No one appears able to halt the dominance of Park Jeong-a (33, Korea Expressway Corporation), a flagship star of Korean women's professional volleyball. Park Jeong-a has successfully defended her top position in the Star Ranking for an unprecedented '20 consecutive weeks,' setting a remarkable record.
In the 54th Star Ranking Star Sports women's vote, which ran from 3:01 p.m. on the 2nd to 3:00 p.m. on the 9th over one week, Park Jeong-a garnered overwhelming votes and firmly maintained her first-place position.
As a result, starting from the 35th vote, Park Jeong-a has never relinquished her throne once, achieving the historic feat of '20 consecutive weeks at number one.' Even as professional volleyball enters its off-season ahead of the new season, fans' fervent support for Park Jeong-a continues to burn brightly without waning.
While 'table tennis prodigy' Shin Yu-bin (22, Korean Air), who surprisingly jumped from fourth to second place in the 53rd vote, firmly held onto her second-place position again this time, Kim Hee-jin (35, Hyundai Construction) also defended her third-place spot, proving herself as a reliable force among volleyball fans. An Se-young (24, Samsung Life), Korea's flagship 'empress' of badminton, secured fourth place and fiercely chased the top ranks.
Changes in the ranking landscape were also noticeable. Lee Da-hyun (25), who ranked fifth in the 53rd vote, briefly slipped as she recently transferred to a Japanese league, creating an opening that Park Hyun-kyung (26), the 'rising star' of women's golf, seized to claim fifth place. Consequently, Lee Da-hyun narrowly missed out on the top five.
The Star Ranking women's sports category expanded its candidate pool from 15 to 20 starting with the 49th vote, significantly intensifying competition. Currently, with retired volleyball player Yang Hyo-jin no longer in the running, new additions include Go Ye-rim, Choi Jung-min, and Choi Seo-hyun (all volleyball), Heo Ye-eun and Park So-hee (both basketball), and Kim Gil-li (short track). This has sparked a star-studded battle across all sports, including volleyball, basketball, golf, and short track.
Even amidst this fierce competitive environment where an expanded candidate pool could lead to vote dispersion, Park Jeong-a maintained her unshakable dominance, showcasing the dignity of being 'the star among stars.' Sports fans are closely watching how far Park Jeong-a's record-breaking streak of 20 consecutive weeks at the top will continue.
Meanwhile, the 55th Star Ranking women's sports vote to determine the new throne holder will once again run for one week from 3:01 p.m. on the 9th.
