These are the 100 most viewed K-Pop music videos on Youtube as of August 5th, 2018. They're basically the Most Popular K-Pop Music Videos of All Time! I've excluded dance-practices, live performances, and songs not sung in Korean. If I have missed any songs that should be on this list, I apologise in advance. Each month I will update this list, so that we can see which songs are rising in popularity, and which are falling out of the public's eye. Thanks for all of your support over the years guys. I have so much fun making these videos for you! You must remember that this video was made on June 5th 2018, so of course the views would be different! Youtube updates video views every hour, so if you find a K-Pop song should be on the chart now it's most likely because they gained a lot of views AFTER this video was made.
