As fans around the world celebrate the phenomenal success of “APT.,”the astonishing view count has sparked intense discussions among K-Pop aficionados and the broader music community alike.

Released just over a month ago, “APT.”has gone viral, dominating music charts in both South Korea and internationally.

Western Fans Raise Eyebrows Over View Counts

The explosive rise in views has left many Western listeners bewildered. A segment of skeptics has raised concerns about the authenticity of these numbers, suggesting possible exploitation of advertising techniques or even outright deceit to generate such high view counts.

Some critics have voiced their disbelief, pointing out that many artists struggle to achieve substantial streams. For instance, one commenter observed, “YouTube and Spotify have overshadowed music… Artists hardly reach 200M on Apple Music within a month.” Another user echoed skepticism by commenting on the disparity in view counts for BLACKPINK’s other videos, stating, “Heavy use of fraud ads, her other music videos are yet to cross 300 million views after four years.”

K-Pop Aficionados Rally in Support of BLACKPINK

In response, K-Pop fans quickly came to BLACKPINK’s defense, emphasizing their impressive track record and their role as YouTube trailblazers.

One supporter argued, “Why is everyone forgetting that BLACKPINK dominates YouTube???? They are the most subscribed musicians on the platform. They have two music videos of the same song each exceeding 2 billion views. On average, they collect 100 million streams daily!”

Another fan noted, “500M views for BLACKPINK is a standard feat. Our dance practice video has surpassed 1 billion views. It’s still hard for me to grasp.”

Cultural Perspectives on Streaming Success

To many K-Pop enthusiasts, the astonishment expressed by Western fans is quite amusing, as such streaming figures are commonplace in the K-Pop genre, especially for BLACKPINK.

*”It’s amusing to see Western fans surprised by the view counts; this is typical for K-Pop, particularly BLACKPINK,” * remarked one user. “Our dedication to streaming is genuine, and accusing it of being inorganic overlooks the reality. BLACKPINK has consistently delivered these numbers and holds the title of the #1 most subscribed artist on YouTube.”

Others highlighted the global significance of the song, showcasing the commitment of K-Pop fans to support their idols. One exclaimed, “It’s fascinating how people question the possibility of this phenomenon. We’re discussing a K-Pop sensation from one of the largest groups in South Korea. This achievement is merely routine for their dedicated fan base. This song has shattered several records, and rightly so. I’m overwhelmed with pride for Rosé.”
