BLACKPINK’s Rosé has indeed pulled out all the chart-topping and headline-earning stops for her group this month. Despite the YG Entertainment four-member girl group’s current inactivity as a whole while its members pursue solo careers elsewhere, the beloved K-pop team has ranked atop the November idol group brand reputation rankings.
This jaw-dropping success is indisputably attributed to Rosé’s super-viral global collaboration with Grammy-winning artist Bruno Mars for the single “APT.” Shooting back to the top, BLACKPINK left BTS behind as its massive rise in brand reputation index earned the girl group a score of 12,846,175, compared to 3,178,958 in October.

Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo’s group keyword analysis revealed high-ranking phrases, including “Rosé,” “APT,” and “BLINK.” New Zealand-born K-pop singer’s brand gained further traction last week thanks to a surprise performance with her recent musical collaborator at the 2024 MAMA Awards’ Japan chapter.
Other top-ranking K-pop groups
Although the actual performance followed days after the data collection was finalised, boy band BIGBANG also reminded the K-pop community of its star power through an epic reunion of G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung on the final day of this year’s MAMA Awards. The iconic boy band secured 6th place on the rankings chart, scoring a brand reputation index of 2,985,093.
The other Top 5 ranking artists on the chart were BTS, IVE, aespa and SEVENTEEN. Their respective scores are listed below.
