This year, BTS continues to dominate the top 7 of the chart. However, what is even more special is that the rankings of the 7 members are completely unchanged compared to 2020, and are exactly the same as in 2019. Jungkook continues to hold the top position of the chart. This confirms that the group’s popularity on Tumblr has been very stable over the years.
In addition, BTS is also the most mentioned Kpop group on Tumblr in 2021, and the 13th most mentioned topic on all Tumblr topics this year.
This year’s chart still shows the overwhelming popularity of male idols compared to female idols. A surprise happened when Jisoo (BLACKPINK) became the most popular Kpop female idol on Tumblr in 2021. She rose to 16 places compared to last year, ranked 22nd in this year’s chart. Surprisingly, no BLACKPINK member other than Jisoo made it to the TOP 100, including Lisa or Rosé, even though they have a solo debut in 2021.
