G-Dragon is proving to be the king of YouTube variety content view counts.

On an online forum, netizens are discussing the remarkably high number of views for YouTube variety shows featuring G-Dragon as a guest. Programs such as 'Zip Daesung,' Lee Yong Jin's 'Yongtarot,' Jo Se Ho's 'JoNam Zone,' IU's 'Palette,' and others have all seen massive spikes in viewership following his appearance.

As of May 4 KST, the following view counts have been recorded for G-Dragon’s guest episodes:

Zip Daesung Part 1: 15.04 million
Zip Daesung Part 2: 8.74 million

Yongtarot Part 1: 2.28 million
Yongtarot Part 2: 1.34 million

JoNam Zone: 1.39 million

IU's Palette: 2.94 million

UV Room: 2.07 million

Altogether, G-Dragon has amassed a total of 33.8 million views across seven appearances, with an average of 4.83 million views per episode—further demonstrating his unparalleled popularity.

Netizens have expressed their amazement at G-Dragon’s cultural influence, not only in music but across the variety show landscape and even in commercial products. His highball drink from PEACEMINUSONE, for example, sold out within just "1 second" of its release—marking the fastest sellout ever recorded by CU, the convenience store carrying the product.

Some also pointed out how G-Dragon seems to truly embody the lyrics from his own song "Home Sweet Home (feat. Taeyang and Daesung)," quoting his line from the song: "Man in the 'Views' aimin' at you?!"

In addition, his performance at 'MAMA 2024' has already surpassed 60 million views, adding yet another milestone to his name alone.

Reactions include:

"The GD buzz is insane."


"He also all-killed the Circle chart."


"Truly the man in the 'views'."


"Didn’t the MAMA views blow up too? That’s insane."


"GD’s Highball is insanely good. It was originally limited to 880,000 cans, but 600,000 sold in just two days, so they added more production. I’ve been drinking it every day lately."


"Since December last year, he kept hitting No. 1 on Melon. Except for about two weeks, GD was No. 1 for almost five months. He also had a perfect all-kill on every chart for over 20 days. That’s incredible."


"Even after years, GD is still GD. Wow, amazing."


"Pretty sure at least 1 million of those MAMA views are mine... I watched it like crazy."


"He's Pied Piper..."


"Honestly, what amazes me isn’t even his producing, music, or dancing. It’s the fact that after all the ridiculous hate, the suicide petition, the leaked body drawing from the army, two members making headlines for scandals that flooded the 9 o’clock news, his agency getting dragged into it, the rumors about drugs at a bar with women, and being unable to promote for seven years—

after all that, he still came back and created this much buzz. That’s unreal. Even for the most popular celebrity, seven years is a long time."


"Everything he does ends up No. 1, highest sales, trending, or exploding in views."


"Oh, I watched 'Zipdaesung,' 'MAMA,' and 'UV Room' too. I remember thinking, 'He really appeared on UV Room?' lol."


"GD even lined up trending videos one after another. He was the first to line up full album tracks on the real-time charts. Every time he drops something, it dominates. Crazy."


"Everything haters said would flop ended up doing well, lol. At this point, being a GD anti = a hit detector."


"When it comes to buzz, he’s honestly unmatched, lol."


"The hype is unreal."


"Crazy. To be fair, I’ve watched quite a few of those too, lol."


"As of today, he’s also No. 1 in views on French TV."


"This is probably why haters go nuts... no matter how much they hate, he keeps winning."
