On December 5, TikTok, the global short-form video platform, released its “Year on TikTok 2024″ report. Among its highlights, the “Top Artists Global” category was determined based on the view count of videos on official TikTok artist accounts.
ENHYPEN, ranked as the second global top artist, claimed the highest position among Korean artists. Following them were NCT, LE SSERAFIM, Stray Kids, aespa, TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER), and TWICE, making a total of seven K-POP groups featured on the list.
