Here are the top 10 weekly idols on the K-pop channel NEW K.ID for the fourth week of April.
WJSN ranked first on NEW K.ID’s Weekly Idol Chart, with BLACKPINK and ATEEZ following the top 3. The rest of the idols in the top 10 are WINNER, GFRIEND, GOT7, BAE173, Lee Jinhyuk, ITZY, and DAY6, respectively.
Securing the #1 spot from last week is WJSN! The girls wrap their promotional activities for their UNNATURAL album, which was a huge success. They released their mini-album last month, returning with a more serious and mature concept. The group thanked their fandom, “UJUNG” for all the support and acceptance of their newly minted mature image.
At #2 is the global sensation BLACKPINK. As they gain more success globally, BLACKPINK continues to break more records. Their “Lovesick Girls” hit 400 million views on YouTube, making this the 11th time hitting the mark. The “Lovesick Girls” music video reached 100 million views in the first 75 hours, ranking No. 1 on YouTube at the time.
ATEEZ takes the #3 spot, moving down one spot from the previous week. The band’s agency KQ Entertainment announced last week that ATEEZ’s official YouTube channel had reached 2 million subscribers. ATEEZ surpassed the 1 million mark about a year ago, hit 2 million followers on Twitter back in February, and got 4 million followers on Instagram in March.
