2016 Most searched new gen female groups/idols on Naver

Recommended Posts

Compilation ranking of how much new generation girl groups/idols were searched on Naver over the year 2016 (taking an average of their weekly numbers using this tool). I searched the most popular girl groups debuting after 2014 and ranked the top 25 Individual idols.

 

Some things that affected the ranking:

-how much they promoted/how much time they spent not promoting

-how successful their song/tv show guesting/drama/etc were

-how late into the year they debuted or got popular (less weekly numbers means their average is inflated)

-scandals or breaking news

-debuts will cause a huge spike in searches (for those that are widely anticipated)

-how easy it is to isolate searches (Jisoo and Mina are both common celebrity names and I was unable to calculate accurate numbers for their searches; for IOI's Mina, I only searched "Kang Mina" and her numbers did not reflect anyone who tried to look her up with only "Mina".

If you want the details of how I calculated these numbers:

 

 

The website allows you to compare 3 search terms at a time. For groups I searched both the Korean and English names together, for idols I searched in Korean their full name and their first name together (with the exception of those whose searches would not be isolated using their first names only). 

 

Once you click enter, you get a line graph with data for the number of searches for each term each week within the specified date range. These numbers are on a scale of 1-100 with 100 representing the week of whichever search term had the highest number of hits. 

 

For both the groups and the individual idols, I found the one in each category that had the highest week and compared the rest to it, so that these numbers are all relative to the same "100". Then I just averaged all the weekly numbers for each of the groups/idols. For groups I started from the week of their debut, or if they debuted before 2016, I started counting from the first week of the year. For idols I started the week that they started to get popular (when their search numbers noticeably increased). If the idols first rose to popularity prior to 2016, then I counted all 52 weeks. If the idols have never really had a jump in searches, I counted from when they debuted. The cutoff for making it into the individual idol ranking list was an average of 1.

Oh wow I didn't know yeonjung was searched up that much

She was pretty prominent throughout P101 for her vocals, and she was highly searched when news about her joining WJSN came out.

I wished you calculated Jisoo and jennie tho they are the most popular in blackpink

Oops, I just realized I misspelled Jennie. I did do her though, I just wrote her as Jenny. And I explained why Jisoo was difficult to search for in the OP. Numbers for the search "Kim Jisoo and Jisoo" had an average of 7.2, but there are other popular and active Jisoos even with the last name Kim, which was evident because the terms were highly searched before BP's debut. It was hard to determine how much of that was people searching for BP's Jisoo.

You mean search "blackpink kim jisoo"? That didn't give any results, it's 0 for the year.

It really sucks I was curious too. I'm fairly certain she's the most popular BP member, and I wanted to see where she ranked.
