Rosé's ‘APT.’ Sets New Record as Fastest K-Pop MV to Hit 700 Million Views, Surpassing PSY

BLACKPINK’s Rosé is making waves yet again, smashing YouTube records with her chart-topping collaboration “APT.” featuring Bruno Mars. Released on October 18 at 1 p.m. KST, the music video for this captivating single hit an incredible 700 million views on December 28, around 2 a.m. KST. That’s just 70 days and 13 hours—an achievement that has rewritten K-pop history.

With this milestone, Rosé has shattered PSY’s long-standing record for the fastest K-pop music video to reach 700 million views. The iconic “Gangnam Style” held the title for over 12 years, taking 118 days to hit the mark in 2012. Now, “APT.” stands as the reigning champion, showcasing Rosé’s global appeal and unmatched star power.

But the feat doesn’t end there. On YouTube’s all-time leaderboard, “APT.” is now the fourth fastest music video across all genres to hit 700 million views. Only Adele’s “Hello,” Nicky Jam and J. Balvin’s “X (EQUIS),” and DJ Snake’s “Taki Taki” featuring Selena Gomez, Ozuna, and Cardi B, achieved the milestone in less time.
