Hwanhee is raising his presence in the July 2026 Netizens Awards Neostar category by surpassing 5,000 votes.

As of 2:40 p.m. on the 22nd, Hwanhee is currently in third place with 5,085 votes (12.3%). He has maintained a steady upward trend in voting since the middle of this month, earning a spot in the '5,000 Club.'

The top tier of the Neostar category is currently led by Jang Han-byul with an overwhelming 17,135 votes, followed by Kim Ji-hoon in second place with 6,327 votes and Hwanhee in third with over 5,000 votes. Behind them, Kim Jung-yeon (2,720 votes) and Jin-uk (2,651 votes) are in pursuit.

With Hwanhee setting a meaningful milestone as the month enters its latter half, whether he can reach the 10,000-vote mark during the remaining voting period has emerged as a key point of interest. Since the Netizens Awards directly reflects continued fandom participation in the rankings, the possibility remains open that the competitive landscape could shift depending on the pace of votes in the final stretch.

Hwanhee is currently working to close the gap with second-place Kim Ji-hoon while simultaneously fighting to solidify his third-place position. As the July Netizens Awards head into their final stretch, fans are focusing their attention on whether Hwanhee can use his entry into the 5,000 Club as a springboard to challenge yet another milestone: reaching 10,000 votes.
