Group NewJeans' Haerin maintained the 2nd position in the Star Ranking Star Idol Female category.

Haerin secured 2nd place with 8,946 votes in the 236th Star Ranking Star Idol Female ranking vote, which took place from 3:01 p.m. on April 30 to 3:00 p.m. on May 7.

Red Velvet's Irene retained 1st place with 14,691 votes, while Oh My Girl's Yooa took 3rd place with 2,411 votes, following Haerin in 2nd. Girls' Generation's Yuri (2,146 votes) and Girls' Generation's Yoon-a (1,663 votes) followed behind.

Previously, NewJeans declared contract termination in November 2024, citing ADOOR's breach of obligations, among other reasons. However, in October last year, NewJeans lost the first-instance lawsuit regarding the validity of their exclusive contract, after which members Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni returned to ADOOR.

However, Daniel received notice of contract termination, and Minji is currently discussing whether to return. On this day, ADOOR stated, "We are continuing internal discussions regarding future activities. Negotiations are proceeding in a generally positive direction."

Meanwhile, Star Ranking is a ranking poll where fans directly vote for their favorite stars to determine the rankings. When voting via mobile, voters can receive a voting certificate, and various special benefits are provided to the stars based on the ranking results.

Stars selected as 1st place for four consecutive weeks are featured on outdoor digital billboards. Fans of stars who hold the 1st place position for four consecutive weeks can also request outdoor billboard video fan reports. Proposals should be sent to the StarNews official email (star@mtstarnews.com).
