May 25, 2023

BLACKPINK has just achieved a historic feat on YouTube!

On May 26 at around 2:18 a.m. KST, BLACKPINK’s music video for their 2019 hit “Kill This Love” surpassed 1.8 billion views on YouTube.

“Kill This Love” is only the second K-pop group music video in history to reach the milestone—following BLACKPINK’s own “DDU-DU DDU-DU“—and only the third overall (the first being PSY‘s “Gangnam Style“).

On top of already being the only K-pop group ever to hit 1.8 billion views with a music video, BLACKPINK has also now become the first K-pop artist ever to reach the milestone with more than one music video.
