Full Details
The latest result adds another week to Seonghyeon’s growing record in the fan-voted ranking.
Star Ranking allows fans to vote for their favorite stars, with weekly results determining the rankings. The voting is separate from music charts and sales figures, meaning the result primarily reflects participation and support from fans who take part in the Star Ranking poll.
Seonghyeon’s Recent Star Ranking Run
Seonghyeon’s rise to the top has developed quickly. Earlier in the summer, he was still competing near the top of the ranking before eventually taking first place.
By September, his position had become more consistent. In the 253rd Star Ranking vote, held from August 27 to September 3, Seonghyeon received 929,229 votes and secured his fourth consecutive No. 1 finish. CORTIS members Juhoon and Geonho also occupied second and third place in that round.
His seventh consecutive victory came in the 256th round. Seonghyeon collected 364,738 votes between September 17 and September 24, again finishing ahead of the competition.
The latest 257th round continued that streak.
| Star Ranking Round | Voting Period | Seonghyeon’s Result |
|---|---|---|
| 253rd | Aug. 27–Sept. 3 | No. 1 |
| 254th | Sept. 3–10 | No. 1 |
| 255th | Sept. 10–17 | No. 1 |
| 256th | Sept. 17–24 | No. 1 |
| 257th | Sept. 24–Oct. 1 | No. 1 |
The Star Ranking results page also shows Geonho in second place in the latest round, followed by BTS’s Jin and 2PM’s Lee Jun-ho among the next leading positions.
Why It Matters
Seonghyeon’s continued position at the top provides another indication of the strong fan participation surrounding CORTIS.
The result is also notable because other CORTIS members have repeatedly appeared near the top of the same ranking. In the 256th round, Geonho placed second, while Juhoon ranked fifth.
CORTIS has also recorded strong results in other areas of its music career. Earlier reports highlighted the group’s streaming performance, including achievements for its songs on Spotify and other music platforms.
However, the Star Ranking result should be understood specifically as a fan-voting ranking. It should not be treated as a direct measurement of overall music sales, streaming numbers, or general public popularity.
Another feature of Star Ranking is the benefit attached to four consecutive No. 1 finishes. StarNews has stated that stars who remain first for four straight weeks can receive outdoor digital billboard advertising, while fans can also request related fan-support video promotions. Since Seonghyeon has already passed that four-week mark, his continued run extends the opportunity for additional fan support.
What’s Next?
The next Star Ranking voting period will determine whether Seonghyeon can continue his run beyond eight consecutive weeks.
For CORTIS fans, the latest result adds another milestone to the group’s growing list of achievements. Seonghyeon’s position also keeps attention on the individual members while the group continues its wider music activities.
Future Star Ranking results will depend on the votes submitted during each new weekly voting period, so the rankings can change from one round to another.
