Who could possibly stop Park Jeong-a (33·Korea Expressway Corporation)? She has successfully defended her number one spot for an impressive 19 consecutive weeks in the Star Ranking.

In the Star Sports Women's 53rd Star Ranking vote, held from 3:01 a.m. on the 25th of last month until 3:00 p.m. on the 2nd, Park Jeong-a received 41,047 votes to maintain her top position. This marks an incredible streak of 18 consecutive weeks at the summit since the 35th vote.

Although professional volleyball is still preparing for the new season, its popularity shows no signs of waning.

Table tennis star Shin Yu-bin (22·Korean Air) garnered 15,010 votes to claim second place, jumping up from fourth last week. Third place went to badminton queen An Se-young (24·Samsung Life), who received 11,599 votes and slipped one spot from her previous second-place finish.

The fourth and fifth positions were taken by women's volleyball players. Kim Hee-jin (35·Hyundai Construction) received 3,723 votes, dropping one spot from third place last week, while Lee Da-hyun (25·Heungkuk Life) secured fifth with 924 votes.

Meanwhile, starting from the 49th vote, the number of candidates increased from 15 to 20, intensifying the competition. Yang Hyo-jin (volleyball), who has retired, was removed from the candidate list, while new additions included Go Ye-rim and Choi Jung-min, both volleyball players, as well as Huh Ye-eun and Park So-hee (both basketball) and Kim Gil-li (short track speed skating).

Including these newcomers, a total of 20 candidates competed: Park Jeong-a, Kim Hee-jin, Lee Da-hyun, and Kang So-hui (all volleyball); An Se-young (badminton); Shin Yu-bin (table tennis); Kim Dan-bi, Shin Ji-hyun, Kang Yi-seul, and Shin Yi-seul (all basketball); and Yoon Na-na, Go Jin-young, Park Sung-hyun, and Park Hyun-kyung (all golf).

Meanwhile, the Star Ranking Women's Sports 54th vote will run for one week, from 3:01 p.m. on the 2nd until 3:00 p.m. on July 9.
