Which girl group member is the most popular in Japan?
Japan’s SNS site Mixi researched on the Korean girl
groups with the greatest number of fanclub members. Although it’s hard
to get an accurate representation through only one site, Mixi is one of
the most popular social network services amongst Japan’s youth, boasting
over 21 million members.
On September 24th, Mixi reported that KARA’s Goo Hara had 6,500 fans, likely due to her similarity in appearance to Japan’s Amuro Namie.
The member with the second most fans is SNSD’s Yoona
with 5,500. Yoona was also previously chosen as the #1 most popular
SNSD member in a survey that ranked their popularity in Japan.
KARA’s Nicole (4,500), SNSD’s Taeyeon (3,300), and KARA’s Kang Jiyoung (3,200) followed Goo Hara and Yoona. Other members had about 2,300 to 3,000 fanclub members each.
4minute’s Hyuna has about 1,000 fans on Mixi as well.
Group wise, SNSD held 24,700 members, while KARA held 23,800. Both
teams have managed to rank in the top five overall category for Japanese
girl group idols.
