WHIB once again demonstrated its growing presence by topping the weekly idol ranking site FANNSTAR’s New Star Ranking for five consecutive weeks.

WHIB ranked first in the first week of June FANNSTAR New Star Ranking voting, held from June 1 to June 8, with 348,149 votes. UNIS placed second, while ALL(H)OURS ranked third. Maintaining its steady upward momentum, WHIB successfully achieved five consecutive weeks at No. 1, proving the strength of its fandom.

The New Star Ranking is a fan-voted ranking for rookie idols who debuted in or after 2023 and is considered one of the indicators of the next generation of K-pop stars. Since rankings are determined by active fan participation, WHIB’s latest achievement carries special significance.

In particular, by reaching five consecutive weeks at No. 1, WHIB earned the ALL THE K-POP YouTube Main Banner Advertisement benefit. As the first milestone reward of the New Star Ranking, it is being recognized as another meaningful achievement reflecting the group’s growth.

The benefits do not stop there. If WHIB reaches 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1, a Hongdae M Screen advertisement will be awarded. Additional advertising benefits are also available based on cumulative vote totals, including promotions at the Yeouido Eugene Building, Hongdae Mirae Plaza, and the Express Bus Terminal Triple Panorama display.

Having achieved its first major goal of five consecutive weeks at No. 1, fans are now eagerly watching to see whether WHIB can continue its upward trajectory and eventually reach the 10-week milestone.

Meanwhile, FANNSTAR, operated by THE FACT, is a fan-participation platform that contributes to fandom culture through rankings and billboard support. Voting for various categories, including the New Star Ranking, begins every Monday and is open to fans worldwide.
