[Brand Reputation] August 2024 K-POP Female Idols TOP 50:
[ブランド評判] 2024年8月 K-POP女性アイドルTOP50：から
The Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute measures and announces the reputation index (participation index, media index, communication index, community index) of various brands in Korea every month. This brand reputation is the result of big data analysis from July 18, 2024 to August 18, 2024.
Strange?
Really strange...
How strange!
Let's move on.
The reason I thought so was because I didn't know Jiwon of Signature in 3rd place.
I'm definitely starting to get acquainted with the girls from the 4th generation onwards. However, once a girl group has become popular, even members in less prominent positions should be remembered, but I had no memory of Jiwon from Cignature.
After researching, I found out that she was a former member of "GOOD DAY" and is now part of the girl group "Cignature." She made a comeback with "풍덩" two months ago. I don't know how much it sold.
When I looked up Jiwon further, I found out that she is currently the "new queen of WATERBOMB" among her various activities, and is participating as a vocalist in the release of the summer song "Let's Go to the Beach."
I searched for the summer song "Let's Go to the Beach" on YouTube, but I couldn't hear her singing.
The main reason why Jiwon has jumped into third place, not first, second, or fourth, is that the Jiwon buzz mentioned above attracted so much attention to this index?
No matter how you look at it, it makes sense for Yujin to jump into third place. Considering IVE's reputation and success at Lollapalooza, it seems natural that Yujin follows in third place, sandwiched between Wonyoung and Karina at first place.
IVE is a girl group that has steadily risen in popularity since their debut.
Despite that, they have rarely managed to stay at the top of the rankings in these types of surveys.
Or at least it seems like it took a long time for them to stay at the top.
Even in the monthly "Top 50 Female K-Pop Idols," it was rare for even Wonyoung to appear in the top spots. She was flying around all over the place with solo offers, This was the case even when she was in the top 10.
The other members were even worse.
Everyone except Wonyoung was ranked lower across the board, and Yujin, like Minji (New Jeans) this time, was often found near the back of the list.
Lately she has been ranking higher than the other members more often. I'm sure that last time, she and Wonyoung both stayed in the top 10 together and appeared there.
I've only just realised this after writing this much.
It seems Jiwon really needed to be in 3rd place this time. If she'd been lower, 4th or 45th would have been fine. It wouldn't make any difference.
No, at 49th place it might have been a little better, with Minji (New Jeans) next at 50th.
In other words, anyone would feel uncomfortable with her being between Wonyoung in first place and Karina in second.
But between Yujin, who has previously been ranked like Minji is now, and Karina in second place, there may be quite a few people who would just brush it off, even if they felt it was a little strange.
When other sites that cover Korean Wave articles cover this article, don't they just normally feature Jiwon in third place in their headlines...?
