ASTRO Cha Eun Woo defeats BTS' Jin, tops August boy group member rankings

The Korean Business Research Institute has revealed the individual Brand Reputation rankings for boy group members. The institute collected data for 730 boy band members on the basis of consumer participation, community awareness, media activity and communication from July 17 to August 17, carefully determining the results.

It seems that BTS’ Jin, who beat Cha Eun Woo for July’s ranking, couldn't sustain his spot this month. The ASTRO member who topped the individual boy group member Brand Reputation rankings both in April and May lost his spot to Jin in June and July. While the BTS singer was seen at No.1 in both those months, Eun Woo was No.3 in June and No.2 in July, competing closely against his BTS rival. After a long wait he has restored his glory.

High ranking keywords in Cha Eun Woo’s analysis included, “Living in a Rented House in Finland,” “ambassador” and “face genius.” On the other hand, his high-ranking related terms included “flawless,” “advertise” and “pitch.” The artist’s positivity and negativity analysis also disclosed 93.58% positive reactions.
