BTS' Jimin has already made a powerful return to the spotlight just days after completing his military service. According to the Asia Brand Research Institute’s latest update on June 23, 2025, he secured the No. 2 spot on the Boy Group Individual K-brand Reputation rankings.
The rankings, published on K-brand’s official website, are determined through online data analytics, examining factors such as consumer interest, engagement, communication, and media coverage.

His popularity and impact have touched fans, many of whom have taken to social media to celebrate this moment and express how proud they are of his continued presence and recognition in the industry.
