According to an analysis of big data, the ranking of individual members of boy groups yields little movement. Kang Daniel, the top ranking finalist of the second season of “Produce 101 Season 2” takes the top spot again. For 2018, Kang has been ranked in the No. 1 spot almost every month, proving his popularity and marketability. Coming in second and third place are BTS members Jimin and Jungkook, respectively.

The Korea Enterprise Institute analyzed the rang reputation of 476 boy group members from November 4 to December 15 to determine the results. As part of their analysis, the Institution looked at the individual’s brand, media attention, consumers’ interest, communication, and influence.

In total, Kang has a reputation index of 14,131,362. Notably, it is a 20.4% increase from November where he has 11,734,167. BTS Jimin experienced a 3.4% drop from his score of 13,825,190 in November. For December, the singer has a total of 13,350,480. Conversely, Jungkook saw an increase of 5.8% from last month. Last month his index was tallied at 9,580,297. This month it is 10,137,559.

The rest if the artists in the top ten are almost exclusively from two groups. Behind Jungkook is fell members BTS V, then WANNA ONE Ha Sung-woon, ASTRO Cha Eun-woo, WANNA ONE Park Ji-hoon, BTS Jin, WANNAONE Lee Dae-hwi, WANNA ONE Ong Seong-wu, WANNA ONE Hwang Min-hyun, NU’EST Baekho, and WANNA ONE Kim Jae-hwan.
