BLACKPINK's "DDU-DU DDU-DU" becomes first K-pop group music video to pass two billion views
BLACKPINK have broken a YouTube record with their "DDU-DU DDU-DU" video, which is the first visual by a K-pop group to get two billion views.
"DDU-DU DDU-DU" appeared on BLACKPINK's 2018 EP SQUARE UP, and earlier today (4 January) the group celebrated another milestone with the song, after it reached two billion views on YouTube.
This makes BLACKPINK the first K-pop group to have a music video reach that amount of views. The only other K-pop act that has achieved the same milestone is PSY's huge hit "Gangnam Style".
‘ (DDU-DU DDU-DU)’ by @BLACKPINK has reached 2 BILLION views on YouTube.
