j-hope’s Killin’ It Girl featuring GloRilla continues to dominate 10 days after release
Released on June 13, 2025, Killin’ It Girl featuring American rapper GloRilla marked a double celebration for fans as the track dropped on BTS' 12th anniversary, making the day even more memorable. The music video was released just hours before the first encore concert of HOPE ON THE STREET's finale, adding to the excitement.
Within just 43 minutes, the music video crossed one million views, making it the fastest K-pop music video of the year to hit that milestone. It broke the previous record held by BLACKPINK’s Jennie, whose LIKE JENNIE reached the mark in one hour and 22 minutes.
In a fun twist, during the Stationhead listening party, j-hope cheekily revealed that he wanted bandmates Namjoon and Jin to take on the Killin’ It Girl dance challenge. Given the song’s bold and explicit vibe and the fact that Hobi appears shirtless in the music video, fans found his choice of RM and Jin—known for their more reserved styles—particularly hilarious.
However, it was Jimin who stepped up instead. On June 24, 2025, he posted his version of the challenge on Instagram, earning praise from fans and even from Hobi himself. To top it off, there was a brief cameo by the youngest BTS member, Jungkook, delighting fans even more.
Even after 10 days, Killin’ It Girl is still the talk of the town. Fans of the K-pop group are eagerly looking forward to what’s next from all the members.
