These Are The 30 Most Popular K-Pop Sub-Unit Music Videos Ever
Oftentimes, you can tell that a K-Pop group has really succeeded in the industry when a sub-unit is created with a couple members from the group! While this isn’t always the case, there are many groups in the industry with sub-groups that have done incredibly well for themselves, whether they’re made up of just a duo or three or more members. They often release music that’s different than what’s usually expected from their whole group, which can make sub-units that much more interesting to listen to.
Here’s a look at the 30 most-viewed K-Pop sub-unit music videos on YouTube! Note that NCT‘s sub-units are not included, since they promote more often as sub-units than as a whole unit.
