Recently, Google Korea announced the list of the most searched idols in this country.
On December 11, Google officially announced the top 25 most searched male and female idols in Korea in the past year. This chart reflects the popularity of idols in Korea through a search on Google.
Most-searched male idol
In the top 25 most searched male idols, it’s no wonder that the “king of Kpop” BTS dominates. All 7 members of the group are in the top 25, of which the top 3 positions belong to V, Jungkook, and Jimin respectively. This result is completely worthy when BTS has worked hard, making outstanding achievements such as No.1 Billboard Hot 100. The fierce competition with BTS are the two male groups SM – EXO, and NCT. Each group has 6 representatives in the top 25.
#1 V (BTS)
#2 Jungkook (BTS)
#3 Jimin (BTS)
#4 Baekhyun (EXO)
#5 SUGA (BTS)
#6 Chen (EXO)
#7 Jin (BTS)
#8 Cha Eunwoo (Astro)
#9 Chanyeol (EXO)
#10 Jaehyun (NCT)
#11 Taemin (Shinee)

Most-searched female idols
On the chart for female idols, IU has another successful year when she is at the top, far from a series of popular girlgroup members. Irene (Red Velvet) took second place thanks to her beautiful beauty being honored as the goddess, especially exploding the top of the search because she was involved in a serious attitude scandal. SNSD proves the level of “national group” when there are 2 members ranking high. Jennie is the only BLACKPINK member in the top 10. The maknae, Lisa, even is not in the top 25, which makes the public feel confused.
#1 IU
#2 Irene (Red Velvet)
#3 Yoona (Girls’ Generation)
#4 Jennie (Black Pink)
#5 Taeyeon (Girls’ Generation)
#6 Nayeon (Twice)
#7 Hwasa (Mamamoo)
