On the boy group members chart, RIIZE’s Wonbin and Eunwoo have been going back and forth, swapping their ranks for months. Once again, the 2002-born SM Entertainment artist claimed second place with a brand reputation index of 1,953,300, showing a significant increase from his April score.
NCT’s Doyoung saw a huge jump in his score with a cumulative score of 1,921,339.
