Jin now holds the top spot for the second consecutive month after leading the list in June. This achievement coincides with his recent discharge from military service on June 12, 2024, and his appearance as the torchbearer for the 2024 Olympics relay event in Paris on July 15, 2024.
Other contributing factors might include Jin securing a brand deal as the global ambassador for the French LVMH brand, FRED jewelry, his recent photoshoot with W Korea, his participation in the 2024 BTS Festa, and his upcoming album and shows.
