kpop technically is Korean pop but some
of the most popular artists aren't all
born in or from Korea today we're taking
a look at some of the most famous k-pop
idols not from Korea and determining who
is the most famous right now so comment
down below before watching who you think
is the most well-known and let's see if
you're right at the end of the video but
before we get started 86% of my viewers
you guys are not subscribed yet you
already enjoy my content so why not
subscribe and hit the bell to join the
wave and not miss a new video how
measuring each idols popularity is their
group's latest brand rankings followers
on social media YouTube use monthly
listeners on Spotify and popularity in
their home countries based on Google
searches let's start on the island to
the east of Korea many famous and
talented idols in kpop came from Japan
but who is the most popular to come from
the Land of the Rising Sun today I
narrowed it down to the top four that
represent Japan and three out of the
four come from the same group yes I'm
talking about twice as Japanese Trinity
of momo sana and Minah so let's take a
look at the numbers YouTube views they
have 4.4 billion views across 26 music
videos averaging 170 million views per
music video released the brain ranking
as a group is 8 now well that seems a
little bit low brain ranking is based on
group's activity at the moment if they
had a comeback he would trend a little
bit higher than usual oh and also brand
ranking is based on like advertisement
how well the group is doing in Korea the
media articles and a lot of other stuff
put together but I did mention that
there was four choices I made for Japan
the fourth choice was Takata from eyes
one eyes one day Buena Korea with a bang
coming from produced 48 and probably the
last produced series but the girls
definitely dominated in sales and the
numbers with a group brand ranking of 10
that is some pretty solid stuff but
you're going up against twice with eyes
one relatively new and twice already
being at the top for so long
the choice is kind of obvious but let's
see who Japan is searching for the most
sana actually is the most searched with
Takata being second
so just slightly sana will be
representing all of Japan
let's head a bit south to Taiwan Taiwan
is fresh ground for k-pop idols so
that's why I only have two representing
the country right now
Chua from ji idol and Chui from twice we
already know twice as numbers so let's
check out chi idols on Spotify
they have 3.4 million monthly listeners
that is their most standout number but
in brain ranking as a group they're in
the top ten at seven GI to is very
respectable when it comes to the numbers
and of course having the comeback with
oh my god
they're up there right now on brand
rankings but again you're competing
against twice it's almost no competition
but just to make sure let's see who
Taiwan is searching for the most and as
we see it's chewy I don't hold anything
against XI idol they rose very fast for
being such a new girl group and I can
see them competing with twice they are
definitely a group to look out for
now that means Chui will be representing
Taiwan now let's head north of Korea no
not-not-not they're a little bit more
okay in China Chinese idols were the
first introduction of foreign idols into
kpop in the second generation so that
means there is staple of kpop now here
are the top four most popular k-pop
idols right now
from China the eight in tune from
seventeen Lucas from wavy and super em
and Jackson weighing from got7 let's
knock out two birds with one stone here
the eight in tune from seventeen
seventeen really planted their feet in
Korea and their popularity is undeniable
with continuous activity and comebacks
seventeen is tough competition but let's
check out Lucas Lucas comes from two
groups wavy and super em so we're taking
in their numbers as well and on YouTube
wavy has 63 million views in six music
videos every day ten million views per
music video and super em only has the
one music video
you know Chopin in that music video
alone has 65 million views and last but
not least Jackson Wang we know Jackson
already established his solo career in
China and even here in America along
with being a part of the popular got7 so
let's check out the numbers Jackson has
his own Instagram of 17 million
followers but the number that stands out
the most is YouTube views
7 has 1.6 billion views in 22 music
videos averaging 75 million views per
official music video on Spotify got7 has
1.7 monthly listeners in Texan has 2.4
million but surprisingly has the group's
brand ranking they are 49 which I don't
even understand why they're ranked that
low but I would go to Google to see who
China is searching for the most but
China has their own closed internet and
they have their own search engine so we
don't have any numbers for that but we
do see Jackson trending higher than
anyone else but everyone else has 0 to
decide who's representing China I think
it comes down to this who's been around
the longest and who has the most solo
activities and more promotion that leads
us Jackson and Lucas and by the numbers
Jackson and got7 surpass everyone
meeting Jackson will be representing
China now let's head closer to the
equator in Thailand Thailand is also new
when it comes to k-pop idols from the
country but there was some amazing
talent found in that country and I
narrowed it down to the top three with
bambam from got7 10 from wavy and super
M & Lisa from black pink so here we
already know tens numbers from wavy and
super M and we also know got sevens
numbers but bambam also has his own
personal miss Graham with 11 million
followers and is on Twitter with 5.8
million followers the new statistic here
is black pink and Lisa so Lisa's own
Instagram has 32 million followers alone
in black pink has 20 2.8 million
followers on Twitter black pink has 3.6
million followers and on YouTube if you
think got sevens number was crazy black
pink has a total of 4.7 billion views in
only 7 music videos averaging 673
million views per video and that's not
it Lisa created her own YouTube channel
where she sometimes post dance videos
and the post dance videos are pretty
popular and people go crazy for them
from her 3 dance videos alone she has a
total of 47 million views of her jazz
dancing which of course is her Forte and
a group brain ranking of third thing
there's nothing left to argue but let's
check out Google the statistics black
pink put up is unbeatable so
Lisa will be representing Thailand now
we spent some time here on the eastern
hemisphere let's head over to the west
to the good old US of A here are the top
four most popular kpop I was born in the
US right now hunting Kai from tomorrow
by together
Jonny from NCT 1 to 7 Vernon from 17 and
Mark from got7 let's remind ourselves
with 17s numbers that represent Vernon
and got sevens numbers while Mark also
has his own Instagram with eight point
six million followers his on Twitter
with five point four million followers
the new numbers here is tomorrow by
together and NCT one to seven SCT one to
seven has seven point four million
followers on Instagram and 2.9 million
followers on Twitter NCT has a huge
presence when it comes to social media
while Spotify SCT 127 has 2.6 million
monthly listeners that is really really
good numbers and a group brain ranking
of 14 but tomorrow by together can't be
found on the latest brand rankings which
is a little bit odd to me being the
second generation of big HIT
Entertainment and only having barely a
year under their belt TT has the biggest
potential and time to grow looking at
the names I put up for USA this is some
tough competition so let's check out who
is search the most again the totals of
all the numbers I put in place got7 is a
powerhouse which means mark will be
representing the US now let's hop the
border to Canada
you would think Wendy from red velvet
but she wasn't born in Canada she was
raised in Canada so the two names that I
have represent in Canada on kpop is mark
from NCT 1 to 7 and super n and so me so
let's take a look back at set1 two
sevens numbers and super M's numbers and
the new statistics is so nice so Sami
was the first big name to come out of
the produced series and from Iowa her
popularity was insane
somi debuted in 2019 finally but solo on
youtube with only one music video she
has 72 million views that's job in
numbers so me alone competes with some
of these whole groups on this list but
that will kind of lead to her downfall
when you check out who searched the most
in Canada is
mark if I almost double the volume and
that kind of makes sense mark comes from
NCT one two seven a full group that has
continuous promotions so me only has the
debut with the comeback plan soon but
not as frequent as NCT so that means
mark will be representing Canada all
right now let's take that 24-hour Plus
flight all the way to Australia we just
saw the introduction of some Australian
and k-pop idols here in the fourth
generation of kpop with straight kids
that's why we only have the names Felix
and bang Chan from Australia straight
kids has 6.2 million followers on
Instagram and 2.1 million followers on
Twitter another group that has strong
social media presence and there another
group that didn't make the brand ranking
list so now we're in the same problem we
have two idols from the same group how
do we determine who's representing the
whole country of Australia well let's
check out our good old friend Google and
Google tells us that they don't know who
Felix is as you can see I put in Felix
Lee and nothing showed up so then I put
in Lee Felix and that showed up but then
that gave Ben Chang zero so then I
double-checked and changed it to the
United States and Felix again trends
higher but I don't know why bangtan has
has zero Australians you have Felix
representing your whole country now and
last but not least the island off the
coast of Australia New Zealand now you
would think I would put Jenny here but
she was born in South Korea and then
lived in Auckland New Zealand for five
years but the other I do I do have
representing New Zealand is another
black pink member in rose a rose a was
born in Auckland and then moved to
Australia then moved to Korea in 2012 to
join yg and debut of black pink so let's
check out black Pink's monster numbers
again and add rows eights Instagram at
23 million followers rows a kind of has
a buy into the final so how I finally
determined who is the most popular k-pop
idol not born in Korea was again who
searched the most on Google and that
gave us an overwhelming answer lisa is
undeniably evil
popular k-pop idol not from Korea and
she can even compete with the popularity
of Korean born k-pop idols our top 3 is
chewy from Taiwan and twice rose' from
New Zealand and black pink and Lisa and
number one from Thailand and black pink
okay so this probably didn't come as a
surprise to some people some of you
already commented that Lisa is the most
popular I also asked this videos
question on my Twitter shameless plug
follow me on Twitter if you're not
already at internets Nathan and majority
of you got it right by saying Lisa and
now we know statistically that's true
but we also prove that black Pink's
popularity is insane to have two foreign
idols represent as the most popular in
kpop from the same group and to the fact
that black bean doesn't get as many
promotions as other groups I mentioned
that speaks volumes of how black pink
artists always talked about no matter
what
so yeah yg if you're listening I did the
numbers for you I did the math come on I
hate math but I did it for kpop and for
science why'd you just get black pink a
comeback you have the biggest stars in
kpop right now in your hands and you're
not doing anything with them okay that
