What Was Analyzed
The star brand reputation analysis was described as a method that analyzes online big data and consumer relationships across various brands, including entertainers, singers, trot singers, drama actors, film actors, boy groups, girl groups, and athletes.
Therefore, the announcement of RESCENE’s first-place ranking should not be interpreted as an overall ranking of music-streaming performance, album sales, number of broadcast appearances, or actual revenue. The information confirmed in this report also does not provide grounds to conclude that RESCENE’s first-place result was caused by a specific activity.

The rankings and figures in this article were confirmed in reports published by OSEN and Star News on August 29, 2026. The original official results from the Korea Brand Reputation Research Institute were not separately confirmed, so it is necessary to check whether an official page is published after this article goes live.
