BLACKPINK’s Lisa and BTS’s Jungkook Tops List Of Most Popular K-Pop Maknaes For Five Years Straight
Throughout the years, the popularity of idols fluctuate. May it be due to their popularity, recent scandals, an incredibly successful fan cam, or a recent comeback, a K-pop idol's popularity all over the world will always vary. Sometimes it always goes up, or goes down, or stays the same, really depending on the times.
With that being said, the popularity of the youngest members of a K-pop group, more commonly known as the maknaes, are more likely to have a big following due to their younger age. Because of their age discrepancy, fellow members and K-pop fans hold them to a more caring degree, which in turn garners popularity.
Google Analytics, a web analytics service by Google, is the main tool used to do research when it comes to the popularity of a certain subject, place, or person. Due to this, it was now capable of computing the popularity of a person (in this case, a K-pop idol maknae) all throughout the years.
So without further adieu, these are the top K-pop idol maknaes who are incredibly popular since 2017, based on data from Google Analytics.
