Which K-Pop singers have you searched on YouTube the most last year?
Not bad for Shinee, IU, and Black Pink. Shinee and IU are the only 2nd generation acts (it's harder for IU bc only she can promote herself and obviously doesn't have group members to help) and Black Pink didn't promote last year as a group.
