Tumblr has revealed the most popular K-pop groups and individual members on the microblogging site for the year 2017.

It added, "We looked over thousands of lines of data, scouring each and every popular tag in each and every popular category. We sorted this data with our very own Fandometrics rating technique, the pleasingly scientific system that measures searches, original posts, reblogs, and likes to rank your enthusiasm and love."
