Most-viewed K-pop music videos on YouTube: top 20 — 2026-11-02
The 20 most-viewed K-pop music videos on YouTube. Only the original music video on the artist's or label's official channel counts, ranked by the exact view count read from each video's page on October 11, 2026.

What counts
Scope: official music videos for songs led by Korean acts (including members' solo work), all time. One upload per song, counted only from the artist's or label's official channel (a distributor channel only when the label channel does not carry the video). Excluded: performance and dance videos, lyric videos, alternate cuts (choreography, extended, B-side), fan re-uploads, and songs led by non-Korean artists with a K-pop act featured.
Method
Candidates were found with kworb.net's list of the 2,500 most-viewed YouTube music videos and YouTube searches sorted by view count; those lists were used only to discover candidates. Every number — the exact view count (videoDetails.viewCount), upload time and channel — was read directly from each YouTube video page on October 11, 2026. This is an order by views, not a recommendation; nothing was added or dropped by taste (every exclusion under the rules is listed below).
Limits
- Views measure attention, not quality, and differ from streaming or sales.
- Counts keep rising. These are the values on the as-of date; the list is re-read monthly and published as a new edition.
- YouTube sometimes revises counts as it validates views. Gaps under 1% can flip at the next update.
- Older videos have had longer to accumulate views — read the upload date alongside the count.
- Where a song was uploaded to several channels, only the label-channel upload counts; this is not a per-song total across channels.
