the 1st 2 is New Jeans and Lim Young Woong, considering the gap between #1 and #2 is so close.. LYW is really amazing.. firstly his target audience is the senior citizens and they are not as tech savvy .. meaning like there is no "Challenge videos" viral tiktoc, or high youtube MV views etc, and lots of branded CF promotions for luxury items and soft drinks, fried chicken market targeted at youngsters.
he is still able to garner such high brand value rankings... amazing .. one thing about trot is that while they may not have GLOBAL popularity or billboard chart rankings their fans tend to last many decades much longer than idol groups and their songs can be longer lasting.. like still being popular after 20 years or so..
