What Star Ranking Means for Actors

Star Ranking is a fan-driven voting platform where fans directly vote for their favorite celebrities.

The results can sometimes lead to additional promotional opportunities. For example, stars who hold the No.1 position for four consecutive weeks may receive outdoor billboard advertisements.

Fans can also organize fan-supported billboard videos celebrating the star’s achievement.
