The queen returns! BLACKPINK tops girl group brand reputation rankings for January ๐ (ft. The classic "Apart Yet Together")
Hello everyone! Happy New Year! ๐
We've got exciting news for you, starting 2026. As any K-pop fan would have expected, it's still a thrilling name to hear! BLACKPINK has proudly taken first place in January's girl group brand reputation rankings!
In fact, there are so many strong junior groups in this industry, and trends change so quickly. It's truly remarkable that they're still at the top. Today, I'm going to take a look at why BLACKPINK remains so "unrivaled" and their charm. All BLINKs, gather around! ๐ค๐
1. The unstoppable brand power of 'Blackpink'
Honestly, I feel like BLACKPINK has become more than just a K-pop girl group. They've become a massive "brand" and an "icon" of the times.
Even though there were times when the group's hiatus was quite long, it's surprising how the public's interest, far from waning, only intensified. This year's top brand reputation ranking proves it. Data analysis reveals that positive keywords like "record" and "breakthrough" were overwhelmingly dominant. This means the world is still paying close attention to these four members' every move.

2. Separate yet together, a perfect synergy strategy
I think the biggest secret to Blackpink's longevity is that their 'separate but together' strategy was a perfect success.
Not only is the explosive power of the four members combined, but each member also demonstrates tremendous influence as a solo artist. Jennie, Lisa, Rosรฉ, and Jisoo each have their own distinct colors, shaking up charts worldwide with each solo album or activity. Even when the group isn't promoting, there's a constant stream of news about each member, so fans have no time to rest. Isn't this the key driving force behind maintaining their brand reputation?

3. A walking human luxury item, a fashion icon
It would be a shame to talk about Blackpink without mentioning their fashion! ๐๏ธ
Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Celineโฆ As ambassadors for global luxury brands that make people gasp just hearing their names, they hold a unique position in the fashion world. Even if the members show up at the airport or post a photo on Instagram, the item immediately sells out!
She's not just good at wearing pretty clothes; she's also incredibly talented at creating new trends by perfectly embodying those clothes in her own unique style. I'm half-excited and half-worried about what styles will threaten our wallets in 2026.

4. Strong bonds and blinks
Lastly, what cannot be left out is the strong relationship between the members and the bond with the fandom 'Blink'.
The way they've grown and relied on each other since their debut is a hugely moving point for fans. Even though they each do their best in their own areas, the chemistry they display when they come together as a group is incredible! And I think the BLINKs' firepower, waving their pink lightsticks wherever they go around the world, is what made BLACKPINK who they are today. Isn't this #1 win ultimately the result of BLINKs?

5. In conclusion: 2026 is the year of Blackpink!
Well, today I'm going to talk about Blackpink, who brought us some good news to start the new year.
Ranking first in brand reputation in January 2026 is just the beginning! I have no doubt that this year, whether as a group or soloist, there will be a variety of activities waiting to delight our eyes and ears.
What activities are you most excited for from the Blackpink members this year? Let's talk freely in the comments! See you in the next post! Bye! ๐
