Last Updated:
With a score of 6,968,708, BTS have shown a strong growth of 4.22 per cent from May.
After a wait of nearly three years, BTS is back as the full group, and fans all around the world could not be happier. With no new album or world tour, just their reunion shot them to the top of the K-Pop Idol group brand reputation rankings for June 2025, proving their global dominance once again. Following BTS is the 13-membered boy band SEVENTEEN, who released Happy Burstday to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary, and girl group BLACKPINK, who is making a comeback next month with new music.
The latest data released by the Korean Business Research Institute analysed consumer participation, media coverage, interaction and community awareness indexes of various idol groups from May 19 to June 19, revealing the names that made it in the popularity chart.
For three consecutive months, BTS has held onto their number one spot on the brand reputation ranking list. With a score of 6,968,708, they have shown a strong growth of 4.22 per cent from May. This big moment came just in time for BTS' FESTA 2025, which celebrated their 12th debut anniversary. Although the septet is still on a group hiatus following the completion of their military services, some of them have been keeping the ARMYs happy with solo releases and special surprises.
Right behind BTS is SEVENTEEN. They climbed back to the second place on the list with a brand reputation index of 5,993,949. This marks a huge 39.05 per cent growth from their last month's score, which was 4,310,647. All thanks to their group concerts and variety show appearances, which made such a jump possible in just a month.
In third place is K-pop girl group BLACKPINK with a brand index score of 4,152,491. The girl group, after a break of almost two years, is all set to hit the road for their upcoming Deadline World Tour, which begins on July 5 in South Korea. BLINKs also have been anticipating new music from the group, and it looks like it might finally be happening.
Following the top three, IVE and BIGBANG secured fourth and fifth place, with brand reputation indexes of 3,629,408 and 2,730,536, respectively. The rest of the five names on June's list are aespa, i-dle, Oh My Girl, TWICE, and Red Velvet. Notably, female groups are dominating this month's chart with only three male groups in the top 10.

BTS' J-Hope emphasizes not taking solo work lightly, reveals working hard despite falling sick in emotional update
With Sweet Dreams, MONA LISA, and lastly Killin' It Girl, J-Hope has once again proven his ace status. Having taken over varied genres with a twist of his own style and a blast of dance, his first love, the BTS member, showed why he deserves all the praise coming his way, and more. Taking to Weverse following the completion of his last schedule, an appearance on Inkigayo, J-Hope dropped a lengthy message addressed to his fans. J-Hope thanks BTS ARMY for constant support and reveals tough times during solo work Writing about how he hasn't been able to stop thinking about the efforts that went into the production of his individual projects, J-Hope revealed how he got very immersed in his work this time, maybe more than the other artists. He did not forget to thank his fans, who are at the center of his work, 'When I think about who's watching, who's listening, who's giving their love and attention, and not to mention, who's consuming, and dedicating their time, in the end ARMY, are at the heart of it all! Right.. of course, it's obvious!! But I also think that treating it as 'obvious', as a given, is something that I have to be really careful not to do.' The rapper added how he did not take any of his work lightly and focused on ensuring everything was perfect till the end. That's how he has spent the past 8 months of his life, making him learn more than ever before. Speaking about how since 2022, when BTS first announced their hiatus for solo projects and military enlistments, he changed as a person, J-Hope turned into a strong individual. 'I've experienced being sick, and tried healing myself, and felt a great sense of accomplishment, and developed confidence. I've also developed a sense of belief in myself and my loving fans. I think I've become stronger and secure! It's all thanks to you.' With only the Lollapalooza Berlin schedule left in his solo journey this year, the star wants to keep the fire burning for another stage-breaking performance, much like the one at Lollapalooza Chicago in 2022.
