[The Fact | Reporter Lee Na-rae] Plave took 1st place in the weekly idol ranking site 'Fan N Star' Global Hot Star Ranking.

Plave took 1st place with 13,762,551 votes in the 'Fan N Star' Global Hot Star Ranking vote for the second week of September held from the 9th to the 16th. Stray Kids took 2nd place with 10,197,777 votes, and TXT took 3rd place with 993,400 votes.

The Global Hot Star Ranking is a vote that selects K-pop artists who have captivated the world. Idols from the 4th and 5th generations who have built a global fandom are nominated. In particular, it is receiving attention from the fandom because it is linked to the 'Global Hot Star Award' of 'The Fact Music Awards'. The voting currently in progress is a pre-vote for 'Global Hot Star' held next year, and 20% of it will be reflected in the final vote. The artist who takes 1st place will receive the Global Hot Star Trophy at the 2025 'The Fact Music Awards'.

'Fan N Star' will advertise at Hongdae N Square in Mapo-gu, Seoul if the artist takes 1st place for 10 consecutive weeks in the Global Hot Star rankings, and will announce the news through a wall-wrapping advertisement at Hongdae Station in Mapo-gu, Seoul if they take 1st place for 30 consecutive weeks, a chandelier at Lotte World in Jamsil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, a billboard in Hong Kong and Paris, France if they take 1st place for 70 consecutive weeks, and a media tower at Starfield Media Tower in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do if they take 1st place for 100 consecutive weeks.

There are also special benefits given to all artists who reach a certain number of votes regardless of rank. Global benefits are provided through the Philippine billboard when 100 million cumulative votes are achieved, the Singapore billboard when 200 million are achieved, the French billboard when 300 million are achieved, the Hong Kong billboard when 500 million are achieved, and the New York billboard when 1 billion are achieved.

Along with the news of Plavee's first place, fans who participated in the vote sent congratulatory messages to the official 'Fan N Star' text message box. Nickname 'Plep' said, "Let's win an award at the Plavee 2025 TMA too."
