A YouTube channel run by Korean siblings has ranked No. 1 in the world for yearly views.
According to Playboard, a site that tracks YouTube channel rankings, the channel “Kimpro” (김프로) recorded about 77.5 billion views in 2025, the highest annual total globally. That’s around 16 billion more than the channel in second place, “Double Date.” The report also notes that this is more than double the estimated annual views of MrBeast, the world’s most-subscribed YouTuber.
“Kimpro” has been grown seriously since August 2022 by Kim Dong-jun, a former performance/event planner. He teamed up with his cousin and influencer Yoo Baek-hap, and later, from March 2023, Yoo Ha-young and Jung Hee-rim joined. Together they work as “OK TEAM,” posting content like mukbang (eating videos), challenges, and short skits.
The channel drew major attention this April when it reached 100 million subscribers in just 2 years and 8 months, reportedly getting there faster than BTS and BLACKPINK. It now has about 127 million subscribers, ranking 9th worldwide, and is known to have a large international audience—especially in English-speaking countries and across Asia.
An estimate from analytics site NoxInfluencer suggests the channel could earn about 470 million won per day and around 172.2 billion won per year. However, the article notes that real earnings can vary depending on factors like ad types and viewer location.
“Kimpro” thanked viewers in a post, saying they will keep improving and return in 2026 with consistently good content.
