Blackpink’s "Boombayah” music video exceeded 1.9 billion views on YouTube as of Sunday, according to label YG Entertainment.
It is the first time the music video for a debut single from a K-pop group has achieved the feat.
The group now has three music videos to amass as many views, including “Ddu-du Ddu-du” and “Kill This Love.”
“Boombayah” marked the beginning of the group’s career, released as one of the two tracks of its first single album, “Square One,” in August 2016.
Since then, the quartet has released two studio albums: its 1st LP, “The Album,” hit the Billboard 200 at No. 2, and its second, “Born Pink,” topped the Billboard 200 as well as the UK Official Albums Top 100, both a first for a K-pop girl group.
Separately, Rose, Lisa and Jisoo each dropped a solo single in September, while Jennie released the solo digital EP “Fallen Angel” the month before.
