Amid her dynamic activities in dramas, movies, and as a ceremony MC, she also received overwhelming support in this vote. Kim Hye-yoon recently challenged the thriller genre in the feature film ‘Salmeokji’, seeking a new acting transformation.
Set against the reservoir in Yesan, South Chungcheong, she plays the role of ‘Soo-in’, who faces a mysterious incident, leading the story. Additionally, she has been selected as the MC for the ‘2025 KMA’ ceremony in July, predicting her activities across both TV and stage. Given her stable live broadcast hosting performance at the SBS Acting Awards, her activities in this ceremony are also highly anticipated.

In this vote, the race was neck and neck with a tight vote difference among the top actors, keeping the tension until the end. While Kim Hye-yoon took the first place, previous vote leaders Lee Se-young and Kim Ji-won showed consistent fanbase strength, closely trailing behind. On the other hand, although Park Eun-bin and Park Min-young saw a slight gap in votes, there remains the potential for changes in the next rankings, depending on the rallying of the mid-tier fandom.
In the second half of the year, with actors preparing for returns and new rookies expected to emerge, there is potential for unexpected outcomes in the next vote. Interest is focused on how the shift of fandom power and content performance will intertwine in the flow of future ranking competition.
