Fandometrics In Depth: K-Pop

The K-pop fandom on Tumblr cannot be messed with. The love for K-pop is so off the charts, it’s the only music genre that exists as its own Fandometrics list. To celebrate the genre and its ultra-passionate community, we analyzed all the tags from January 1st, 2017 through August 16th, 2017 to determine the most talked about groups, idols, and ships. Fighting!

If you’ve been following along since we introduced the K-pop list on May 1st, 2017, you know that BTS has been No. 1 since the very beginning. Furthermore, #BTS was the eighth highest trending tag on all of Tumblr during this six month period. That’s more popular than any TV show, film, or video game. The next highest trending K-pop-related term was #bangtan, at No. 17.

The current state of K-pop

Though our weekly list is made up of both solo artists and groups, we focused solely on the bands for this In Depth (but we see you, G-Dragon 👀).

During this 228 day period, these 30 groups garnered a combined 200 million engagements. We noticed that boy groups are more popular, nabbing 90% of the conversation. K.A.R.D represents the only co-ed group on the list. The full list below:

Writing Prompts

Here are some 5sos prompt ideas you can send my way :)

This is your idea of a date?

This is not happening.

I’ve never seen anyone blush that hard.

I dare you.

Getting shot wasn’t on the agenda.

Don’t walk away from me.

Well, this is all kinds of uncomfortable.

Are we having fun yet?

I knew kissing you was a bad idea.

If you were trying to make me jealous, you succeeded.

What did we just do?

Is this your idea of flirting?

Why is everyone staring at us?

How can I fix this?

Don’t you ever scare me like that again.

Come back to me.

Oh crap.

I’m not sure if I should punch you or kiss you.

You kissed me first.

I’d give it all up if you asked me to.

You’re staring.

You just had to punch that guy, didn’t you?

Is this your idea of being a hero?

We’re not just friends and you fucking know it.

You can’t keep pretending it didn’t happen, cause guess what? It did!

Stop pretending you’re okay, cause I know you’re not.

Bite me

I think you’re just afraid to be happy

You’re so fucking hot when you’re mad

You’re mine. I don’t share

Just shut up and kiss me.

Make me

Do you want to kiss as bad as I do right now

Stop biting that fucking lip!

I missed something didn’t I?

You come to my room and wake me up at 4am, to cuddle?

Is that my shirt?

How can you still look so attractive while crying.

What if I told you I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.

Im too sober for this

Oh god, I need a drink

What? Are you… chicken?.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

I don’t need you. I don’t need any of you.

I am not a prize to be won.

Jesus, you’re acting like you don’t even want to touch me!

I don’t love you. I never have.

Do not try and spin this to be my fault instead of yours.

For once, stop pretending you’re okay! Just talk to me!

Is that… is that my bra?

Request one here!

It’s getting close 😅
