There is no denying that more and more K-Pop acts are starting to penetrate the international music scene with their catchy tracks, which help them expand their popularity and influence across the planet. On Sunday, Feb. 14, BLINKs were given another reason to celebrate - besides the Valentine's Day revelry - after BLACKPINK members Jennie and Rosé nabbed the top two posts in the February brand reputation rankings for individual girl group members.
BLACKPINK Jennie and Rosé Dominate Latest Individual Reputation Rankings
BLACKPINK member Jennie has defended the top spot again after she got a total of 4,380,571 brand reputation index for the month of February. The "Ice Cream" singer was able to increase her score to more than 53% compared to what she garnered in January. Among the highest-ranking related terms in her keyword analysis include "THE SHOW," "Chum Churum" and "YouTube."
Coming in second place is BLACKPINK member Rosé. The total brand reputation index of the "BOOMBAYAH" singer saw more than 70% rise compared to what she amassed in the past rankings. Rosé, for the month of February, garnered a total of 3,212,101 reputation index. For some, this came as no surprise especially since the anticipation for her imminent solo debut continues to grow by the day.
(G)I-DLE member Miyeon, on the other hand, secured the third spot with a total score of 2,694,661. The brand reputation index of the "HWAA" hitmaker saw an increase of more than 96.20% this month. This, according to some fans, could be because of her fweb series with SF9 member Hwiyoung titled "Replay: The Moment," which served as Miyeon's debut in acting.
Other female K-Pop group members who made it to the ranking this month include MAMAMOO's Hwasa, BLACKPINK member Jisoo, Oh My Girl's Arin, IZ*ONE member Kim Min Ju, Oh My Girl's Seunghee, (G)I-DLE member Yuqi, BLACKPINK's Lisa, (G)I-DLE member Soyeon, Red Velvet member Irene, aespa's Karina, (G)I-DLE member Soojin, IZ*ONE's Jang Won Young, Girls' Generation member Taeyeon, aespa's Winter, (G)I-DLE member Minnie and TWICE's Nayeon.
The artists who wrapped up the Top 30 were Girls' Generation member Hyoyeon, (G)I-DLE's Shuhua, IZ*ONE member Choi Ye Na, IZ*ONE member Kim Chae Won, Red Velvet's Joy, IZ*ONE member Jo Yu Ri, ITZY member Yeji, TWICE's Jeongyeon and Girls' Generation YoonA.
