BTS Places Three Members in Star Ranking Top 5, Jimin Takes No.1

BTS Literally Owns the Star Ranking Right Now

This isn’t a comeback week. This isn’t promo season.

And yet, BTS just walked into the Star Ranking chart and took it over. No new music drop, no teaser campaign — just pure fandom power showing up exactly when it counts.

For Gen-Z fans who understand voting culture, streaming discipline, and organized fandom energy, this ranking doesn’t feel surprising. It feels inevitable. Because when ARMY moves as one, the numbers always tell the story.

And the numbers this week? They’re loud.

Okay, so if you haven't checked your timeline lately, let me hit you with the numbers first because they speak for themselves. Jin just claimed the number 3 spot in the 218th Star Ranking Male Idol voting with 6,554 votes. But here's where it gets crazy: that's not even the biggest story.

The Actual Top 5 Breakdown That Has Everyone Talking

Jimin is literally out here dominating with 49,871 votes at number 1. Like, that's not just winning. That's completely lapping the competition. The second place? 2PM's Junho grabbed 16,998 votes. Then Jin rolls in at 3, followed by J-Hope (4,907 votes) at number 4 and V (4,230 votes) at number 5.

Do you see what I'm seeing? BTS has THREE members in the top 5. That's not a coincidence, that's a statement. ARMY really showed up and showed out during this voting period from December 25th to January 1st.

Why This Actually Matters Beyond the Flex

Look, you might be thinking "okay cool, they won some votes," but there's actual incentive here. According to Star Ranking rules, if a star gets the number 1 spot for four consecutive weeks, they get featured on outdoor digital billboards. And if they keep that streak, fans can even submit videos for fan support ads to play on those same billboards.

That means Jimin is literally on track to have his face on massive screens across the city if ARMY keeps this energy going for just three more weeks. That's the kind of visibility that matters in the industry, especially for international recognition.

What the Star Ranking Actually Is (In Case You're New)

So the Star Ranking isn't just some random poll. Fans vote directly for their favorite idols, and the platform actually rewards both fans and artists based on placement. You get a voting certificate when you vote on mobile, and depending on the final ranking, the idols get various perks and benefits.

It's basically a direct democracy situation where fan power translates to real rewards. And honestly? That's why ARMY takes this stuff seriously. Every vote could contribute to getting your bias on a billboard, which is kind of the ultimate fan flex.

The Real Takeaway Here

What's kind of incredible about this ranking is that it shows just how organized and dedicated BTS fanbase is, even when members are focusing on their individual activities. The group didn't need a comeback announcement or new content drop to dominate charts. They just exist, and ARMY shows up.

Jin's placement at number 3 isn't surprising if you follow the fandom, but it's the kind of consistent performance that keeps BTS relevant in a market flooded with new groups and comebacks. Meanwhile, Jimin's 49,871 votes is the type of number that makes other fandoms nervous.

Whether this is the week BTS takes four of the top five spots in the next Star Ranking round? That's the real question ARMY is asking themselves right now. But based on this data, honestly? Don't count them out.
