NewJeans member Minji has entered the 3rd spot in the Star Ranking Star Idol Female Ranking.
In the 237th Star Ranking Star Idol Female Ranking vote, conducted from 3:01 p.m. on the 7th to 3:00 p.m. on the 14th, NewJeans' Minji secured the 3rd place with 6,852 votes.
Red Velvet's Irene maintained the 1st place with 14,716 votes, while NewJeans' Hyein took 2nd place with 8,857 votes. NewJeans' Minji ranked 3rd, with Oh My Girl's YooA (2,557 votes) and Girls' Generation's Yuri (2,005 votes) completing the top 5.
Previously, NewJeans declared contract termination in November 2024, citing ADOR's breach of contract obligations and other reasons. However, in October last year, NewJeans lost the first-instance lawsuit regarding the validity of their exclusive contract, after which members Hyein, Haerin, and Hanni returned to ADOR.
However, Danielle was notified of the contract termination, and Minji is currently discussing her return. On this day, ADOR 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 voting results and rankings.
Stars selected as number one for four consecutive weeks will be featured on outdoor digital billboards. Fans of stars who rank number one for four consecutive weeks can also request outdoor billboard video fan reports. Proposals should be sent to the StarNews official email (star@mtstarnews.com).
