Forbes Korea Power Youtube Celebrity ranking and estimated earnings

BP earning good $$$ from YT 👀

ArtBeat almost matching Aespa is a big surprise to me.

Do aespa MV's get published on SMtown?

Good to see lots of groups earning decent money.

Was going to ask the same, but JYP releases most MV's on a different Youtube channel, it's JYPEntertainment

That might very well impact the earnings for the actual Twice youtube channel

IU Flopping on the Tube.

Not bad

There are several reasons why some artists seem low on the list:

I will exclude BP since they are the queen of YouTube, but Jisoo solo still counts for BP channel, so they are really not as inactive as BTS.

- Most BTS solos is posted on HYBE channel and they are on hiatus, so their solo are not counted on their channel.

- Why IVE, Les, (G)I-DLE, Les, and NJ have so many differences:

+ IVE mv views coming from Starship channel, not their official channel

+ Les has a good variety of shows and they also have good views for their audio.

+ (G)I-DLE literally their company, not CUBE, their MV are on their main channel.

+ NJ MV is on the HYBE channel, but their views mostly come from their audio, which is on their official channel.

+ Twice and ITZY views mostly come from their MV which is JYP channel.

so take this chart with a grain of salt.

yes. It is quite meaningless because different groups have differnt ways of posting MVs

But one thing is weird,how come BP's income are so low compared to NewJeans? View wise, they are still miles ahead. Is it because no new content (new contents have more ads revenue)

I’d take it with a grain of salt. It’s probably estimated earnings based on base line $/view

But that’s not the total earned when you have to account for ad views and we know for a fact that non ad views are not available anywhere to source outside of the YouTube chart.

I don't really how know they calculated the revenue either.

thats the case for almost all groups here, Hybe, SM, JYP, Starship MVs are posted on the company channel, YG and Cube are the only ones between bigger companies which get their MVs posted on their own youtube channel, which explains why Treasure is so high

Earnings depends what country the views are coming from.

Money for 1 view from one country =/= money for 1 view from another country.

This is a one of the metrics for global popularity.

Not 100% accurate like any metric, but good ballpark-wise. e.g. Lim Young Woong and IU are top in Korea but not as big outside Korea

Yeah thats true. I stand corrected

That makes Twice's omission here kind of interesting I guess. Itzy has half the followers but ranked. Stray Kids also didn't.

She has gotten too old

I wonder if the artists get a fair shake of the revenue from their MV's on official channels.

I'm presuming the income doesn't come labeled "income for x video" but rather of all videos/views in a certain period. So the groups under their label YT channels - i'd love to be a fly on the wall during the accounting procedures for that.
