where rankings shifted dramatically due to last-minute fandom mobilization, drawing continued interest in whether the top-tier candidates can close the gap.
