BLACKPINK’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU” Becomes Fastest K-Pop Group MV To Reach 200 Million Views

On July 19 at approximately 4:52 p.m. KST, the music video for “DDU-DU DDU-DU” surpassed 200 million views on YouTube. This is about 33 days and 23 hours since its release on June 15 at 6 p.m. KST.

This breaks the previous K-pop group record set by BTS’s “Fake Love,” which achieved the feat in about 44 days.

I saw Du-du-du on FBE's React and thought it was quite interesting.
I kinda like it

The "Blackpool!" chants are really catchy, and the beat is fire.

[abi]

^It's actually "Blackpink". But you better stan

Their songs are catchy indeed but they need to step it up when it comes to live performances. Rose & Lisa are the ones who still give their 100%. Jisoo is struggling with her high heels and Jennie is becoming so lay-z these days. Is she too busy posting 5 pictures a day on Instagram that she misses some of the rehearsals? She was on fire during their debut though so I wonder what happened.

"Duu Du DDdu DuuDUu" is massive over here in SE Asia! It's becoming one of those crossover K-Pop songs! And it's growing on me, I really like it now, minus the cheap final breakdown.

True! It's consistently in the Top 10 in The Philippines, even until now. Currently, their only rival here is MOMOLAND

The Japanese version of DDU-DU DDU-DU is out now on Spotify.

Lisa's rap includes an iconic line:
Bitch I’m a star but no Patrick!

[abi]

"I don't wanna boy I need a man" WHOOO?

No but seriously, who wrote Lisa's verse? Seungri? We have Tablo in YG who is fluent in English, then there is CL, Bobby, etc. - and the best they could come up with is... that?

[abi]

Let me bump this since they have a new song with Dua Lipa. #getthatpromo

Still top 3 on Spotify Indonesia and #1 on YouTube Indonesia.

[abi]

"DDdududududududu" is really becoming such a classic over here. They performed here last week and it was such a huge news.

Spotify Indonesia
1. JENNIE - Solo
3. Dua Lipa & BLACKPINK - Kiss and Make Up
5. BLACKPINK - Ddu-Du Ddu-Du

[abi]

Interesting. Wonder what they'll be performing though? "Ddu Du" has the gunshot hand movement during the chorus while "Whistle" goes like make 'em whistle like a missile, bomb bomb so I'm 90% sure it won't be these two.

[crazycool]

^ Good point

I don't really know what other options they have, because their discography is soooooo small. Forever Young sounds dated, Boombayah feels too intense for morning American TV. I can imagine it'll be Ddu Du Ddu Du but with amended choreography.

They're coming to London in May for a concert and I looked at ticket prices. I don't think I will bother seeing them, I like Blackpink but I'm not paying top ticket prices for an act who only has 9 songs in their vault.

[Fan]

The prices for their concert are insane, apparently the cheapest tickets in Amsterdam are 166!! Even Madonna does not charge as much (at least for her cheapest tickets), so I have literally no idea how they can be SOO expensive. Who is gonna pay for that? I would like to see them but never for such a big amount of money.

They're selling out lol People are perched to see the legends!

[abi]

I think Live Nation knew K-Pop fans would really buy anything.

Though yeah they definitely should've lowered the price in order to grab wider audience from regular/non-K-Pop fans.

Jennie better not be lazy now that people are paying such high price to see them!

[urbanmusik]

You're so right. My friend got us tickets for the London show. We agreed to get the tickets no matter the price, but I wasn't expecting £157 each for standing.

[abi]

^Daymn your friend had a lot of money.

Anyway, I saw a couple of videos of them performing at Universal Music Group's GRAMMYs Showcase in LA and Jennie really snapped! All the hair flips and stuff. She must've seen all the hate comments about her being lazy a few months ago.

They have die-hard fans. Here in the Philippines, the Filipino fans regularly attack local Filipino celebrities who they accuse of 'bandwagoning'. An altercation almost happened when there was this Filipino actor who didn't wait in line for their concert here. That's how crazy their fans are.

[abi]

They did great! How can Jennie be lazy at one time and then being the baddest of them all the other times is beyond me though.

[abi]

They just performed on Good Morning America and Jennie snapped! I really couldn't take my eyes off her. Did she just sip a cup of expresso earlier cause I definitely did not see this American spirit when she was performing on Inkigayo a few months ago.

Yeah its weard how Jennie sometimes lacks and performs like she is bored/lazy/not into it, but this latest performances shows the opposite.....

Rosé realy sounded great during that interview!

[abi]

I agree. Rose really carried the whole interview. Jennie tried too but she sounded nervous as heck.
