[CBC News] Singer Maijin is asserting herself in the March 2026 Netizen Awards' female vocalist category, buoyed by a devoted fanbase. As of 6:49 p.m. on the 12th, she has collected 1,773 votes (6.8%), putting her in fourth place.
Jung Seo-ju is running away with the category, holding 12,212 votes (46.9%). Bin Ye-seo (3,463 votes, 13.3%) and Kim Da-hyun (1,857 votes, 7.1%) follow, forming the race's leading tier. Maijin is closing in on third-place Kim Da-hyun as she pushes to move up the standings.
Maijin has demonstrated strong voting power before—she once finished second in this category at the Netizen Awards. Now that she has crossed the 1,000-vote threshold, industry watchers are monitoring whether her supporters can consolidate further momentum.
Trailing Maijin are Yang Ji-eun (1,613 votes, 6.2%) and Song Ga-in (1,520 votes, 5.8%), who sit in fifth and sixth and remain within striking distance. Kang Hye-yeon (703 votes), IU (569 votes), Hong Ji-yoon (496 votes), and Kim So-yeon (472 votes) round out the top 10, all jockeying for position.
From 11th onward, the rankings include Hong Ja, Jeon Yu-jin, Miss Kim, Kim Tae-yeon and Na-young. Artists like Hwasa, Kim Ui-young, Park Hye-won, Heo Chan-mi and Hwang Woo-rim are also staying in the race.
