The video for its latest single, which was released August 19, hit the milestone at 2:11 a.m. on Saturday, according to YG Entertainment.
It achieved the feat in the second shortest time among K-pop female artistes after BLACKPINK’s own ‘How You Like That’ video.

The song also ranked 22nd on the British Official Singles Chart Top 100.
The single will be included in the group’s second studio album, ‘Born Pink’, to come out on September 16. It had already secured more than 2 million pre-orders as of Thursday, only two weeks after advance purchases began. The album marks the band’s first full-group release since its first studio album titled ‘The Album’ in October 2020.
