TOP 50 most-searched male KPOP idols on Youtube Korea in 2021: BTS leads the chart, Knets are surprised to see Big Bang and EXO in the list
What are the idols that led the Youtube search in Korea this year?
Many KPOP idols have entered global markets and gained huge achievements. Despite that, it would be better if KPOP idols could still be able to attract the attention of Korean netizens. However, not all Korean are interested in idols, and their standards for idols are a lot different than that of foreign fans. Therefore, KPOP idols who have high reputations in Korea are considered genuinely famous.
In fact, there are numerous methods to evaluate idols’ popularity, but analyses of Google searches (mostly images and information) and Youtube (videos) are believed to give the most objective and precise results. Recently, a Korean netizen posted the TOP 50 most-searched male KPOP idols on Youtube Korea from the beginning of 2021 until now.
