How the score is computed
Multi-dimensional influence scoring: Domestic Buzz (30%) + Global Reach (30%) + Chart Power (10%) + Engagement Quality (15%) + Cross-Source Consensus (15%). Each source weighted by authority, engagement quality, and audience uniqueness. All values log-normalized to 0-100.

- Domestic Buzz (43%) — Korean community discourse volume (TheQoo, NatePann)
- Consensus (22%) — Cross-source validation: more independent sources = more credible
- Engagement (21%) — Comment-to-view ratio, discussion depth across sources
- Chart Power (14%) — Streaming chart presence (Melon, Bugs). Low weight: manipulation risk
