Even if K-Pop has been well-loved in the Philippines since the 2000s, there's no doubt that an overwhelming number of new fans came to love the genre in 2020. We all probably know at least a few people in our inner circle who fell down deep into the K-Pop rabbit hole this year, right? Naturally, this newfound appreciation for South Korean music reflected in our streaming habits nationwide. No surprise here, but BTS and BLACKPINK are the two of the most-streamed K-Pop groups on Spotify worldwide. And to top it off, both groups have four songs each (a mix of originals and collaborations) on Spotify Philippines' list of Top 10 Most-Streamed K-Pop Songs in the country! Below, we round up every song on list. Which one did you listen to the most in 2020?

These are the most streamed K-Pop songs in the Philippines in 2020:
