Meanwhile, the Star Ranking is a ranking vote where fans directly vote for their favorite stars to determine the rankings. When voting via mobile, voters can also receive a voting certificate, and various special benefits are provided to the stars based on the voting result rankings.
The star ranked first for four consecutive weeks will be featured in outdoor digital billboard advertisements. Fans of the star who have held the top spot for four consecutive weeks can also commission a fan-supported video for the outdoor digital billboard. Proposals should be submitted via StarNews' official email at star@mtstarnews.com.
