Rosé leads the brand reputation rankings for August 2025

Today, the Korea Brand Reputation Research Institute announced the brand reputation rankings for individual girl group members for August 2025, based on data from July 17 to August 17.

BLACKPINK’s Rosé holds the top spot with an index of 6,815,907, up 15.80% from last month. Keywords associated with her name are “JUMP,” “APT.”, and “Billboard,” with a positive reaction score of 93.42%.

 Jang Won Young (IVE) followed closely at No. 2 with an index of 6,441,557, up 13.41%.

Jennie (BLACKPINK) ranked third with 6,280,705, the strongest growth in the Top 3 with +17.13%.

“APT.” – A global boost for Rosé

The hit “APT.” – a collaboration between Rosé and Bruno Mars – became one of the main pillars that helped Rosé strengthen her brand position. The keyword “APT.” appeared frequently in her brand data analysis.

The song held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 for many weeks, while setting a series of streaming records on YouTube and Spotify.

However, the reliance on “APT.” also created controversy: during a performance in Toronto, the audience almost only knew the lyrics “APT.” without reacting to Rosé’s other solo songs, leaving her confused and the moment becoming a topic of widespread discussion online ([Indiatimes][5]).
