All BTS singers secured a rank in the Top 12 brand reputation rankings for individual boy group members.

BTS' Jin has officially broken ASTRO Cha Eunwoo's consistent victorious spell on the monthly brand reputation rankings for individual boy group members.

BTS' Jin beats ASTRO's Cha Eunwoo to take the top spot on June's boy group member brand reputation rankings.

For months on end, the ‘Stay’ crooner clinched the top spot among other male K-pop idols, maintaining his praise-worthy reign. However, the epic return of the eldest BTS member following his military discharge marked a new start for the K-pop supergroup currently on hiatus.

Jin's comeback to the music scene ignited a spark, especially when paired with the grandiosity of the group's 11th debut anniversary on June 13. On top of that the ‘Astronaut’ hitmaker jumped back into his idol shoes by conducting an extraordinary hug event to reunite with his fans and kick off the annual BTS Festa celebrations in style.

The Korean Business Research Institute's June survey again relied on the cumulative analysis of consumer participation, communication, media coverage and community awareness indexes. The data collected from May 15 to June 15 weighed in on the industry presence of 730 boy group members.

After months of staying at the top, ASTRO's Cha Eunwoo slipped to the second spot with a brand reputation index of 3,604,710. Despite going down a rank, his score saw a 24.97% rise since May.
