Lisa Rockstar has done around 90mil in about 2 weeks. It’s not ad inflated and pretty accurately represents her dominance. Ofc she’s a global star but I’m sure BP would post numbers close ish to this if they were to comeback.
In contrast
Supernova by Aespa has around the same amount of views in about 2 months with around a quarter of that being ads. And How Sweet by New Jeans has done only half that in around 6 weeks. And Nayeon did around 35mil in a month with around 11mil of it being ads.
People often brush off YouTube views saying that it declined because people moved to Spotify or other streaming sites etc but imo kpop has seen decline in Asian markets as well post pandemic and newer groups don’t have as much relevance in these areas as was previously capable.
