SEOUL, May 22 (Korea Bizwire) — BLACKPINK, which has one of the world’s biggest subscriber bases on YouTube, set another record Saturday by racking up 1.3 billion views with its music video “Kill This Love.”
Views for the 2019 hit broke the record at 1:40 p.m. on YouTube, becoming the all-female act’s second music video to set the milestone, according to YG Entertainment.
Its most-watched music video is “Ddu-du Ddu-du,” which has been watched more than 1.5 billion times.
