Everything that an idol does becomes a hot issue, not matter how trivial it is.
Their influence can be seen immediately on social networking platforms such as Twitter, where everything they write has high engagement, being retweeted immediately and can even make news. Joongang Ilbo took a few tweets over the past few weeks and tracked the retweet numbers for the week of January 16 to January 22.
Nine out of the top 10 spots were taken by Super Junior members, and one spot went to Big Bang's G-Dragon.
The #1 tweet was from Kyuhyun, where all he wrote was "Eheheheheheheh" and attached a photo of himself with the same face as a doll. The tweet currently has over 26,000 retweets.
