SHINee's 'View' Named Most-Viewed K-Pop Music Video Of May 2015

Which K-Pop music video ruled YouTube in May? SHINee's "View" did, according to SM Entertainment.

The boy group's "View" music video is the most viewed K-Pop MV worldwide on YouTube for the month of May, the agency announced through their SMTown Global Twitter account.

SHINee's "View" MV was released on May 18 and as of June 15, it has more than 9 million views on YouTube.

SHINee has won nine music show trophies for their "View" song, the title track for their newest Odd album. Their latest music show win was on June 9 at SBS MTV's The Show Season 4 where they won first place.

Since May 27, the group has also racked up trophies from Mnet's M Countdown, KBS 2TV's Music Bank, SBS's Inkigayo and MBC's Show! Music Core.

SHINee fans congratulated the group for their impressive feat, but several fans expressed their frustration at SM Entertainment. Disgruntled fans claim that that SHINee was able to reach the milestone despite receiving poor promotions from their agency.

Twitter user Farahanism said that "LOL no credits for you because only Shawols promoted them real hard," referring to SHINee fandom.

Another fan RealUnkle1932 pleaded the agency to "please put some effort into promoting SHINee... They are talented, don't give you any trouble and they deserve much more than this."
