Can you guess who's actually trending in Korea among new girl groups?


hess

Recommended Posts

Let me start by saying that search trends don't automatically equate to popularity.
So, Naver has a function where you can check search trends just like Google, and I compiled rankings for new girl groups (2014-now).
 
What's your best guess at the rankings for 1) girl groups and 2) individual female idols? 
*data is only available up through 8/8/16
Write down your guesses before opening the spoiler!
 
 
 
 
 


Did you write them down yet?


Basically, the most searched term is out of 100 points, everyone else's points are relative to 1st place.
The *recalibrated* column means I used 2nd place as the new 100 so that you can better see the differences.

I made my best guesses for what they trended for. Since I don't follow everyone that ranked, it's not 100% accurate.

For individual idols:

edit:

Somi at #2 likely was because of a combo of the KCON Paris issue + Happy Together guesting + IOI subunit announcement
 
Bonus: people who would've made the list but didn't pass one of the criteria

                                                                         (ft. in GD's That XX)
 
And here's the compilation of biggest weeks that groups/idols had

Tzuyu at #6 trended for mobile CF

Tzuyu at #7 trended because of Twice's debut.

 


 
So how'd you do? Any groups/idols that surprised you? Did your faves make the list?

I expected the popular girl groups in any order in the top 10 tbh, so I was more surprised by some other entries.

 

I didn't know Jisoo's scandal was really big in SK... I mean, I knew it was big, but for it to top the individual list... It must have been really hard for her... :unsure:

 

April being up there for their debut suprised me. :rlytearpls:

 

Somi coming in 2nd for (?) Lmao...

didnt kno jisoo was so popular

From her lesbian rumor scandal. I don't think I saw her rank within top 50 for non scandal related news.

Lol, istg I searched hard, but didn't find a good answer. There were multiple news stories that week for her, so I can't accurately say what the main thing was that people were searching at the time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also...

 

 

the results for all girl groups was really interesting. mess would ensue so I didn't post it.

Wouldn't Somi trending be because of her not being able to perform at KCON France because of her being underaged to work in France and YMC not being able to get a special permit in time? That would be the most likely reason because of the date of the trend (KCON france was on June 2). But idrk so...

 

Also, for all girl groups, do you mean not just new gen groups??

Yep, also her HT3 ep was that week, and so was the announcement of IOI subunit. So yeah.. I wasn't sure if any one of them dominated, or if it was just the effect of the entire combo, so I just left it as ? 

 

All, the tool lets you search starting from 2007.

Ah I forgot about HT3 airing that week, yup it was probably a combination then :lol:

 

Hmmm interesting... Yep it's better not to post it here. It will be a mess, even if you just post for informative purposes, OH users just can't accept facts sometimes :rolleyes:

- The RV debut was so much anticipated.

- The Jisoo thing is juicy people's interest just peaked.

- Also in terms of scandals there will always be virality involved, what shows up in SNS will reflect in the searches too, so not all mainstream media is a representation of what people are actually interested in.

- Als IOI in Korea is just a tornado. 6 of the top 15 individual girls are IOI. 3 of the top 5 girls are IOI. And everything they do they push a peak search.

 

And also the top 5 new gen girl groups are spot on.

 

Overall great analysis, you get a lot more out of this compared to other receipts.

No pre-debut gigs (SMrookies)

 

No survival show (SIXTEEN)

 

No reality show

 

Nothing. Only a bunch of old ass teaser pics pff

Top 4 for girl groups makes sense. Top 3 because of their companies. RV's is obvious. I'm actually surprised that BP wasn't any higher. The group's been hyped up for years and got even more anticipation because of the delayed debut. Maybe because Twice also had a survival? IOI because of their show. I think Gfriend is the most impressive because their peak happened because of their comeback.

 

As for the individual rankings, I wasn't into Kpop news until recently so the Jisoo thing is new to me. Wow... the internet is really such a toxic and volatile thing in SK. Is it because their country is one of the most connected in the world? I think they're one of the first countries to require children to take internet classes at a young age.

YG has been "promoting" them for years now. The company alone is already a magnet for buzz. So there's no surprise or miraculous force behind them o.o

- I'm surprised at how big the Jisoo scandal was too. It beat T-ara's scandal. I guess people found it especially juicy because of the LGBT aspect of it. 

- That P101 exposure.... IOI members took up 13 out of the top 30 biggest weeks  :omg:

 

I can't understand

It's a ranking of who was most searched on Naver. There's one for girl groups and one for individual members. There's also a ranking of all time highest searches (groups/idols can rank more than once).

 

 

The amount of effort you put in  :omg:

If only I had put as much effort towards school  :._.:

I think the problem was that we kept hearing about them for years. There were bits of info here and there over such a long period of time so the hype wasn't able to build up all at one time and make as big of an impact.
