Its accompanying music video was released on the same day and became the most viewed online video, and second most watched music video of all time within 24 hours at the time of its release. It has since become the first and fastest music video by a korean group to reach 1 billion views, and it is currently the most-viewed music video by a K-pop group on YouTube.
DDU-DU DDU-DU was the highest-charting hit ever by a K-pop girl group on the Billboard Hot 100, charting at #55, arriving with 12.4 million U.S. streams and 7,000 downloads sold in the tracking week ending June 21, according to Nielsen Music, also prompting its No. 39 entrance on the Streaming Songs tally, where BLACKPINK becomes the first K-pop girl group to chart a title. It was surpassed by their single Ice Cream featuring artist Selena Gomez, which charted at #13.
The song featured in the fourth episode of season three of Freeform series The Bold Type.

Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
BLACKPINK
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
Eh
착한 얼굴에 그렇지 못한 태도 (uh-huh)
가녀린 몸매 속 가려진 volume은 두 배로 (yo, yo, double up)
Black 하면 pink 우린 예쁘장한 savage (BLACKPINK)
원할 땐 대놓고 뺏지 (uh)
넌 뭘 해도 칼로 물 베기 (uh)
두 손엔 가득한 fat checks

눈 높인 꼭대기, 물 만난 물고기
좀 독해 난 toxic, you 혹해 I'm foxy
두 번 생각해
흔한 남들처럼 착한 척은 못 하니까
착각하지 마
쉽게 웃어주는 건 날 위한 거야
아직은 잘 모르겠지
굳이 원하면 test me

When the bass drop, it's another banger

I really don't get the point of how can the change of vid's category will eventually affect to Vi*es.
And the thing which many people pointed, that "BP/YG have been cheating"
Let's just be real, dear y'all who are salty to YG, Blackpink, and Blinks.
1stly, even if the category has changed, and this video will be appeared on someone's youtube although he/she never watched K-POP before (like what many people said) BUT IT'S NOT ABSOLUTE THAT THEY WILL WATCH BP'S DDDD.
2ndly, when they watched it, meaning that they are interested.
So wtf is wrong? Is it cheating like what you're guys saying?
