Singer Jang Han-byul is racing ahead in the July Netizen Awards Neostar category, showcasing an overwhelming presence from his very first challenge.

As of 5:50 p.m. on the 24th, according to the Neostar Award tally in the singer category of the Netizen Awards, Jang Han-byul, who newly joined this month, is sweeping a solid first place with a total of 19,246 votes (41.8% of the vote share).

Second-place Kim Ji-hoon recorded 6,723 votes (14.6%), and third-place Hwanhee recorded 6,090 votes (13.2%), showing a considerable vote gap with first-place Jang Han-byul. In addition, Kim Jung-yeon (2,966 votes), Jin-wook (2,952 votes), and Yoo Chae-hoon (1,563 votes) are forming the top ranks, continuing a fierce ranking battle.

Throughout this month, Jang Han-byul maintained a steady voting trajectory, fully playing his role as the central axis of the Neostar Award competition. Given that it was not simply a temporary surge but rather sustained fan voting participation, this July race has once again proven the strong cohesion of his solid fandom.

Since the Neostar Award ranking is determined by fans' continuous voting participation, the last-minute competition running until the end of the month is expected to be a variable. However, based on the tally trend so far, Jang Han-byul is securely maintaining the top spot and further highlighting his presence.

As the July Netizen Awards race toward the finish line, attention is focused on whether Jang Han-byul can cap off this month's upward momentum with a win. At the same time, fans' expectations are already rising about what new records and competitive landscapes will unfold in the new Neostar Award race set to begin in August.
