BTS’ ‘Boy With Luv’, a collaborative track with Halsey, was the previous record holder of those categories. The current hit count for this video is over 51 million.
BLACKPINK previously held the most-viewed YouTube video in 24 hours title in 2019 with ‘Kill This Love’. Other past holders include Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank U, Next’ (55.4 million views) and Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ (43.2 million views).
Last year BLACKPINK became the first K-pop band to score a billion YouTube views on a single song. They hit the milestone with their music video for ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’, which landed on the platform last June.
