In a time when top Hallyu groups are trying to break into the global music scene, YG artists, including BIGBANG and 2NE1, have proven successful by being showered with honors worldwide for their successful comebacks and astounding YouTube views.
In a short one to two month’s time, BIGBANG’s fith mini album, Alive, has topped countless charts and gained a good deal of online views. To date, Blue has an amazing 19 million views on YouTube, while Bad Boy has about 12 million and Fantastic Baby has received 18 million views. Their honors for just this month include #2 Most Subscribed (This Month) – South Korea, #1 Most Subscribed (This Month) Musicians – South Korea, #5 – Most Viewed (Today/April 25) – Musicians, etc.
Statistics show that most views come from countries such as France, Sweden, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mexico, revealing the global reach of their music and influence. According to U.S. markets, YG bands are classified under the Hip-Hop genre, which differs from the majority of South Korean bands.
Congratulations to YG’s achievements and may they continue to spread the Hallyu Wave!
