Mon Sep 14 — A fan-voting app crowned Jimin August's runaway idol champion by an 850-million-vote margin. On English Wikipedia the same month, he drew fewer lookups than two of his own bandmates — a pattern that holds again in September's first 12 days.
Sun Sep 13 — Korean outlets named Jin sales king for a sold-out plush toy. On the one number about his group we can check ourselves — a year of English Wikipedia lookups — he ranks 5th of 7 BTS members, 4th of 7 in the most recent month.
Wed Sep 09 — Fans are organising around 13 October. We hold full birth dates for 9,249 Korean entertainers, so we counted every calendar day. That date holds 26 people, ranking 137th of 366. Two of the busiest single days are artefacts we can name.
Wed Sep 09 — Chinese Wikipedia is the most-read edition for 306 of 478 Korean stars. For BTS it leads for none. Spanish tops six of the seven members; Japanese tops Jimin by 4,669 reads over three months.
Tue Sep 01 — We rank 300 Korean names by Wikipedia reads. Nine of the top twelve — V, Jennie, Jungkook, Jisoo, ROSÉ — have fewer than two Netflix charting titles, so our own panel cannot see them. That is 38.8% of the reading.
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.
Wed Aug 26 — We counted which of the ten day stems each of 9,249 Korean entertainers was born on. The spread runs 832 to 984, and a chi-square just crosses the usual threshold. We print that number even though it argues against us.
We hold 319 tags in all. 180 of them are on a single piece, and we do not publish a page for those — the tag still shows on the article, it just does not become an address of its own.
