Korean YouTuber KIMPRO ranked first among all YouTube channels worldwide for annual view counts last year.
According to data released by the YouTube analytics site PLAYBOARD, the channel recorded a staggering 77.53 billion views last year. The figure far exceeded the approximately 61.5 billion views of the second-place channel, "Double Date." It is also more than double the annual views of MrBeast (approximately 38.1 billion), the YouTuber with the most subscribers globally.
"KIMPRO ranked #1 worldwide in annual YouTube views," the creator shared in a post on the channel's community page on Monday. We owe this entirely to you. In 2026, we’ll keep improving and continue to deliver consistently good content.
Thank you for being with us."
KIMPRO was launched in August 2022 by Kim Dong-jun, an event planner, who grew the channel alongside his cousin and influencer, kkubi99. They primarily post content covering diverse themes such as mukbang, challenges and sitcom skits.
KIMPRO made headlines last April by becoming the first domestic channel to surpass 100 million subscribers. The channel now boasts approximately 127 million subscribers, ranking ninth globally. The channel has a higher proportion of international subscribers than domestic ones.
According to estimates by the online marketing analysis site NoxInfluencer, KIMPRO’s daily revenue is approximately 470 million won ($324,205), adding up to 172.2 billion won ($118 million) annually. However, actual earnings can vary depending on factors such as ad formats and viewer locations.
