Privatizing a GitHub repo makes the stars fade away?

For a paper, we had to publish my code. Now the professor asked students to implement it also, and he asked me to "make the repo invisible for a month".

The only way I think I can do that is by paying for a month and get it private.

The question: Are its stars (26 in that project) going to be lost? In other words, when I make it public again in one month, are the stars going to be 26 or 0?

You permanently lose all your stars and watchers, as the picture mentions:
