"Golden Boy" Lee Kang-in (25, Paris Saint-Germain) proved to be a "trend" in name and reality, winning the top spot in the men's category of star sports for two consecutive weeks.

Lee Kang-in ranked No. 1 with 14,418 votes in the 39th round of men's voting for Star Sports, which was compiled from 3:01 p.m. on the 19th to 3 p.m. on the 26th. Lee Kang-in, who was crowned for the first time in the 38th round of voting, solidly maintained his No. 1 position this week, setting the stage for a solo system.

Lee Kang-in's stock price continues to rise recently. This is because rumors of a transfer between Lee Kang-in and Atletico Madrid (ATM) continue steadily. Interest in Lee Kang-in's future is growing as Antoine Griezmann (35), a former member of the French national team, left the ATM and was confirmed to transfer to Orlando City, a member of the U.S. Major League Soccer League (MLS). It is interpreted that the issue of transfer is reflected in the results of this vote.

Infielder Kim Do-young (23, KIA Tigers), who had been in power for a long time until recently and fell to second place, sought to rebound this week with 11,261 votes, but unfortunately stayed in second place, widening the gap with Lee Kang-in from 806 votes last week to 3,157 votes. Based on his performance at the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), Kim Do-young seems to be trying to regain the top spot once again in the upcoming KBO regular season.

There has been no change in the rankings for the third to fifth places since last week. Busan KCC's basketball star Huh Woong (33), who boasts a steady fandom, came in third place. Son Heung-min (34), the symbol of Korean soccer, who continues his new challenge at LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), ranked fourth and veteran left-hander Yang Hyeon-jong (38) of the KIA Tigers ranked fifth, maintaining the top ranks.

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).

Meanwhile, the 40th round of voting for star-ranked men's sports will be held from 3:01 p.m. on March 26 to 3 p.m. on April 2.
