In the 55th Star Ranking Star Sports women's sports voting period held from 3:01 p.m. on the 9th to 3:00 p.m. on the 16th, Park Jung-ah garnered 44,076 votes — nearly seven times the number of votes received by the second-place candidate.

An Se-young (24, Samsung Life), who recently withdrew from the Japan Open due to injury concerns, drawing sympathy from fans, received 2,847 votes and placed fourth. Park Hyun-kyung (26) came in fifth with 390 votes.

The Star Ranking women's sports category expanded its candidate pool from 15 to 20 starting with the 49th voting round, significantly intensifying competition.
