BLACKPINK has once again etched its name in YouTube’s annals, setting a groundbreaking record on December 4 at approximately 6:10 a.m. KST. The music video for their 2019 megahit ‘Kill This Love’ soared past an astonishing 1.9 billion views, solidifying BLACKPINK’s unparalleled status in the realm of online music streaming.
‘Kill This Love’ now stands as the second K-pop group music video to cross the 1.9 billion threshold, a milestone previously achieved only by BLACKPINK’s own ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’. Notably, this marks the third K-pop music video overall to reach such a remarkable figure, with the first being PSY’s iconic ‘Gangnam Style’.
What makes this achievement even more exceptional is that BLACKPINK is not only the sole K-pop group to amass over 1.9 billion views with a single music video, but they have now become the first K-pop artist to accomplish this feat with more than one video. This accomplishment underscores the global phenomenon and enduring popularity of BLACKPINK in the music industry.
Originally released on April 5, 2019, at midnight KST, ‘Kill This Love’ took just over 4 years, 7 months, and 29 days to reach the 1.8 billion mark, exemplifying the sustained and widespread appeal of the music video.
In the wake of this historic milestone, congratulations are in order for BLACKPINK, as they continue to redefine the boundaries of success and make an indelible mark on the global music scene.
