For his many talents and skills, his versatility as an artist, his mesmerizing beauty, and his charming and warm personality, Jimin has cemented his name as the most popular K-pop idol, having won the hearts of many with all these attributes and more. This is true both for his home country and internationally.

In his home country, he has been crowned as the top idol in brand reputation ranking for 35 consecutive months as of November 2021 and 45 months overall as of October 2022, which is a record that no other idol has ever achieved in the history of the ranking, thereby showing Jimin's massive and unmatched influence in the country. The brand reputation ranking denotes a measure of how the general public perceives an idol, which then determines the idol's marketability in the country. Thus, it is valid to consider Jimin as Korea's favorite and most popular idol going by this ranking.

On the international side, Jimin has also won numerous surveys and polls that seek to evaluate an idol's popularity and impact outside of South Korea. Recently, the 'Shining Awards' voting website hosted an online voting event to determine who fans consider being the 'King of K-pop' among the nominated 10 idols. Jimin emerged first in this ranking with an aggregate of 95,803 votes, which constituted 42.57% of the total votes cast.

Earlier on, a similar voting event for the same title had been hosted by the "mass voting" 'KingChoice' site, which is considered to be the biggest international voting site, attracting million of fans to participate and cast their votes in the manycontests held annually for various titles. This site has held the 'King of K-pop' survey for several years now, and Jimin's overwhelming and ever-increasing global popularity has seen him consistently win the title each year since 2019till the most recent poll in 2022. Here is a previous publication on the same, after he was crowned 'King of K-pop' for a 3rd consecutive year.

Now in 2022, he has yet again emerged at the top of this survey and retained his title after the survey ended on October 31. Thus, it is safe to say that Jimin is the top K-pop idol both in South Korea and Internationally, having proven himself year after year on both sides, and thereby rightfully earning the title of 'KING OF K-POP'.

These are the poll results for the years 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019 with Jimin taking the crown each year.

On another voting platform KDOL, Jimin also won both the October and November rankings as the #1 idol on the platform, making him the winner of the crown for 24 months now. What is more, with this win, he set a new record as the idol with the 'Most hearts per month', again proving his unparalleled popularity as no other idol has ever had such a winning streak month after month, or that many hearts in a month on the platform.

As of the end of October voting, Jimin held the top spot in all ranking categories on the platform as follows:

• 1st in total hearts
• 1st the most in daily ranking
• 1st the most in weekly ranking
• 1st the most in monthly ranking
• Most hearts per day
• Most hearts per week
• Most hearts per month
• Most hearts in Birthday
• Longest 1st in daily ranking
• 1st in daily ranking in a row

The end of November voting also had him hold the same positions, as seen from the results. Below are the image results for the Top 50 Hall of Fame ranking, monthly ranking, weekly ranking (last week of November) and a comprehensive summary of his records on the platform as of end of November.

It is extremely impressive to see Jimin's scale of influence both nationally and internationally; even though he has never been promoted as a solo act but has always been promoted as a member of a group, yet he managed to stand out and make a name for himself. It is unimaginable to think of the kind of impact he will have once he starts to promote his work individually, and fans cannot wait for this new chapter of his career.

Congratulations to Jimin!
