TikTok’s Global KPop act this year is ENHYPEN
TikTok dropped its 2025 Year in Music recap on December 9, 2025, and the platform was basically a reveal for who ruled everyone’s For You Page this year. KATSEYE grabbed the Global Artist of the Year crown, while a throwback moment took over the app since Connie Francis’s 1962 hit Pretty Little Baby became the most used song both worldwide and in the United States. Meanwhile. ENHYPEN became the face of KPop on the list, landing at No. 3 on TikTok’s Top 10 Artists Globally. Stray Kids followed close behind at No. 5, proving they’ve had an unstoppable 2025.
