South Korean actor and singer Cha Eun-Woo has secured the No. 1 spot in the popularity poll for the 3rd Blue Dragon Series Awards, according to results announced on June 20, 2026. The poll, conducted by the awards organizers, ran from June 10 to June 19, 2026, and allowed fans to vote online for their favorite stars.
Cha Eun-Woo, a member of the K-pop group ASTRO, is currently serving his mandatory military service, having enlisted in April 2025. Despite his temporary hiatus from public activities, his global fanbase mobilized strongly, securing him the top position in the poll. The exact vote count or margin of victory has not been disclosed by the organizers.
The Blue Dragon Series Awards, established in 2022, honor outstanding achievements in Korean dramas and streaming series. The popularity poll is a separate category from the main awards, which will be presented at a ceremony later this year. Cha Eun-Woo's win highlights his sustained popularity even during his military service.
Other top vote-getters in the poll included actors from recent hit dramas, though specific rankings were not fully detailed in available reports. The awards ceremony date has not yet been announced for 2026.
