Star Ranking operates as a poll-driven system where fans vote for their beloved stars directly. Mobile voters can receive a voting certificate, and stars receive various benefits based on their ranking.

The star who secures first place for four consecutive weeks earns the opportunity to appear on an outdoor billboard advertisement. Furthermore, fans of a star who achieves four consecutive top rankings can show their support by submitting a fan-made video for the billboard ad.

In other news, Kim Soo Hyun and his agency have pressed additional charges against a YouTuber for alleged stalking.
