How this list works. Videos are ranked by the public view count YouTube shows on each official music video, as recorded on October 10, 2026 at 22:31 UTC.[2][3] Only official music videos by Korean acts count, including Korean stars’ collaborations with foreign artists. Dance-performance, lyric, live and fan-made videos are left out, so BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That” dance-performance video (over 2 billion views), LISA’s “MONEY” performance video (about 1.24 billion) and the “Golden” lyric video from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters, credited to the film’s fictional group, don’t appear.[1][2] “DOPE” is counted on the 1theK channel, where BTS’s label posted it. “Released” is the year of the video’s Korean release. “Average views per day” is an RList figure: total views divided by the number of days from the release date to October 10, 2026. It shows how fast a video has gathered views over its whole life, so newer hits score high; it is not how many views a video got yesterday. Where sources differ by a day on a release date (“DOPE” and “Oppa Is Just My Style”), the change to the average is under 0.1%. The counts keep rising: two days later, on October 12, BIGBANG’s “BANG BANG BANG” (#26, about 855 million) was less than a million views behind #25 and gaining about 200,000 a day.[2] Where the data comes from: the ranking and its view counts are from DabPop’s list of the most-viewed K-pop music videos on YouTube (data as of October 10, 2026), which takes each count from the YouTube tracker kworb.net.[1][2] For today’s numbers, see kworb.net or each video’s own YouTube page.[4]
PSY posted the video on July 15, 2012. On December 21 that year it became the first video of any kind to pass one billion views on YouTube.[5] It stayed the most-watched video on the whole site until July 2017, when Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See You Again” overtook it.[6] Over its 14 years online it has averaged about 1.17 million views a day.[2]
BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ released “APT.” with Bruno Mars on October 18, 2024. Mars directed the video with Daniel Ramos, and the title is short for apateu, the Korean word for apartment.[8] It reached one billion views on January 31, 2025, 105 days after release. No music video by an Asian act had got there faster; “Gangnam Style” took about 158 days.[7] Its average of about 3.75 million views a day is the highest on this list, more than three times that of “Gangnam Style.”[3]
The lead single from BLACKPINK’s first mini album, Square Up, came out on June 15, 2018. On January 4, 2023 it became the first music video by a K-pop group to pass two billion views on YouTube.[9] The two videos above it are by a soloist and a duo, so it is still the most-viewed video by any K-pop group.[1]
“Kill This Love” was released on April 5, 2019, Korean time. YouTube counted 56.7 million views in its first 24 hours, a record for any music video at that point, ahead of the 55.4 million for Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next.”[10] In 2024 it became the second K-pop group video to reach two billion views, after “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” which made BLACKPINK the first K-pop act with two videos past that mark.[11]
BTS premiered “Dynamite” on YouTube on August 21, 2020. More than 3 million people watched the premiere at the same time, the biggest audience for any music video premiere, and the video drew 101.1 million views in its first 24 hours, another YouTube record at the time.[12] It is BTS’s most-viewed music video.[1]
BTS released “Boy With Luv,” featuring the American singer Halsey, on April 12, 2019, as the title track of Map of the Soul: Persona. YouTube confirmed 74.6 million views in its first 24 hours, nearly 18 million more than “Kill This Love” had set as the record just one week earlier.[13]
BLACKPINK debuted with two songs on August 8, 2016: “BOOMBAYAH” and “Whistle” (#21 here). On October 4, 2026, “BOOMBAYAH” passed 1.9 billion views, the most for any K-pop debut video. That made BLACKPINK the first K-pop act with three videos past 1.9 billion, along with “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and “Kill This Love.”[14]
PSY’s next single after “Gangnam Style” came out on April 13, 2013. The following day it drew about 38.4 million views, a YouTube record for a single day, beating the 31 million set by the “Kony 2012” documentary.[15] It passed 200 million views in its first nine days.[16]
“DNA” was the lead single from Love Yourself: Her, released on September 18, 2017. It peaked at No. 67 on the US Billboard Hot 100, BTS’s best placing until the “MIC Drop” remix later that year.[18] On June 1, 2020 it became the first music video by a K-pop boy group to pass one billion views on YouTube.[17]
DJ Steve Aoki remixed “MIC Drop” with a verse from the American rapper Desiigner, and the video came out on November 24, 2017. The remix entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 28, the first time a K-pop group had reached the chart’s top 40.[19] In July 2021 it became BTS’s fourth video to pass one billion views.[20]
