Vocal Coach Reacts: KPOP's Top 10 Most Viewed Music Videos Each Year (2009 to 2023) 

When TWICE, BLACKPINK, and BTS were still popular from 2015 to 2020 I was really happy at that time, that was my youth. I was always paying attention to them during my school days back then! ! ! I'm really happy that they are now a world-class group too! And the second-generation idols from the beginning also have very classic hit songs. Thanks for this video, it reminded me of so many things in the past!

Those BTS songs were definately not that popular in 2013, they've gotten so many views later on. DOPE is when BTS actually blew up.

I do always think it's a bit important to remember that these videos are typically going more off of what the current view count was when the person was making that compilation video. So the view counts are going to be a less accurate reflection of especially any older videos since people have gone back and rewatched them years later. (Not saying any of the groups were less good just that it's not necessarily accurate to the popularity a song/group had that year)

The song with Chanyeol and Punch is called Stay With Me

2NE1 actually disbanded in 2014.. they were under the same company as blackpink and used to make bangers the best girl group of that generation u need to check them... and most of ggs in the video especially disbanded:(

9:41 Stay with Me -Punch x Chanyeol is a classic Kdrama OST and is so good!!!

I miss BigBang. I know Taeyang made his comback with Jimin and Daesung blew everyone away with his vocals on the LeeMujin Service show but I miss the whole team together. I need more memories like their 2016 MAMA performance or their 0.To.10 tour to give me chills again.

You should really give BigBang a listen. They were the kings of the second-gen and probably have one of the best discographies. I am sure you will love Loser, Blue, Bang Bang Bang, Last Dance, Still life, If you, Haru Haru, Taeyang's "Eyes Nose Lips", GD's "Who You" and my favorite - "Untitled, 2014".

I’ve been Kpop fans since gen2 and I don’t remember BTS has that many views prior to Dope, their previous ones are not that popular to even make top 5, mainly because they were from small company, they did have to promote by themselves without company marketing support and you can see almost the other songs were from Big3. My guess is that after they blew up to worldwide scale, many fans went back to watch the old ones.

Taeyang and G-Dragon are members of BigBang, GD is their leader. Omg. 2nd Gen Kpop will be the best for me! Always and forever! BIGBANG, nothing ever compares to them. I miss them so much. I love all the Gen 2 groups. From all the companies. Man that was the best. Good old times

18:58 The Happiest Girl by BLACKPINK is one of the most beautiful ballads in K-Pop. You should check it out if you haven't listened to it yet

Stray kids debuted in 2018! They just keep getting better and better as time goes on. I love that group so much! ❤

2nd gen era was incredible ❤ BIGBANG is like no other. They're the best of the best. You have to react to their song "loser" So real and deep.

Big Bang ruled that Era. They each performance was like a concert. I have waited their MAMA performance like crazy 🤣. No sleeping due to time zone differences. And next day I will rewatch 100 times - happy memories 🖤

BlackPink ruled since debut bruh😭💅🏻✨

If you have not heard BigBang singing live you are missing out . The music variety and the skill on stage is a pleasure . All is 100% , group , subunits or solo work . And GDragon is one of the biggest influences on the industry . The first to write and produce music , the inventor of lightsticks and the one who brought the big fashion houses to kpop. BigBang were the ones who brought freedom of creation , had the first rapline , proved solo careers are possible without disband . They are the blueprint of groups today . Highly recommend you watch live performances. They can do it all . Taeyang is back , Daesung released new music and GDragon should be back by the end of this year .

Stay with me is such a good OST. EXO has done a lot of OST, Chen himself has also done a collab with Punch in a song 'Everytime" and EXO's sub unit EXO-CBX have a good one 'For you"' also check out 'Paper cuts" not an OST but a good song. They are def worth checking out. Some other personal fave OST in general are 'No way' and 'Once again'.

Why did seeing Bigbang slowly disappear from the top 10 over the years make me so emotional just now? Even though most today won't admit it, BigBang did so much for the breakthrough of K-Pop. I miss them...

Miss A disbanded in December of 2017. Lead Vocalist & Rapper Min has been on Broadway in NY for the past two years performing in the musical titled "KPOP", alongside Luna from f(x).

Ballads in 2022, before to now, EXO's Chen solo work will not deceive you, also EXO's ballads

Blackpink and BTS always in top.. 😂😂❤

I would like to request seventeen killing voice and red velvet killing voice as well! They are amazing you won't regret it!!

These were the Girl Groups of the Second Generation of KPOP, 2NE1 stop making musing in 2016 while Sistar was a 4 member group, while Sistar19 were the lead vocal and lead rapper duo. But they along with many other KPOP groups fall victim to the 7 year curse. KPOP groups can only be signed to a 7 year contract, so after the contract is over, many groups can not get enough traction to garnish a new contract. thus many elite change direction and go Solo, while others turn to comedy/talk host/entertainer. To bad not many soloist do collaborations with other soloist. Taeyang and Jimin/ Taeyang and Lisa are just two recently released 2023 After some time, some groups try to make a comeback, like Kara and Girls Generation, after disbanded, try to make a comeback, release one album 5 to 6 years later, The fandoms, while great in their heyday, move on to newer groups, these albums sparked excitement, but nothing worth lasting, and both groups faded again. The Girls Group of the Third Generation, Red Velvet, fell into a trap so to speak. They are from SM company. And when Gen 4 GG Aespa debute, they were doing ok. The concept was AI based, then the second phase kicked in, they tried to do less AI, but the fandom was confused with this groups direction. So SM tried something different but the same? copy the strategy of Super M boy group and I talked about it above, Collaboration. (SUPERGROUP) GOT the Beat (Girls On Top) are 7 girls from 4 different Girl Groups from SM. Gen1 Boa Soloist/ Gen2 Teayeon and Hyoyeon of Girls Generation / Gen3 Wendy and Seulgi of Red Velvet / Gen4 Winter and Karina of Aespa. They put out one song, 2022 and it took off, so they did a mini album 2023 and well, it did not get the same love. The last thing I want to say, is views on RU-vid do not mean South Korea fans like the group. Although like you witnessed, BTS and BlackPink ruled these charts, when it came to music awards, it was all Twice and Red Velvet during the 3rd Gen Girl Group battles. all groups had great music, and awards are subjective, most views could mean your song is great, while it could also mean your fan base is huge. but with a huge fan base, and Billions of views, and you still do not take home an award. it makes me wonder, who are the ones who vote and do they line up with the views/listeners.

I love the way he claps for BTS & EXO 😢🥺🥰💜❤️💯

5:55 taeyang is part of bigbang and bigbang are considered “top kpop groups” like pillars of kpop. So yeah all of them are considered “ogs” ofc gdragon and taeyang but also the rest of them

MONEY BY LISA and FLOWER BY JISOO CARRYING 🙌

Punch is an awesome singer with a beautiful tone Definitely recommend her songs

LOVE SCENARIO by iKon is one of my favorite songs, you should definitely check it out !!

At this point, if you wanna here more piano and vocal skills from korean songs. Please start to Listen to KDRAMA OST'S cause, for example: Stay with me by EXO Chanyeol and Punch. (9:41). Once again, its not kpop it's a KDRAMA Official Sound Track song.

I miss Kara.....especially my favorite Hara. She was so gorgeous. I am so sad that she is no longer here.... I still think about her time to time

the problem is that we don't see ballads getting billion views because every time a group, even a popular one, does a ballad, it doesn't get the same recognition. blackpink for example has a music video for "stay", a song that's a ballad, but it doesn't reach 400million, when for them is easy to reach a billion views nowadays.

You want ballad with piano, so *EXO-cbx "Paper cuts"* live Japan it's 🔥

Go to Super Junior ballad live stages such as Evanesce, Islands, Mirror, Memories, Raining spell for Love, So I, Sorry Sorry Answer (more rnb). they are majestic. If youtube views reflected talent you would see SuJu ballads on all charts.

Yes please, check on super junior! They have soooo many good songs, but I recommend u to check their ballad songs tho. U'll know how good they are as vocalist and definitely will love their harmony.

stray kids was formed in 2018 and they do have great ballad songs that you would enjoy, I will leave here just a few : - neverending story; - secret secret; - sorry I love you - waiting for us - leave - youtiful

Blackpink debuted in 2016 and from their started to break ..every song was in top 4 atleast other than solo ofJennie and rosè (everyone know the reason why including ) 🎉❤ congratulations blinks our queens slay 👑..blink forever ♾️😭

I like this reaction it just shows how K-pop has a lot of different types of songs 🥰💜💜

You should watch ‘Beautiful’ by Crush. It is a lyrical ballad song which you are gonna love for sure.

G-Dragon and Taeyang are members of BigBang

Blackpink 🖤💖

I miss bigbang sm. I got into them during covid :( couldn’t even enjoy a time when they were together

Let's remember that if bigbang hadn't had personal and agency problems, they would still be releasing music and being number one

React to Taeyangs song “Eyes,Nose,Lips”

EXO and my BangTwice 💜🩷🖤

3:59 "burn the floor" from super junior is a good song and concept💙🔥

I just wish bts was excluded from these types of videos because... it's not an accurate representation of the times. BTS was NOT popping like that back then and they were not in the top 10's for views. It's all was because of their blow up. Great group, just would rather have more accurate videos that represent what was actually popular during that time.

I just heard 2ne1's Lonely recently after BoyNextDoor did a cover of it and I love both versions. They also did DPR Ian who I didn't know but am a fan now.

BIG BANG FOR EVER 💪🏻🔥❤️

we gave up asking cuz u never replied or do anythin AHHAHA

the fact that i know every single song of this list from 2009 till 2023 is creepy

For super junior, i recommend you to watch the super junior k.r.y unit. Their songs were more on vocal as they are the vocalists of the group.

If you like ballad EXO have some ballad songs but EXO chen have three ballad albums and i like how you clap when EXO mv show up😊

If you've never heard Taeyang's "Eyes, Nose, Lips," you need to stop and listen to it _immediately._

ikon has some great stuff. JuNe has such a different voice, very cool!!!

I’m surprised group artists 2PM and WINNER did not make the list. As well as for these FANTASTIC VOCALISTS: aPink and 2AM (must check them out)❤

You should more react to SISTAR!👑THEY'RE AWESOME! ALL SECOND GENERATION GROUP PERFECT, THEY ALL HAS OWN UNIQUE STYLE!❤ THIS IS CONSIDERED "THE GOLDEN ERA OF KPOP" 👑

petition for you to listen to BIGBANG 😌

only heard BigBang and 2NE1 :)))

After 9 years KARA disbanded in January of 2016, sadly main vocalist Goo Hara passed away three years later. On September 19, 2022 KARA had a comeback for their 15th anniversary, including former members Nicole and Jiyoung.

Lisa and Jisoo that topped during their solo year 🥺🖤🩷

i love how he said shinee as "shine" instead of "shinee (shiny)"

RED VELVET KILLING VOICE!!!!

They have formed a few AI groups already lol. Also, I just want to express my gratitude to you, Justin. You're definitely an OG, and I appreciate the time you've taken to listen to these songs over the years with an open mind. You always manage to find something to appreciate. On a side note, I listened to your music on Apple Music. I already knew you were talented, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you (Lala too!) as an artist as well.❤

1:34 Yes, Shinee are the Princes of Kpop. Even with 3 member at the moment. Their next comeback is on it's way. They allways will be 5. More 2nd gene is allways welcome.

Yes please react to Super junior Old and New songs , they have done almost all music genre and they nailed it all 🔥👑 they are Legend 👑 Mamacita 2014 , Black Suit 2017 , Burn the floor 2020 , House Party 2021 , Mango 2022 P.S There live vocals are on another level Raining spell for love Live clip

11:17 You should react RED VELVET and EXO killing voice then

its interesting to see the changes of the companies, groups as well as rise in views throughout the years

This is not reflective of what was popular and most watched that year but what has the most views today and was released that year.

Def react to Stay with Me by Chanyeol and Punch❤ Such a great OST from the globally famous drama Goblin

I am a bit confused by the video and the numbers. For example Bang bang bang was the most viewed music video in 2015 a 100% sure about that, also these view numbers are def not the view numbers videos had back in the day but are more of a cumulative since then. I am a huge ARMY but BTS wasn't even in the top 10 back in 2015.

Las mejores presentaciones de BIGBANG son en vivo. Los shows que daban eran los mejores, tenian estilo, presencia escenica, hacian que el público salte como locos. Y sus habilidades vocales y el rap son mejor apreciadas cuando ves los videos de los conciertos o en los premios MAMA.

Please react to SUPER JUNIOR Kyuhyun dingo killing voice🤍 He: widest range among male idols (4 octaves ) highest supported note among Kpop male idols (c5) best mixed voice among Kpop male idols one of the best lower notes among Kpop tenors after Chen one of the best head voice among Kpop tenors along with Jonghyun, Ryeowook, Junsu and Daesung largest resonance in Kpop male idols along with Sandeul

Lol Lisa was the only one who topped alone😂😂

You must to react red velvet killing voice. They really have a good voice and good harmony when the sing unison. *sorry for my english 😂

Super junior they are real legends and paved the real way for kpop .. u should listen to there song "burn the floor" and "sorry sorry answer" u will be so shock

You should see bigbang's lives, they have songs of different styles but always with that feel that we know from them, you know? I recommend watching the live of "Tell Me Goodbye", "A fool of tears", "Tonight" and "Girlfriend". And if it's difficult to find a live you can watch the MVs that are available or videos with the lyrics in the background👍

Blackpink has been leading since debut😩

This is a best OST Chanyeol and punch stay with me Hope you listen to it

kara released a new song in 2022 but you're right that they don't release new music as much anymore. they even have a killing voice that you should check out. 2ne1 don't release music now but some of their members still release solo music like CL and minzy. sistar19 just released a new song this year called "no more (ma boy)", and one of their members, hyorin, still releases solo music. also surprised 4minute didn't make it on this list. they have a lot of hit songs from back in the day. you should also check out red velvet's newest song "chill kill". it's a bop

I am sad to watch this video, to be honest, because most of the videos here don't actually reflect which songs were the most popular in that year. And I say this following K-pop since 2013. The video compilation reflects the most viewed videos when the video was made (which I suppose was at least a few weeks ago). It would be more accurate to check the lists/rankings posted at the end of those years although it requires more work. You will find many more K-pop iconic gems that started to get buried because of the streaming era but are still considered K-pop anthems. Ps: there are already some AI groups. Most popular are Mave (fully AI) and Plave (they have real humans behind the scenes, it is similar to V-tubers)

I love Bigbang and 2ne1 💖😭(G-Dragon and Taeyang are also from Bigbang)

Justin you really really really need to listen to "Stay With Me". It's the best Kdrama Ost ever in forever. Nothing can beat it. Moreover, I think you should listen to Other songs of Punch ( "Everytime" by Punch and EXO Chen, Done for me)

Enjoyed. Be interesting to see the same thing, but based on number of views in the year of release. Give a feel of the mood of the time.

Skz debuted in 2018, but they do have a predebut album from 2017. They only started REALLY getting recognized when they released Miroh in 2019.

WE STILL WANT A RED VELVET REACTIONN

I am not surprised at all all yg group received hate in their rookie era but let them we beamon and real blinks are enough for them guysss i am super excited for like that

TAEYANG SONG ' EYES NOSE LIPS' song ❤ please React to full song please ❤❤❤

9:41 i think its the 1st ost that up to 10 most viewed mv🤗 unforgetable scene from 2nd eps ending👍

i think u must reaction red velvet killing voice, d.o in lee mujin, chanyeol and punch, chanyeol and leehi. their vocal so amazing

This guy is checking himself out so much on his camera it’s hilarious lol.

Taemin has popular songs and also ballads... check out Love, Clockwork, Blue, Snow Flower, Under my Skin (the list goes on and on)

I love how you stay clapping for EXO

You need to check red velvet dingo killing voice their voice amazing

Please RED VELVET DINGO KILLING VOICE !

Ok this brought me back, I kinda left kpop in 2019 due to some life stuff but did occasionally listen…it brought me back bruh

어잌후 무슨 말이 필요한가요 ❤❤❤ 정리 해주셔서 감사합니다!!!❤❤🎉🎉😂😂🎉❤🎉

dominate by BP & BTS let's see in 2024 Maybe BM & BP I don't know, cuz im a YG family so i only lookup to YG artist

RU-vid views are inflated by fandoms. Look at wins during these years you’ll see a whole different ranking.

Stray Kids released pre-debut music in 2017, they debuted in March 2018. They blew up in 2020 with God's Menu but since really popular groups such as BTS, Blackpink and TWICE also released music that year; they weren't in the top 10 in this video.

you want some ballads? how about Sung Si Kyung?! He is probably the King of K-Ballads. Note worthy songs are Heejae, Two People and ... well, you have seen his Killing voice, right?! How about hearing the full version of those songs.
