BLACKPINK’s “Boombayah” Video Passes 1.9 Billion YouTube Views

BLACKPINK’s music video for “Boombayah” has passed 1.9 billion views on YouTube, YG Entertainment said. The milestone was reached as of Sunday. It marks the first time a music video for a K-pop group’s debut single has reached that view total, according to the label.

The achievement adds “Boombayah” to a group of three BLACKPINK videos with at least 1.9 billion views. The other two named by the source are “Ddu-du Ddu-du” and “Kill This Love.” The total places “Boombayah” among the group’s videos to reach the same large-scale view milestone.

“Boombayah” was released in August 2016 as one of two tracks on “Square One,” BLACKPINK’s first single album, and marked the start of the group’s career. The video’s latest view count connects that debut-era release with a major YouTube milestone. The source identifies the count and the album details but does not provide further information about how quickly the video reached the new total.
