Actor Kim Soo-hyun has topped the Star Ranking's Male Star category at No. 1.

In the 174th Star Ranking Male Star vote, held from 3:01 p.m. on the 2nd to 3:00 p.m. on the 9th, Kim Soo-hyun secured first place, surpassing Lee Jun-ho and Byun Woo-seok.

In this round of voting, Kim Soo-hyun received 47,407 votes, followed by Lee Jun-ho in second place with 36,442 votes, and Byun Woo-seok in third with 12,004 votes.

Meanwhile, Star Ranking is a ranking poll where fans directly vote for their favorite stars to determine the standings. When voting via mobile, participants can receive a voting certificate, and depending on the final ranking, various special benefits are provided to the star.

Stars ranked No. 1 for four consecutive weeks will be featured in outdoor digital billboard advertisements. Fans of stars who hold the No. 1 position for four straight weeks may also request fan support videos for those billboards. Requests can be submitted via StarNews' official email (star@mtstarnews.com).

The 175th Star Ranking Male Star vote will take place from 3:01 p.m. on the 9th to 3:00 p.m. on the 16th.

Starting with the June vote, results will be factored into the selection of AAA 2026 Star Ranking award winners.

Kim Soo-hyun halted his activities after YouTube channel 'Garo-Sero Research Institute' Kim Se-ui (CEO) raised allegations that he had dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor.

However, Kim Se-yeon was recently arrested and transferred to prosecutors on charges including violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation by spreading false facts), violation of the Special Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes, violation of the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (distribution of recordings made with cameras, etc.), attempted coercion, and threats. Police believe that all audio recordings and messenger conversations allegedly involving Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron claimed by Kim Se-yeon were fabricated.

Kim Soo-hyun is now preparing to resume his activities. He has officially confirmed filming a commercial for a Philippine fashion brand in Korea this month, signaling his return to the entertainment scene.
