Young groupA women’s group of five members under Media DSP and Beats Entertainment, officially debuted in October 2023 with members Sunhye, Yeonjung, Jiana, Doeun and Jieun.
On August 14, the group dropped the music video for their latest “freestyle” track. Within a few days, he went up to the stars out of over 10 million views on YouTube. Starting now, the video has about 10.7 million views, I like 66,000 and just over 4,000 comments.
The sudden wave raised skepticism. In a popular Reddit post entitled “Are the music videos of Young Posse made make up?”A user wondered if the numbers reflect a real interest of the fans.
“They are still debuting and not widely known, but their MV shot very quickly. After hitting 10m, the counter has basically blocked. The commitment seems to be out – just 4,000 comments and not many likes compared to the views”, The user wrote.
Some Netizen speculate it Young groupThe agency may have increased the video through paid ads, a common strategy on YouTube to push content into trendy sections. YouTube, like Tiktok, allows agencies to pay for the campaigns that increase views and exposure, which can explain sudden peaks of number.
Other K-Pop groups have also faced similar accusations, with fans who underlined it Cloth for children And the view of Izna sometimes does not align with the levels of involvement.
However, others defend the group, arguing that Rookie idols often benefit from promotions led by the agency in their first few days and that rapid numbers not always equal to manipulation.
The debate highlights a wider problem in K-pop: should Youtube views be considered a reliable successful measure or are they simply another marketing tool in an increasingly competitive sector?
For now, Young groupThe viral ascent continues to attract the attention-Asia admiration that I suspect-the group creates its name in the crowded fifth generation of k-pop.
