Recently, Google trends have published data collected on global searches related to Kpop idols in 2021. The data is from January 1 to December 2, 2021, and the results are not out of the range. Many people’s prediction: the throne still belongs to the BTS member. However, compared to the 2020 rankings, the top 10 this year have had some fluctuations. Last year, even the first-class idol had to “step back” to make room for another name. Here are the 10 most searched idols on Google 2021:
10th place: RM (BTS)
9th place: Rosé (BLACKPINK)
8th place: Jin (BTS)
7th place: IU
6th place: Jennie (BLACKPINK)
5th place: Suga (BTS)
4th place: Lisa (BLACKPINK)
3rd place: Jimin (BTS)
2nd place: Jungkook (BTS)
1st place: V (BTS)
Thus, except for IU, this year’s top 10 is entirely occupied by “familiar faces” from today’s two top idol groups, BLACKPINK and BTS. However, BTS’s j-hope and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo are the only two individuals holding hands together because they can’t match the charm of their teammates.
Besides, Gen 4 idols like espa, STAYC, and ITZY, despite having excellent performances with many viral hits that were well received by the public, were still unable to enter the race of seniors and seniors.
Even the artist who was favourably awarded the title of “Singer Of The Year” by the Asia Artist Awards 2021 (AAA) last night, December 2, was utterly absent. This makes many people wonder if the Pledis boy group has enough influence to hold the noblest trophy in their hands?
