A Mid-2021 Update Of The 30 Most-Watched K-Pop MVs In The First Twenty-Four Hours
Comebacks for your favorite K-Pop idol groups are always an exciting time, both for getting new music to listen to as well as being able to support the artists in order to get them on music charts and win them awards! One common thing for fans to do these days is to try to get a new music video on YouTube as many views as possible in the first twenty-four hours after release as possible. Over the last year or two, this record has been broken numerous times, and BTS even had the first MV to reach over 100 million views in one day!
