YouTube's 10 Most-Watched Kpop MVs of 2011 (domestic)

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

The K-pop craze that’s taking the world by storm was also manifest on the largest video portal site in the world, Youtube.

On December 21st, Youtube reported the top 10 most-watched music videos by domestic citizens in Korea (not including overseas views) since January 1st, 2011.

According to the report, the #1 most-watched K-pop music video in Korea for 2011 was Wonder Girls‘ and their hit track, “Be My Baby“.

HyunA‘s solo single “Bubble Pop” came in at #2, while SNSD‘s “The Boys” came in at #3, holding a record for immediately receiving 400,000 views upon release.

At #4 was “STEP” from KARA‘s third full-length album which is earning much love and support in Japan, and at #5 and #6 were 2NE1‘s “Lonely” and “I Am the Best“, respectively.

T-ara‘s “Roly Poly” came in at #7, followed by f(x)‘s “Pinocchio” at #8, SISTAR‘s “So Cool” came in at #9, and miss A‘s “Good-bye Baby” rounded out the top 10.

Yeum Donghoon from Google Korea remarked, “K-pop has an ever-growing impact on the world, so much that Youtube has launched an official ‘K-pop’ category on the site. I think the driving force behind K-pop spreading so quickly and intensely all over the world is the never-ending love and support the national fans show their favorite artists.”

[uledy.livejournal.com]

wait, if this is a calculation of only Korean domestic statistics, then how does this exhibit K-pop's impact on the world?

[charisma2.livejournal.com]

Thank You

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

The girls looking beautiful in the MV was probably the only good thing about The Boys.

re: Suju - they apparently topped the chart for international+domestic views of Kpop.

"I think the driving force behind K-pop spreading so quickly and intensely all over the world is the never-ending love and support the national fans show their favorite artists.”

This conclusion boggles the mind. Why in the world would that be the driving force?

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

LJ apparently decided to jump on the band-wagon of 'let's change things that didn't need fixing!' :P

Oppars don't need domestic fans. They got all the foreign girlsfans.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

How did they count T-ara's though? They don't have an official Youtube channel, right?

ikr when am i

[jetaime-pyon.livejournal.com]

no i just think these statistics represent gross dewds that stay home and just watch vids like this all day. the real statistics are at music shows imo! (and at those the audience is majority female, promise)
