How is Gangnam Style the 3rd most viewed K-pop MV in 2021?

Because PSY is the one true king of K-Pop, that's why.

unfortunately a lot of it is from weird westerners who made facebook pages about “getting the chinese song to 2B” after it hit 1B

you can still find them on FB. they’re full of people. basically started the streaming era

It's sort of its own thing. It's bigger than Kpop. The majority of views are from people who don't listen to or are even aware of Kpop.

It's crazy to think about all the ad revenue YG generated from this at the time, and from BIGBANG and now BLACKPINK. And iKON even having an MV with 500 million views.

gangnam style is bigger than kpop tbh.

just wait till i release oppa selfmate style...

Gangnam style was a hot mess, but I know people that still actively listen to it and not as a punishment
