A Thread :

✨ A lot of people don’t know how BR works and there's a common misconception that comebacks are the most important thing when calculating BR (is that true?)

✨ IDOLS ARE PRODUCTS ?

Idols are sold to us as products.
They are an investment made by the company in order to profit from their likeness as well as their artificial image made to sell to the public.
A good company can differentiate themselves from other companies,
3.

in kpop's case, that could be by what type of groups they produce (ex. visual, cute, "swaggy" or the plagiarism group) or a scandal, something that's not favorable to the general public, and if it were to occur, it can highly affect the company, and or idol.
4.

By doing this, the idol represents the company and the company represents the idol.

✨ BRAND REPUTATION
How a particular brand (whether for an individual or a company) is viewed by others.
A favorable ✨

✨ BRAND = Relevancy & Differentiation

✨ REPUTATION = Legitimacy

✨ THE IMPORTANCE OF BR IN SOUTH KOREA (FOR IDOLS)

According to the Korean Business Research Institute as reported by KpopBehind, "The institute decided the rankings based on factors such as :

(1) a social participation index
(2) a social communication index
6.

(3) a media index
(4) an online community index

while the indexes basically show how many netizens are talking about a certain idol group over a specified period of time.

But the problem is that the indexes don't reflect idol groups' actual positions in the k-pop industry."
7.

✨ WHY BR IS IMPORTANT?

Essentially, people are going to talk and it's favorable for the company to know what's being said in order to address it in the best way possible.

To quote "You reflect your brand and you reflect yourself as in individual"
8.

but the publicity doesn't always have to be good, but good enough where you can get deals and sponsorships.

✨ THE FLAW WITH BR
Many people believe that it's not an accurate representation of an idol/ groups popularity.
As researched by KPOP Behind
"Popularity of the idol groups can't be measured numerically", the indexes don't reflect groups' actual positions in the kpop industry.
