Hong Kong pop sensation G.E.M has beaten out screen legend Jackie Chan and Ip Man 3 star Donnie Yen as Hong Kong’s most popular celebrity on social media.
The study was conducted by online artist community alivenotdead.com and social media data analysts Lamplight Analytics who announced their findings in their inaugural ranking of Hong Kong’s most social media engaged media figures.
Singer G.E.M. tops the list by a large margin, with the highest ratio of user engagement across social media. The large disparity underscores the importance of real engagement on social media as G.E.M is very active on both Facebook and Instagram platforms. The ranking takes into account online mentions and social media engagement such as comments and shares.
