BTS‘s Jimin has once again proven his incredible popularity by taking the top spot in a Japanese poll for the 18th month in a row!
Jimin ranked first in a monthly survey held by the Japanese Korean Wave media outlet Danmee. The poll, titled “Most Popular K-pop Male Idol in August,” ran from August 20 to August 27, 2024, and Jimin shined the brightest in the results.
Jimin secured first place with 2,852 votes, making up 45.78% of the total 6,230 votes, setting a new record by winning for 18 consecutive months.
Danmee reported, “Jimin’s second solo album MUSE was released on July 19, and its title track ‘WHO’ continues to perform well on the UK’s Official Singles Chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100,” sharing the exciting updates alongside news of his poll victory.
Japanese fans celebrated Jimin’s ongoing success by leaving messages on the poll’s forum. Some of the comments read, “Jimin’s voice and dance bring happiness every day,” “Jimin-chan is the best, I’ll always cheer for you,” and “I’m always captivated by Jimin’s singing, dancing, and his hard work.”
The survey, which reflects the opinions of K-pop fans in Japan, allows each person to vote only once for their favorite idol to keep things fair.
Danmee selects 27 male K-pop idols for the poll based on their domestic activity, brand reputation, mentions on social media, and page views on Danmee articles.
