K-POP 3·4·5 Generation

Five categories

Each category has its own color. Pick one from the menu and the whole site switches to that color, with groups ordered by popularity.

How popularity is ranked

Popularity is decided by numbers, not by feel. Every day we calculate how many more times each group's official music videos were played on YouTube recently, so groups rise when they make a comeback and drop during long breaks.

1. 1 Record every day

   At 5 a.m. every day we save the YouTube view count of every registered music video.

2. 2 30-day growth

   We subtract the count from 30 days ago from today's. For MVs released within those 30 days, all of their views count as growth.

3. 3 Sum per group

   We add up the growth of all of a group's MVs and rank groups within each category. Ties go to the more recently debuted group.

We started recording views on Nov 3, 2026. Until 7 days of records exist, a temporary score is used: the sum of each MV's average daily views since release. After 7 days it switches to growth automatically, and it's complete at 30 days.

What you can do here

How videos are chosen

Every video is chosen against clear rules, and the collection grows through daily automatic checks and board requests.

MV

Official music videos released under the group's name (including units, remixes, and Japanese versions), newest first. Solo, featuring, teaser, and dance videos, and anything under a minute, are left out.

Originals

Series, vlogs, and behind-the-scenes from official channels: the top 30–40 by views per group, with a cap per series. No stage or dance videos.

Fancams

Only from broadcasters' official channels (M2, SBS KPOP ZOOM, MBCkpop, KBS Kpop): the top 3 per member by views, no repeated songs, 10 minutes or less. Bands and some groups get live performances instead.

Collabs

Appearances on other channels such as Pinggyego, Salon Drip, Jjanhanhyung, Yojeong Jaehyung, and MMTG. Videos that only mention a name in the title or run under 3 minutes are left out.

No fan-filmed or fan-edited videos. Nothing is uploaded here; we only link to the originals on YouTube.

What happens every day

All times are Korea time (KST).

1. 5:00 · New videos

   We scan the last 14 days of official, agency, broadcaster, and variety channels. New MVs and fancams are added right away; original content and collab candidates are queued for human review.

2. Then · Views and ranking

   View counts for all 6,387 registered videos are fetched again from YouTube and recorded, and the popularity ranking is recalculated. Videos removed from YouTube disappear here too.

3. 0:30 · 6:30 · 12:30 · 18:30 · Board

   If there are new requests, Claude reads and reviews them and writes replies. If there are none, nothing runs.

4. Midnight · Ages

   When the date changes, every member's age is recalculated automatically. Members celebrating a birthday turn a year older that day.

Tell us about missing videos, wrong profiles, or groups you'd like to see, no login needed.

1. 1 Write

   Choose a group and type (profile fix, MV, originals, fancam/live, collab, member video, other), then add a YouTube link and a message. Choose public or private, and delete it any time with your password.

2. 2 AI review

   Every 6 hours, Claude reads each post, checks it against our rules, and writes a reply.

3. 3 Automatic checks

   Code double-checks that the video is public, not a duplicate, from an allowed channel, and, for fancams, meets the broadcaster, 10-minute, age-19, and 3-per-member rules.

4. 4 Published

   The light in the list turns from yellow (in progress) to green (done) or gray (declined), and Claude's reply appears. Approved videos are added to the site; profile fixes are checked by the operator.

Anyone can read public posts and their replies; private posts open only with the password. Content with ads, abuse, rumors, or personal information is removed during processing. Up to 5 posts per person per day; replies are in Korean.

Where the data comes from

Profiles

Based on Namuwiki and other public sources, we list only facts such as birth dates, debut dates, nationality, and height. We don't copy other sites' text.

Age

Full (international) age, recalculated daily on Korea time.

MBTI

The type each member most recently shared themselves. If we can't confirm it, we show "private" instead of guessing.

Names

English uses official romanized stage names and Japanese uses the katakana spellings found in Japanese media. Chinese uses the Chinese names widely used by Chinese fans only when they're well established, and English stage names otherwise.

Photos

Only freely licensed photos from Wikimedia Commons, with every author and license credited. Members without a photo are shown with the first letter of their name. Photo credits →
