    Only BTS and BlackPink both not ranking too high in Tiktok are in both rankings.


    The Youtube ranking has two nonKPoppers (Lee JIeun and Lim Youngwoong), two ancient relics (Taeyeon and BigBang) and 4 not found in Tiktok rankings (IVE, GIdle, aespa and New Jeans).


    txt, Twice , Enhypen, Kepler, Itzy, SKZ, NCT and SVT are only found in the Tiktok rankings.


    Given that youtube contains more acts who are kind of , well, 'long staying', I think people should stop paying attention to youtube views of various acts and concentrate on tiktok views.

  • The demographics are wildly different with tiktok being dominated by teenagers/young adults, and cant really be compared to youtube which is much more evenly distributed between the age brackets and afaik is still the much bigger platform in south korea.
