The K-pop girl group BLACKPINK then again breaks their own record as the girl group that has the fastest music video to reach 700 million views!
BLACKPINK's "How You Like That" MV has finally surpassed 700 million views. It is noted to be BLACKPINK's fifth MV to exceed 700 million views in history, which is also the track MV to achieve the record for the shortest time.
According to YG Entertainment on Dec. 19, Saturday, BLACKPINK's "How You Like That" gained the view counts at 11:25 a.m. KST on the same day.
BLACKPINK "How You Like That" Beats "DDU DU DDU-DU"
In particular, the pre-release track of the girl group was only 176 days since it was released on June 26, while BLACKPINK'S previous mega-hit song, "DDU-DU DDU-DU," took 266 days or over eighth months before reaching this honor, thus the latter track loses to the former as "Girl Group MV to reach 700 million views" - which were both tracks released by BLACKPINK.
Currently, the quartet has a total of five tracks that surpassed the achievement including "How You Like That," "BOOMBAYAH," "As If It's Your Last," "DDU-DU DDU-DU," and "KILL THIS LOVE."
