The music video of South Korean rapper Psy’s latest single “Hangover” is the most viewed K-pop video on YouTube this year, the video-sharing site said Tuesday.

The video, featuring American rapper Snoop Dogg, garnered 100 million views across the globe within a month of its release on YouTube in June. It drew 164 million views as of Tuesday.

The world-famous star already rewrote YouTube history with his viral hit “Gangnam Style,” released in July 2012. The video attracted more than 2.1 billion views, becoming the most watched video on YouTube.


K-pop idol band EXO made it to the top 10 with “Overdose” at No. 2 and “Miracles in December” at No. 10.

Eight-member girl group Girls’ Generation took the third spot with “Mr. Mr.,” followed by 2NE1’s “Come Back Home” and Taeyang’s “Eyes, Nose, Lips.”

The most sought-after Korean channel on YouTube was SM Town, a channel operated by the nation’s biggest agency SM Entertainment, followed by Psy and KBS World TV, the English channel of the public broadcaster KBS.
