Groups may collectively gain noise across the K-pop community with their music releases, social media posts, and activities. However, individual members can also take the spotlight from themselves due to their virality, updates, and solo content.
To measure the popularity of K-pop boy group members, the Korean Business Research Institute has officially released its newest brand reputation rankings. The organization managed to collect data from July 17 to August 17.
The results were determined by analyzing factors such as the participation of consumers, their coverage from the media, and overall engagement with fans.
