Kim Do-young (23, KIA Tigers), who led the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) to the quarterfinals, regained the top spot in the star rankings in two weeks.

Kim Do-young regained the top spot with 18,69 votes in the 37th round of voting for men's star sports ranked from 3:01 p.m. on the 5th to 3 p.m. on the 12th.

Kim Do-young, who had been in first place for 29 weeks until two weeks ago, was pushed back to second place last week by professional basketball star Huh Woong (Jeonju KCC), but immediately rose back to its original position.

Kim Do-young, who suffered from a hamstring injury last year, recovered completely and is raising her stock price with a strong performance in the WBC, and has jumped back to No. 1 with this momentum.

The second place was Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), not Heo Woong. Lee Kang-in, who received 8,115 votes, jumped one step from third place last week.

In third place was Heo Woong, who received 5,582 votes. Son Heung-min (LAFC), who received 2,265 votes last week, fell two places from No. 1 to No. 3 last week.

Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who jumped to fifth place last week, fell behind veteran baseball player Yang Hyeon-jong (KIA Tigers) with 686 votes this time. Yang Hyun-jong took fifth place.

Star ranking determines the ranking by fans voting for their favorite stars directly through the Star News website. Depending on the results of the vote, stars are given a variety of perks.

While voting has been held separately from men and women since the 5th week of June last year, 15 male candidates are competing, including Kim Do-young, Yang Hyun-jin, Kim Ha-sung, Lee Jung-hoo, Kim Hye-sung, Lee Kang-in, Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, Kim Min-jae, Yang Min-hyuk (football), Huh Woong, Heo Soo-bong (volleyball), and Woo Sang-hyuk (athletics).

The 38th round of voting for Star Ranking Men's Sports will be held from 3:01 p.m. on the 12th to 3 p.m. on the 19th.
