The platform that almost the entire internet has seen videos on (if you don't have TikTok, that is). YouTube is the main platform on which all kpop companies including HYBE/BE:LIFT post their music videos on. On the artists' channel, you can find audio versions of their entire discography.

Because of something we all all hold dear and cherish- ENHYPEN music show wins! Korean music shows convert Youtube MV streams into digital points which decide if ENHA gets nominated or not- which is why it is important to stream the Music Video during the tracking week as well!

YouTube views also count for Billboard and other charts, but more if you use the premium version!

Nontheless, streaming on a free account is good enough if enough ENGENE participate! Strength comes in numbers, since we all are mortal- unlike 7 certain vampire boys ;)

Get your friends to check out ENHYPENs next release as well!

It's simple! Let's not get the steps mixed up though, since things have changed since a few years ago.

1. Log in with your Google account

2. Manually search for the music video (change the keywords for every search. An example: "enhypen mv bite me" and "bite me by enhypen" for the next search) and watch it completely! (very important: watch it at least with the volume on 50%, in a quality of 480p or higher and don't pause while watching)

3. Watch 2-3 fillers that are not on the same account as the music video (they can be unrelated to kpop or enhypen, but using members covers would be great! And if you're short on time like in the first week of release,1 minute ASMR videos or short videos that show the animal representative of our resident leader do the trick! Or ducks. Choose for yourself of course!

4. Last but not least: Repeat steps 1-3!

A stream is counted when a logged-in user has watched a video in in its entirety once.

It is important that you do not stop during watching the video, or loop it. It could be that the view is not counted then, since YouTube's system is more sensitive during the first 24 hours of a release.

Ever since the new rules regarding views on YouTube, the filtering system has gotten more strict. The best time to try and get as much views for a MV as possible is during the first 24 hours of release. Share the video with your friends and comment on it (no emojis only, since those count as spam/bot behaviour. 

The number one rule for YouTube streaming is active engagement. Commenting on the MV and liking as well as sharing the MV in reasonable intervals is the best way to get a release charting in multiple countries and on the recommended page. YouTube streaming is quite time intensive, so if you want to make things interesting, reply to other ENGENE's comments and type out something in any language you know! (YouTube comment sections are a great way to make friends as well ;) ).

Another thing that is less positive, but nontheless important as well: Sometimes, especially with big releases, you will see people purposefully spamming comments to mess up the algorithm. If you find a person doing that recently (sort by: newest comments), don't hesitate to report them as spam if they're not a fan. If an ENGENE is using emojis, be so kind and correct them politely. Thanks!

YouTube Music is basically the audio version of YouTube. You can create playlists and play them just like on Spotify, but to do that offline or keep playing while having the app closed, you will need to get YouTube Music Premium.

To be honest, it is a bit more pricey since its in a package deal with YouTube, but think about what platform you use the most and decide which one to subscribe to based on that. YouTube/YouTube Music Premium is overall cheaper if you have a family deal- some ENGENE give away accounts before a comeback, so keep an eye out! (note: You can only join a family deal if you live in the same country as the person paying.) 

Of course, if you can afford multiple subscriptions, please do so! Since Premium views/streams on YouTube a weighted a  lot more, this would be very helpful.
