According to YG Entertainment on the 20th, BLACKPINK's music video for "Whistle" surpassed 500 million views on YouTube, proving the unwavering love of music fans.

This is the highest record for a K-pop girl group. As Jennie's solo song "SOLO" is also close to 500 million views, BLACKPINK's own record-breaking is expected to continue.
"Whistle" is one of the double title tracks of BLACKPINK's debut single "SQUARE ONE," and the music video has drawn attention for its colorful yet sophisticated visual beauty. It also captured the eyes and ears of the public with its members' colorful visuals and unique melody lines.
Since its release, BLACKPINK's "Whistle" has achieved a perfect all-kill on major music sites' real-time, daily and weekly charts and has been on a normal march for 16 consecutive days. It was a song that gave BLACKPINK confidence to reach its current position by topping iTunes in 14 foreign countries, which was unusual for a rookie at the time.
BLACKPINK stands out in the global music market for every song it releases since its debut and is building up a monumental K-pop record.
In addition to "Whistle," the music video for BLACKPINK's debut double title track "BOOMBAYA" is also set to surpass 900 million views thanks to fans' interest. About four years after the release, the number of views has been steadily increasing.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK recently achieved the highest performance of K-pop girl groups with its collaboration song "Sour Candy" with Lady Gaga, raising expectations for a comeback. The song has been on the charts for two consecutive weeks since it first entered the U.S. Billboard's main chart "Hot 100" at 33rd place, and has been ranked for three weeks after setting a record of 17th in the British official chart single top 100. It also topped the global YouTube Songs Top 100 chart.
BLACKPINK's current YouTube channel has 36.8 million subscribers, the largest single channel in the country. This shows BLACKPINK's global influence and most practical popularity figures.
