BLACKPINK's Lisa breaks record for fastest solo K-pop MV to reach 100M views

BLACKPINK's maknae Lisa has done it again. The Thai rapper's solo debut album, LALISA's title track of the same name, has now broken Psy's record for the fastest solo K-pop MV to reach 100 million views in around two days only.

On September 12, YG Entertainment announced that the LALISA music video has surpassed 100 million views. As of writing this, the video sits at a whopping 120 million views, even though it was only released on September 10.

Lisa breaks Psy's record of fastest K-pop MV solo to reach 100M views

The last record holder for the fastest Korean soloist's music video to reach 100 million views was Psy's 2013 song, Gentleman. His MV crossed the 100 million milestone mark in roughly four days.

But one can always count on BLINKs to make their idols turn out to be record-holders. With their consistent efforts and love, they have now made Lisa the fastest Korean soloist to reach 100 million views on YouTube, in two days. Together they've broken the record set by Psy which stood for eight years.

As this is Lisa's debut as a solo artist, she said she wanted to incorporate Thai culture in it and Teddy, her producer, helped her with it.

Fans saw a completely new side, full of confidence and attitude, of Lisa in the LALISA music video. Aside from the catchy chorus, she wore multiple outfits and showcased many different sides of herself throughout the video.

While some fans are celebrating, a whole new war on Twitter broke out yesterday. Many fans and K-pop stans believe that the chorus is repetitive, the dance is "tiktok influencer level" weak and it doesn't do justice to the great talents Lisa possesses.

They stood their ground on the music video looking aesthetically great, but not when it came to the song, saying that the company could have definitely done better to showcase Lisa's skills.

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment released a special stage clip of LALISA on September 12, which has already garnered 9.9 million views. Check out the video below:

Now with three out of four members of BLACKPINK having already made their debuts as solo artists, BLINKs are eagerly waiting to see what Jisoo's solo debut will look like.
