Korean pop stars have taken the whole world by storm. From BTS, Blackpink, and Exo, the world seems to be lapping up all that K-Pop has to offer.

YouTube seems to be one of the best platforms that pop stars use to reach the masses. YouTube is full to the brim of K-Pop culture, music, videos, and so much more. However, it's not always clear how well the top Korean pop-stars fare on YouTube until now.

BTS

It's safe to say that BTS is Korea's biggest pop group. Known throughout the world for its music, the band has an official YouTube channel. The name BangtanTV is actually derived from the Korean name for the group (Which is Bangtan Sonyeondan).

With more than 13.7 billion views in total, the channel has 1,628 videos to date. A lot of the content consists of interviews and vlogs. These videos allow fans to dig a little deeper into the world of BTS and all that it offers.

If you don't know much about BTS, YouTube is perhaps one of the best digital platforms, to begin with. You can find out almost everything you need to know and more, on this channel.

Aespa

Aespa is a four-piece Korean pop group that may not be as well known as others. However, the group is still in its early days, so time will tell how big they become.

The group's YouTube channel is currently home to 3 million subscribers, and 100 videos is not the largest. However, it is full to the brim of music videos, behind-the-scenes vlogs, and so much more.

The fact that this newly-formed group has already won a few awards just goes to show that they are a force to be reckoned with.

Mamamoo

Mamamoo is an all-girl K-pop group that has certainly made waves. With more than 600 videos and 1.7 billion views, their 6.30 million subscribers are happy to show them some love. This is a K-pop group that quite rightfully displays the ladies' incredible dancing and singing talents.

With quite a few hits under their belts as well as a touch of controversy, Mamamoo is a band like no other. Known for their body positivity and female empowerment, this band shows just how this image works despite some of the hate it receives.

Exo

Straight from the SM Entertainment team comes a K-pop group that consists of 9 members. Every single member of the group is highlighted on their YouTube channel. This means they each get a chance to show off their talents.

Whoever the lead singer might be, Exo's management has decided that every member is important. The group's YouTube channel has 8.47 million subscribers to date. With almost 511 million views, they're doing something right.

Another reason why this group works well is that every member is encouraged to embark on some solo activities, should they wish to. The band's YouTube channel supports these endeavors and even showcases them. It just goes to show that treating everyone equally can be a very good thing.

Blackpink

Blackpink is another Korean export that has hit the headlines many times. With almost 70 million subscribers and 400 videos, Blackpink is here to stay. This girl band is here to stay, and they have a very successful YouTube channel. Their videos aren't just comprised of music videos; they also feature behind-the-scenes clips, interviews, and so much more.

Loved throughout the world, Blackpink also has a very impressive following on Instagram.

It goes without saying that many young women and teens have created a video similar to some of BlackPink's. Featuring YouTube royalty-free music, dance moves, and young voices, fans happily share their videos with BlankPink in the hope they are noticed. However, with 70 million followers, being noticed by this four-piece band could prove to be a little difficult.

Seventeen

Since its debut in 2015, Seventeen has made a lot of music fans very happy. This band has more than 7 million subscribers on their YouTube channel and almost 1,000 videos. This is an impressive feat for a band that isn't the biggest K-pop band out there.

With 13 members, it's safe to say that this group is full of energy. Hailing from South Korea, Seventeen's videos show pretty much every aspect of the band member's life, and the fans are loving it.

Seventeen's videos have more than 2.3 billion views which is pretty good for a band that isn't as well-known as many others. Still, they have a right to be on this list as their accomplishments are nothing short of impressive.

Our Final Thoughts

K-pop is here to stay, as are some of the many groups whose songs are heard all over the world. The success of their YouTube channels just goes to show how popular each of these bands is. Full to the brim of fascinating videos and creative content, fans everywhere get the opportunity to see inside the world of K-pop and all that it has to offer.
