Although the season is not currently underway, the popularity of women's professional volleyball remains strong. Park Jeong-a (33, Korea Expressway Corporation) has secured the No. 1 position in the Star Sports women's category of the Star Ranking for 17 consecutive weeks.

In the 51st Star Ranking Star Sports women's vote, which was tallied from 3:01 p.m. on the 11th to 3:00 p.m. on the 18th, Park Jeong-a received 42,712 votes to claim the top spot. This marks her 17th consecutive week at the summit, starting from the 35th vote. Another women's volleyball star, Kim Hee-jin (35, Hyundai Construction), received 7,007 votes and secured second place.

"Badminton Queen" Ahn Se-young (24, Samsung Life) and table tennis star Shin Yu-bin (22, Korean Air) also attempted to catch up, but they were unable to surpass the popularity of the women's volleyball stars in this vote. Ahn Se-young finished third with 6,120 votes, while Shin Yu-bin placed fourth with 1,566 votes. Lee Da-hyun (25, Heungkuk Life) took fifth place. As a result, three of the top five were women's volleyball stars.

Meanwhile, starting from the 49th vote, the number of candidates increased from 15 to 20, making the competition even more intense. Yang Hyo-jin (volleyball), who has retired, was removed from the candidate list, while Go Ye-rim, Choi Jeong-min, and Choi Seo-hyun (all volleyball), Heo Ye-eun and Park So-hee (both basketball), and Kim Gil-li (short track) were newly added as candidates.
