Let’s take a look at the chart of Kpop artists who have received the most YouTube views from Americans in the past 12 months.
K-pop groups are now even more popular in America than they were previously. BTS, of course, is the group that helped pave the way for this success. Furthermore, BLACKPINK was instrumental in popularizing Kpop in the world’s largest music market. Aside from these two names, which Kpop groups are Americans interested in?
Most recently, a post on a Korean online forum listed the rankings of Kpop male and female artists who received the most views from Americans in the past 1 year.
