BLACKPINK Rosé is yet to make her official solo debut but the "coming soon" teaser video for her upcoming release already gained an overwhelming count of YouTube views, proving the female idol's global popularity.
On Jan. 26, YG Entertainment surprisingly shared a 33-second teaser video via BLACKPINK's official YouTube account. Titled "ROSE - COMING SOON TEASER," the clip is obviously meant for BLACKPINK Rosé 's long-awaited solo debut. Although, the song featured in the clip is not the title track for her solo album but a B-side single, according to her management agency.
BLACKPINK Rosé 's "Coming Soon" Teaser Video Surpasses 40 Million Views
In the teaser video, scenes like BLACKPINK Rosé lying on the floor, a burning rose, the singer angrily throwing the rose and eating alone, and more can be seen. Plus, the lines, "All my love is gone, all my love is gone, now you're dead and gone" can be heard toward the end of the clip. With these, viewers were quick to learn that the B-side track is about heartbreak.
The song in the "coming soon" teaser video, which was later revealed to be titled "Gone," is said to be about a person whose love for her significant other is beginning to fade away. It was, in fact, performed for the first time at BLACKPINK's first online concert "THE SHOW" on Jan. 31 ahead of its official release. And as expected, many fans fell in love with the song, even CIX Bae Jinyoung couldn't stop listening to it.
And speaking of the official launch, BLACKPINK Rosé is yet to issue her solo album containing "Gone," but the "coming soon" teaser video for her solo debut already garnered incredible YouTube views just three weeks after it was dropped. As of Feb. 17, the clip has reached 40.7 million views, according to YG Entertainment.

What makes this achievement more impressive is that the clip is not even the official music video for BLACKPINK Rosé's solo track, which makes this very unusual. With a total of 57.3 million subscribers on the YG girl group's YouTube channel, the views of the clip are only 16.6 million views away to hit its total subscribers. This shows the large number of fans who are awaiting BLACKPINK Rosé's solo debut, and also proves the "Lovesick Girls" singer's global popularity.
