Babymonster garnered 300 million views on YouTube with the “Batter Up” music video, label YG Entertainment said Wednesday.
The video reached the milestone on the previous day, about 14 months after its release. The music video is its second video to do so, after that of “Sheesh,” the main track from the group’s first EP.
“Batter Up” is the rookie girl group’s predebut single. The music video has set multiple records for a K-pop band, logging the most views on YouTube in 24 hours at 22.59 million and surpassing 100 million in the shortest time at 18 days.
Meanwhile, the septet held a two-day concert in Seoul late last month and will fly to the US on Feb. 28 for its first international “Hello Monsters” tour.
