These Are The Top 3 Most-Watched January K-Pop Releases Each Year Over The Last Decade

Januarys can sometimes be a bit of a slow start in the K-Pop industry, with some years not having any huge releases during the first month. This isn’t always the case, though, and there have been some years where huge hits came out in January! 2018 in particular was an excellent example of this.

When comparing past years in K-Pop to more present times, it’s clear to see that MVs also tend to get far more views than they did in the past as well, thanks to the music genre’s ever-growing popularity.

These are the top 3 most-watched K-Pop music videos released in January of each year in the last decade, from 2011 until now.
