8 most viewed K-pop music videos in 24 hours as of September 2022

Ever since BTS’s IDOL dethroned Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do music video as the most viewed music video on YouTube in its first 24 hours, the record of the most viewed K-pop music video in the first 24 hours has become a big achievement.

Previously, there was no such record or interest in measuring the number of views a K-pop music video would receive in the first 24 hours. However, now it is one of the most anticipated records that fans try to achieve for their favorite K-pop group.

BTS are the reigning champions who hold the record for the top two most viewed music videos on YouTube, with both Dynamite and Butter garnering over 100 million views in a single day.

Let’s take a look at the music videos that hold the record for having the highest number of views in the first 24 hours in 2022.
