fans has always been an important data for testing the influence of artists. In Korea, we usually look at the fan data of these platforms. The first is ins, which is an important platform for idols to share their daily lives. The second is Twitter, which is similar in nature to ins. The third is YouTube channels. Many artists will open their own YouTube channels when they develop to a certain extent. Fourth, Vlive, this is a platform often used by Korean idols for live broadcasts.
Today we will talk about the ranking of Korean artists’ Twitter followers. We are very familiar with the boy group that occupies the first place. It is BTS (Bulletproof Youth League), one of the most famous Korean boy groups in the world. BTS’s official Twitter account has 25.75 million followers, making it the top three-generation boy group.
Why is BTS said to be leading in a discontinuous manner? You will know just by looking at the number of fans in the second place. In second place is the solo artist G-Dragon, who has 8.78 million fans. This is G-Dragon's personal number of fans. If you look at it personally, G-Dragon is definitely the most powerful. The number of fans of
BTS is 16.97 million more than that of G-Dragon. BTS is definitely the most outstanding in terms of number.
In third place is JYP’s boy group GOT7. GOT7’s official Twitter has 8 million followers. Among the top ten Korean artists in terms of Twitter followers, not only the official account of GOT7 ranks third, but the personal accounts of GOT7 members also enter the list. They are the only team and individuals to rank in the top ten.
GOT7 Thai member bambam’s Twitter account has 5.99 million followers, ranking seventh. The Twitter account of GOT7 Chinese-American member Duan Yien (MARK) has 5.4 million followers, ranking eighth after bambam.
The fourth-placed boy group is EXO, a boy group under SM, with a total of 7.89 million fans. EXO, which debuted in 2012, followed the development route of China and South Korea. Due to some reasons, its development is now concentrated in South Korea and Japan. Everyone also knows EXO’s influence in China. Even though it has been 8 years since their debut, EXO’s current influence in China has not been surpassed by other Korean groups. If there were no "wall", the number of EXO fans might increase a lot.
There are only four Korean groups in the top ten of Twitter fan rankings. In addition to the above-mentioned BTS, GOT7, and EXO, there is another group, which is also the only girl group. She is TWICE, the girl group under JYP, the TOP of three generations of girl groups. TWICE's official Twitter account has a total of 5.35 million followers, ranking tenth. As the only girl group, TWICE’s achievements are already very good.
JYP’s artists are very popular on Twitter. 2PM member Nichkhun has 7.04 million followers on Twitter, ranking fifth.
Ranked sixth is Choi Siwon (SIWON), a member of SM’s boy band SJ. He has 6.97 million followers on Twitter.
Among these ten, there is only one single female artist, and she is Park Sandora (Dara). Dara has 5.4 million Twitter followers, ranking ninth on the list.
It can be seen from this list that BTS, GOT7, EXO, and TWICE are the four Korean groups with the largest number of fans on Twitter. Solo artist G-Dragon is the most influential, and Dara is the most influential female artist overall. Both of them are among the top ten richest artists in Korea.
