On the 25th of this month, the кσяєα Corporate Reputation Research Institute announced the June 2025 Top Idol Individual Brand Reputation Rankings. The analysis is based on 162,724,131 big data on 1,730 idol individual brands, extracted from May 25, 2025 to June 25, 2025.
This is the most prestigious monthly reputation ranking, identifying who, where, how, why, and what consumers are talking about. It also means that the top idol is the one with the greatest appeal during the specified period.
This June, Jimin took the No. 1 spot with a brand reputation index of 6,984,609, despite being discharged from the military on June 11. Compared to the brand reputation index of 3,210,876 in May, this index increased by 117.53%.
Director Koo Chang Hwan said, "In the link analysis, Jimin's 'discharge, return, donation' ranked first, and in the keyword analysis, 'discharge, 5th Division Artillery Brigade, ARMY' ranked first. In the positivity/negativity ratio analysis, he recorded a big data positivity ratio of 94.55%."
Not only that, this achievement also helped Jimin to remain as the First and Only idol to ever rank #1 for 26 months overal. This proves the great influence that BTS's vocals have on the public after 2 years of absence due to military service.
On the other hand, besides Jimin, there are 3 other BTS members in the top 10 of the June rankings, including: Jungkook (4th place), Jin (7th place), V (8th place). BTS as a whole also ranked 2nd in the group reputation rankings with 6,843,685 points.
Although BTS in general and Jimin in particular have been on hiatus for a long time, they have never been "hot" or not been the center of attention on social networks. Now that the superstars have returned, they are regaining their previous position!
ARMYs are currently celebrating this achievement all over SNS:
