## What the Numbers Mean?

Brand reputation is a popularity-and-buzz measure, not a sales chart. It reflects how much people talk about, search for and engage with a member. A high score signals attention, but it doesn’t rank talent or music success. That’s worth remembering when fans compare placements.

## Conclusion

RESCENE’s showing is the headline. Three members in the top five and a fifth in the top 11 suggests the group has real momentum, and Woni’s 95.10 percent positive reaction rate is hard to ignore. Established names like Jennie and the Girls’ Generation members show that veteran fans are still very active. Rankings shift monthly, so watch next month’s list to see if RESCENE can keep this up.
