On December 4, KST, TikTok published its “Year on TikTok” review, consisting of multiple music lists, one of them being the “Top 10 Artists Global 2024.” As the name suggests, the list reflected the most consumed artists on the platform across the globe. And interestingly, seven out of those ten names on the list belong to K-Pop this year!

Here are the seven K-Pop acts that ruled over the platform’s global user base:
