The artist with the most YouTube subscribers in the world was the Korean girl group Blackpink.

As of March 22, it is confirmed that the number of subscribers on Blackpink's official YouTube channel is about 73 million.

This is the best record that can be found anywhere, including domestic as well as foreign singers, and it is surprising.

Blackpink opened a YouTube channel in June 2016.

The number of subscribers started to increase sharply after BLACKPINK released their first full-length album 'THE ALBUM' in June 2020.

Since then, the number of subscribers has been steadily increasing with the release of group songs and members' solo songs.

And in the end, it beat all the famous foreign artists who were considered to be introverts and rose to the top spot.

Earlier, his agency YG Entertainment said, "I can't believe it. It's a miraculous moment created by BLINK. I want to give glory to fans around the world who always love and support us,"

The agency went on to say, "I hope 'BLINK' will enjoy this joy as it is the result of our achievement with fans. We will continue to be produce artists who give positive energy through good music and videos."

Meanwhile, behind Blackpink, Justin Bieber (68 million people), BTS (64.8 million people), Marshmallow (54.9 million people), and Ed Sheeran (51.4 million people) are in order.

The global influence of K-pop can be fully felt from the fact that two Korean groups are in the 'World's Top 3'.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
