Frequently asked questions

What is Backers100?

Backers100 is an AI-powered ranking service that publishes the daily influence ranking of Korean celebrities. We analyze 1,842 K-POP idols, actors, and TV personalities across six indicators (Media 30%, Positive Impact 25%, Momentum 20%, Search 15%, Fan signals 5%, Brand 5%) to produce a composite 0–100 score.

How is the influence score calculated?

It is a weighted composite of six indicators: Media (article volume × outlet credibility), Positive Impact (donations, volunteering, ESG), Momentum (14-day vs 7-day mention growth), Search interest, Fan signals (cheers, participation), and Brand (endorsements, campaign tie-ins). See the methodology page for the full formula.

How often are rankings updated?

The daily orchestrator runs at 01:50 KST and aggregation completes by 02:30 KST. A real-time trending ticker refreshes every 5 minutes from news mentions.

What is the Positive Impact score?

A weighted composite of charity, volunteering, public-good campaigns, and ESG activity, classified by AI from verified media coverage. It accounts for 25% of total influence.

What is the difference between Backers100 and Backersby?

Backers100 is the celebrity-influence ranking service operated by The Backers Inc.; Backersby is a celebrity-to-fan social impact platform operated by the same company. The two services share one account.
