The 25 Most-Watched Foreign Music Videos By K-Pop Artists
Over the years, K-Pop artists have appealed to foreign fans by releasing versions of some of their songs in other languages — most frequently Japanese, Chinese, or English — or, on less common occasions, making original songs in a foreign language!
