Thu Sep 10 — One morning brought two announcements: a BLACKPINK member fronting an iPhone camera, a BIGBANG member fronting McDonald's. Our brand panel covered luxury, jewellery, fashion and cars — not phones, not burgers. So we added both.
Mon Sep 07 — We found the single best month of 774 Korean acts on English Wikipedia and counted what survived it. The median act fell below half within two months. One group held out 65. BigBang's own last peak halved in one.
Tue Sep 01 — Seven BTS members, four Southeast Asian Wikipedias, twenty-eight checks. The group page wins every one. Six other acts lose to their own members in every country we could measure — and Mark Lee does both at once.
Mon Aug 31 — Of the sixteen groups with more than 20,000 English Wikipedia opens in our window, exactly two rose by more than a third. NCT 127 multiplied further; BigBang added more readers. We do not know why either happened.
We hold 319 tags in all. 180 of them are on a single piece, and we do not publish a page for those — the tag still shows on the article, it just does not become an address of its own.
