The Korea Times

By Lee Han-na
Blackpink, the K-pop girl group managed by YG Entertainment, seem to be making history with every new song, both as women and K-pop idols.
Their recent album, “Kill This Love”, broke the YouTube record for most-viewed videos, beating Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next”. And now, Blackpink member Jennie has become the first Korean female solo singer to reach 300 million views for a video.
Last November, Jennie became the first Blackpink member to release a solo track. Solo reached 100 million views within 23 days after its release, a record for a solo female K-pop singer.


It topped several music charts within an hour of release and is still in the top 100 of several South Korean charts.
The video has now received more than 300 million views, another record for a solo female K-pop singer.
With Solo, Jennie also became the first Korean female singer to top the iTunes charts in 40 countries from South America, Europe, and Asia.

Other Blackpink music videos have also had several millions of views – 800 million for Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, 590 million for As If It’s Your Last and Boombayah, 380 million for Playing with Fire, 360 million for Whistle, and 160 million for Stay.
