BLACKPINK can be proud: their 2018 title

DDU-DU DDU-DU

has just exceeded 2 billion views on YouTube.

A first for a K-pop group… but not for a Korean artist.



Indeed, if the BTS did not manage to pass this fateful threshold with one of their titles, the essential

Gangnam Style

by Psy has long since doubled this score!

Yes, the clip of the 2012 title, which went viral, was the first video to pass the billion views on the platform.

To date, it has 4.6 billion views.

South Korea at the top of virality

But it is still very far from the immeasurable success of another South Korean production which has won over children around the world as well as their parents.

We are of course talking about

Baby Shark Dance

, this awakening video which, to date, is by far the most viewed clip on YouTube with 12 billion readings on the counter.

We can only wish BLACKPINK to get there one day!
