The July 2025 brand reputation rankings for individual boy group members are in — and BTS’s Jimin is back on top!

According to the latest big data analysis from the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute, Jimin ranked 1st, followed by BTS’s Jin in 2nd place and BIGBANG’s G-Dragon in 3rd. The data was collected from June 19 to July 19, analyzing 84.89 million pieces of data from 755 male idol members based on participation, media exposure, communication, and community activity.

Jimin once again showed his unbeatable presence with a brand reputation index of 5,349,496, although it dropped 15.10% from June. His related keywords were “record,” “celebrate,” and “unchanged,” while trending topics included “ARMY birthday,” “Like Crazy,” and “Who.” His positive feedback rate reached 92.08%, showing strong public support.

Jin came in 2nd with 4,791,370 points, marking a massive 48.72% increase compared to last month. His return to solo activities and fan concert tour likely helped boost his numbers significantly, showing his growing popularity even while balancing group and solo schedules.

G-Dragon continues to hold steady at 3rd, with a brand score of 4,275,862, showing only a slight drop from last month. Despite fewer group promotions, his individual brand power remains strong.
