What Does the Brand Reputation Index Analyze?
According to reports, the index is calculated by analyzing big data related to consumer participation, media, communication, and community activity. It can therefore be understood as showing interest and related activity formed online during a specific period.
However, it was not confirmed that the singer brand reputation index is an official performance indicator equivalent to music performance, sales, or actual public popularity. The rankings should not be broadly interpreted as an absolute ranking of musical superiority or overall popularity.
Why RESCENE Became a Topic of Discussion
Reports on the subject mentioned member Won-i’s social media content, the resurgence of “LOVE ATTACK,” and the remake of “Pretty Girl” as factors behind the attention surrounding RESCENE. These points were presented in reports as background explaining the brand reputation results.
Below is RESCENE’s official “LOVE ATTACK” music video, which was directly mentioned in reports as related content.
Singer Brand Reputation and Star Brand Reputation Are Separate
RESCENE was also mentioned as ranking first in star brand reputation reports published on August 29–30. However, this was a separate classification covering data from July 29 to August 29, 2026.

- Reports published on August 29–30: Star brand reputation covering July 29–August 29
- RESCENE was mentioned as No. 1 in both results, but the survey periods and classifications were different.
