K-pop fans, the numbers are in! The June 2025 girl group brand reputation rankings have just dropped — and there’s a familiar powerhouse at the top: BLACKPINK reigns supreme once again.

According to data from the Korea Enterprise Reputation Research Institute, BLACKPINK clinched 1st place, followed by IVE in 2nd, and Red Velvet rounding out the top 3. The analysis spanned over 53 million data points collected between May 15 and June 15, 2025, covering metrics like media coverage, consumer engagement, online community buzz, and brand participation.

Why This Matters?

These rankings aren’t just about popularity — they reflect how fans talk, search, and connect with these idols online. From concert news to viral moments, the brand reputation index is a mirror of real-time influence.

Compared to May’s 56 million data points, overall brand chatter dipped by 3.87% this month. However, BLACKPINK saw a huge jump — their brand index soared to 6,278,657, a 15.83% increase from May. Key buzzwords linked to them? “Jennie,” “full group comeback,” and “Goyang concert.” The group also recorded an impressive positivity rate of 91.24%, fueled by activities like filming, sellouts, and even philanthropic efforts.

Meanwhile, IVE (An Yu-jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Won-young, Liz, Leeseo) secured second place with an index of 4,997,842, though they saw a slight decline of 3.63% from last month. Red Velvet (Wendy, Irene, Seulgi, Joy, Yeri) landed in third with 3,072,798, experiencing a 10.21% drop.

Other groups that stood out in the top 10 include Le Sserafim, TWICE, Oh My Girl, Kiki, Fifty Fifty, and Meow — each gaining traction in their own right. Le Sserafim, for instance, saw a 3.47% rise in brand index, hinting at growing fan momentum.
