IVE member Jang Wonyoung has ranked 1st in the 'K-Brand Index' girl group individual category.

The Asia Brand Research Institute, a big data evaluation agency, announced on the 27th that IVE's Jang Wonyoung was selected as the 1st place in the 'K-Brand Index' girl group individual category. This K-Brand Index girl group individual category analyzed 688,641,587 online big data from October 1 to October 31, 2025, targeting the top 50 in portal site search volume.

This week, the 'K-Brand Index', which selects various categories such as girl group individuals, boy group individuals, trot singers, and actors, has revealed a ranking with a diverse generational mix, attracting attention. The TOP 10 includes IVE's Jang Wonyoung (1st), IVE's Liz (2nd), BLACKPINK's Jisoo (3rd), BLACKPINK's Rosé (4th), BLACKPINK's Jennie (5th), aespa's Winter (6th), IVE's Rei (7th), Girls' Generation's Taeyeon (8th), IVE's An Yujin (9th), and aespa's Karina (10th).

Ryu Won-seon, head of the research center at the Asia Brand Research Institute, explained, "In this girl group individual category, members of IVE and BLACKPINK have proven their presence through consistent search volume and fandom consolidation. In particular, the entry of aespa members into the TOP 10 is interpreted as a result of their global expansion being effectively reflected in online influence. It should be noted that this data is based on online index figures, and offline index figures are not reflected."
