[enews24=전수미 기자] The music video of BLACKPINK’s “WHISTLE” surpassed the 20 million mark on Youtube views following the group’s other title song “BOOMBAYAH”.

At 11 PM on August 27, “WHISTLE” MV surpassed 20 million views on Youtube and, as of 9 AM on August 28, the music video posted 20,353,873 views.

The music video is going viral thanks to its unique and sensual images, which fit perfectly with the song. The mysterious, gorgeous look of BLACKPINK members and the powerful choreography make the music video even more appealing.

BLACKPINK has also been nominated the no.1 spot of SBS’s Inkigayo chart for two weeks in a row.

Last week, BLACKPINK won the trophy in just 14 days after its debut and set a new record of taking the no.1 spot on a music show in the shortest time. This week, BLACKPINK’s “WHISTLE” and “BOOMBAYAH” were both nominated for the no.1 spot, and many are wondering whether BLACKPINK will be able to keep the no.1 spot for two consecutive weeks.

BLACKPINK had their debut stage on August 14 on the same music show. After the show was aired, BLACKPINK became the hot topic of various portal websites, and their debut stage video posted high views.

BLACKPINK has achieved astonishing success and writing new history although it is a mere rookie. The group dominated Korea’s music charts upon debut, became no.1 on the iTunes charts of 14 countries, and took the top two spot of Billboard’s World Digital Songs charts.
