It can be seen from the fact that some time ago, well-known European and American artists such as Lady Gaga and Selena all collaborated with BLACKPINK, "Korean "Stream" has become increasingly influential internationally in recent years.

The public’s judgment of popularity has also shifted from relying solely on sales and music sources supported by the number of die-hard fans to focusing on network influence. If you want to know the true popularity of a star, the number of fans on social platforms is a criterion that cannot be ignored. Next, let’s take a look at the social network influence rankings of Korean celebrities.

TOP.10 Baekhyun

Due to his strong strength, interesting personality and cute appearance, Baekhyun has become the most popular TOP in the team since his debut.

To this day, he has been able to achieve sales exceeding one million after releasing an album.

Compared with the simple idol route in the past, Baekhyun's development is more mature: on the one hand, he continues to participate in the activities of the sub-unit SuperM, maintaining a high popularity; on the other hand, he has also started a career as a singer. Lu - singing OSTs for TV series, recording solo albums, etc.

After working so hard, he deserves to be ranked among the top 10 most influential Korean stars on the Internet.

TOP.9 G-Dragon

I believe many people still remember the scene of fans wailing when G-Dragon was serving in the military.

At that time, he was known as the "Korean Wave Emperor" and chose to temporarily retire from the entertainment industry when he was popular, which was considered courageous.

However, compared to most male artists who come back immediately after being discharged from the army, G-Dragon’s choice is very strange. His return has been delayed for more than half a year, and there has been no news so far.

Contrary to GD's "Buddhist style", fans are passionate and affectionate, waiting quietly for his comeback and helping him break into the TOP10 list.

TOP.8 Jackson Wang

Jackson Wang should be regarded as the most popular working "working" idol. Because of his outstanding musical ability and good variety show ability, he has a very good reputation in South Korea. good.

In the past few years since he returned to China to develop, his variety show performance is still very outstanding.

Not only can he take the funny route, he created the "Please, Refrigerator" series with He Jiong; he can also be a capable actor and participate in dance and music programs.

It has a high reputation and favorability at home and abroad, and its online influence cannot be underestimated.

TOP.7 Lee Min Ho

As the only actor on the list, it is quite surprising that Lee Min Ho is as popular internationally as idols.

He was an actor who became popular during the heyday of the "Korean Wave". "Boys Over Flowers" and "City Hunter" were both popular dramas across Asia. Even in China, there are loyal fans such as Anita Yuen. Support him.

Previously, he had temporarily retired from the entertainment industry for two years due to military service, and it was not until recently that he returned through a new drama.

Perhaps it is because he has not been seen for a long time that the public pays so much attention to him.

TOP.6 Sehun

The recent period can be regarded as a rare active period for Sehun since 2020.

He first participated in the recording of new singles and new albums as the EXO-SC unit, and later officially announced the endorsement of skin care products.

Judging from the enthusiastic response from fans, 8 years after his debut, Wu Shixun's love has only increased.

Recently, it was revealed that he will participate in the movie "Pirates 2", showing signs of transforming into an actor.

His current strong online influence may also help him develop better on new routes.

TOP.5 Chanyeol

As a member of the EXO-SC unit, Chanyeol's activity trajectory is similar to Sehun. After his comeback period, he also began to star in movies.

It is worth mentioning that the character he plays is a music producer, which is close to his real identity, so he will also personally participate in the production of film music.

Precisely because he is busy with film work, Chanyeol has fewer opportunities to appear, and most of his interactions with fans are through live broadcasts.

However, his popularity is very stable. He is included in the TOP5 of the most influential Korean stars on the Internet and has the highest ranking among male artists.

TOP.4 Jisoo

As one of the lead singers of BLACKPINK, Jisoo has also been quite active recently.

Not only did he release a new single with the group, he also participated in two collaborative singles. This increased her number of fans to 28.1 million, making her one of the most popular female idols.

In addition to her idol career, Ji-soo's development trend in film and television is also quite obvious. She officially announced that she will collaborate with director Jo Hyun-joo on a movie that will achieve transformation from a higher starting point.

I believe that when the new work is released, her influence will be further enhanced.

TOP.3 Rosé

Compared to other members, Rosé basically does not have many personal resources, but this time she ranked third on the list with 28.97 million fans. The ranking can be considered a pretty good result.

The source of Rosé’s popularity actually has a lot to do with her ability. Her tone is special and she never goes wrong in live performances, making her very suitable for producing personal music works.

Many fans also hope that she will have the opportunity to go solo in the future and continue to exert her influence as a singer.

TOP.2 Jennie

Jennie’s unique personal charm adds a lot to her popularity. She is sexy and mature on stage, and can perfectly digest no matter how strange the look is; in private She is very cute and always shows a childish expression when participating in variety shows.

Such contrasting cuteness makes her attract much attention. At the same time, she will also suffer a lot of controversy because of her unique personality.

Generally speaking, in terms of network influence, Jennie, who is a "hotly searched for physique", has certain advantages and can always become the center of public topics.

TOP.1 Lisa

Lisa is indeed Lisa. With 38.9 million fans, she overwhelmingly surpasses all Korean stars. She can be called the artist with the most influence on social networks.

Her charm lies in her strong dancing ability and perfect appearance like a Barbie doll. As long as there is an opportunity for exposure, she will gain the love of the public.

Like the previously popular "Youth With You 2", as a mentor, she has attracted a wave of fans with her sincere character and strict attitude.

At a time when the "Korean Wave" in China is declining, she can still become the most popular Korean star, which shows how lovable she is.

Generally speaking, Korean artists are getting better and better at going global. It is common for them to gain tens of millions of international fans on social platforms.

This is due to their mature star-making mechanism. Every artist on the list is a high-level idol with both strength and appearance.

If Chinese artists want to be like them, they have to put in equal efforts to improve their abilities.
