BLACKPINK maintained its position in the second spot of the idol brand rankings for June and is the top girl group on the list, announced the Korea Institute of Corporate Reputation.
The survey that analyzed 150,000,000 pices of date of close to 100 idol group revealed that the top act is Kpop idol group BTS, with 19,031,824 points. BLACKPINK trails at second place with 6,589,376 points while TWICE rounded up the Top 3 with 6,386,629 points, All Kpop reported.
It comes as no surprise that BTS, BLACKPINK and TWICE have landed the top spots on the list because of their exposure not only in Korea but also overseas. BTS recently concluded their Love Yourself Speak Yourself Tour in Europe and is set to take the show to Japan this July.
BLACKPINK also concluded the North American, European and Australian legs of their Your Area World Tour and is set to perform for three nights of sold out concerts in Bangkok this July. TWICE, on the other hand, completed their Asian leg of their TWICELIGHTS tour first before taking on North America next month.
Compared to last month's results, BTS, BLACKPINK and TWICE maintained their hold on the top 3 positions, but the average points changed slightly as BTS raked in 24,441,487 points for May with BLACKPINK at second place with 8,002,206 points and TWICE with 7,702,170 points. All the top idol groups suffered from a slide in the points this June. Following BTS, BLACKPINK and TWICE are ITZY, NU'EST, EXO, IZ*ONE, MAMAMOO, GFriend, and Red Velvet rounded up the top 10 spots this month.
