    I haven't checked brand reputation in a while but it's nice to see Ive is included and wonyoung being #1 and see my girls in the top 10


    Brand Reputation Index analyzes the positive and negative evaluations, media interest, consumer interest, and communication volume. I know people don't take it seriously but I do think some things are accurate.

    This list is honestly BS. Njs members don’t appear here. Also this list can be easily manipulated by companies publishing tons of positive articles. This list doesn’t even show how much buying power, or how popular idol is, hence it is completely meaningless.


    Like let’s compare for example Asa from BM and Irene from RV on this list. Asa is one spot higher than Irene, and you would think wow BM member might be more popular than Irene this month? Right?

    No, Irene is easily much more popular than all BM members combined.

    So I wouldn’t take this list seriously

    I don't think is BS and I've been saying this for years it's about who is promoting. For example when blackpink is not active they go lower when one of the member is promoting they tend to be in the top 3 but it doesn't happen when they are inactive. it's based on data ( positive and negative evaluations, media interest, consumer interest,) it might not be super accurate but it's definitely based on something. Babymonster are doing well on charts though even after 2 months and they are constantly active. is Irene promoting?

    Stop being dumb. The list is BS. The one guy operating it has literally excluded idols and groups due to his personal beef with various fandoms, and he refuses to disclose his method for compiling the data, something much more reputable organizations will be more than happy to do. The list was exposed as fraudulent AGAIN months ago when Bunnies called them and exposed them for having an agenda with their rankings.


    These should've been abandoned and banned years ago

    It absolutely doesn’t show consumer interest. Or else Njs would appear here. Or do you think Lisa is getting brand deals because she is ranked high on this chart? Or Yuna from Itzy? Also good for BM for having a semi viral song in Korea, but their individual popularity(in this case Asa’s) is just near 0 compared to many other popular idols in this list in Korea.


    This list just shows how often this idol is talked about in the past month or so, but still it can be super manipulated, so I can’t take this list seriously.


    And we have much more accurate and better lists compared to this. Such as Naver, Google and Yt searches, gallups, very reputable surveys and such, which shows more accurate picture of idol’s individual popularity and brand value….


    Also Irene had a cb in December

    maybe it's because they are on a legal battle why they weren't included their situation is a bit unique + they changed their name too. I don't know but Wonyoung, ive and blackpink and Karina being there makes sense to me. Jisoo just recently dropped music and she is topping youtube music korea for example. I don't know about Asa but for baemon for it makes sense as they have good streams and they are touring

    Irene flopped like she is doing ever since her scandal unlike Asa who isn't the top idol, but is being talked about a lot in k forums, etc bc baemon is promoting, touring and funny enough they are being the best second performing gg in several charts in SK behind just Aespa.


    This list isn't the best, but imagine writing paragraphs bc of Irene like .. did she chart better than baemon? Sell more?

    As op clearly stated in her op, this is based in having positive reactions from articles, etc, so it's not a surprise Asa is there where she sometimes trends in SK.

    Can you read what I said? It is absolutely not about BM nor about Irene. I just took them as examples. No need to lose your mind because of it.


    You clearly missed the point.

    You clearly missed the point.

    You lost your mind bc Irene whose debut didn't make a single sound were behind Asa whose group is right now the second best performing gg in multiples kr charts and yt and has a positive image so what point?


    "and you would think wow BM member might be more popular than Irene this month? Right?

    No, Irene is easily much more popular than all BM members combined."

    Irene was massive in her peak, but not anymore.


    Op didn't say this is Gallup Korea.

    This is just another list who uses others metrics and if you don't want to count this list for anything, don't, but don't try to discredit it by using Asa as an example of "not reliable list".

    How do you know that I lost my mind, when I don’t Stan Irene nor do I care about her lol.

    I didn’t even like her song.


    I clearly stated that I took those 2 as examples. I could take Lisa and other girl, or Yuna and other girl and make comparison.

    Quote from Taemin-Identity

    Like let’s compare for example Asa from BM and Irene from RV on this list.

    It just shows how low comprehension skills you have. And you are clearly losing your mind and trying to prove by showing BM’s current positions on charts.


    Why get so sensitive when I just took those 2 as examples lol.



    You can shade Karina who is third on this list by saying she is behind WY and Rose, but I won’t lose my mind, cuz this list is just meaningless.


    As I said before it just shows how many articles and comments about you was written in the past month or so, and it still can be manipulated by companies(because they do publish about their idols and pay for media outlets, this person who does this list can also manipulate). Also we don’t even know clearly which metrics that person uses to do this list lol.

    And why would I shade Karina? :skull: I don't care who is first or last in this list, but I wouldn't name an idol who made 0 noise in her debut and try to show how this list is wrong bc she is behind another idol.


    And every list, article, anything can and is being manipulated by big companies... Who knows what is actually reliable or not?

    you can't deny they way you phrased things were a bit condescending though you could have get your point across in a different way. But baemon girls are popular overseas (for 4th and 5th gen) and have a big fandom and are always releasing content. I forgot but they are constantly touring those things counts. I don't think your example with Irene illustrate what you wanted to say. I get what you wanted to say though but no matter how popular an idol if they aren't promoting t or being active in any way hey aren't gonna trend or be talked about on Korean forums or social media



    "Like let’s compare for example Asa from BM and Irene from RV on this list. Asa is one spot higher than Irene, and you would think wow BM member might be more popular than Irene this month? Right?

    You are still missing the point. It is not about them


    If you think Irene flopping with her debut makes her less popular than Asa currently then you are delusional.


    This list is pointless regardless of who is on it.

    We are talking about Korea, not overseas popularity. This list is based off Korea’s stats.


    Anyways I wish people will stop relying on this pointless list, cuz it is heavily biased by person publishing this list.

    International achievements influence the korean perception like spoitify streams groups selling out stadiums l I thought you knew this. There are still articles about groups selling out concerts on korean media. it helps


    brand reputation is even reported on korean media example here

    You think Koreans are obsessed with Wy and Karina because they/their groups are popular overseas? I don’t think so.


    Or did it help Skz who are 100 times more popular overseas than in Korea?


    Or did Lsfm’s bbh100 entries helped them in Korea?

    I think you are missing the point. One thing is not related to another. Knetz were obsessed with jennie ( they still are ) before blackpink blew up globally. What I'm saying global achievements help a korean group trend too. There are many ways for a group to get some public awareness.

    Unfortunately, for boy groups is harder. Boy groups don't trend in korea unless you are bts or BB


    Lsfm were popular some members are I think it had to do more with the negative press they had after coachella thing.

    And later the whole hybe drama affected them indirectly.

    You better stop trying to bully my hoobae or I'll have something to say about it.


    These brand reputation lists are utter gutter trash. Why does anyone take them seriously still?

    They can trend for their global achievements for few days but that will be it.


    The main thing that will be the main factor for their stardom in Korea is music and visuals(personality too to some extent). If you have both then you will become Jennie.


    If Babymonster songs wouldn’t chart then they wouldn’t be talked. Drip is in top 15 on kcharts and it creates a lot of buzz among gp, and it will be the main factor for them to become more popular in Korea.

    Quote from CaraFIMIE

    The first time AKP is truly active in WEEKS...

    because of stupid arguments over who's more popular :eyeroll-pepe:


    Just because Irene's solo "flopped" does not make her less popular.

    Not like she is doing anything that is creating a buzz?? She was massive in her peak days, but nowadays even less popular idols are above her in many areas and searches.

    We are not gonna act like Irene is still a A list idol. She was, not anymore.

    Even if you think she's not an A list idol anymore, she is still incredibly well-known.


    She is more well-known than most of the idols and groups on that list (I havent even seen the list).

    Well known, cool, still tons of idols are more popular than her now and have numbers to back it up.

    As I said, in her peak she was massive, but after the scandal things changed drastically.

    Their ranking have no real criteria and they take a lot of freedom making it

    Like the time it was reveal that they completely excluded Newjeans members in the BR ranking when they were in the middle of their fight against HYBE and they were the most talk idols in korea at this time

    Can't believe in 2024 people still take BR ranking seriously and as a real measure of their favs success and popularity


    Think a bit more

    The stupidity and superficiality of the general KPop stans, as well as the depravity of the KPop media, are the reasons why such hypocritical rankings still exist. Ranking makes these stans feel good. Supply and demand.
