BABYMONSTER became the fastest K-pop girl group to surpass 10 billion cumulative views on a single official YouTube channel, according to YG Entertainment's announcement on Sept. 3, 2026.
The group reached the milestone approximately three years and eight months after its YouTube channel opened in December 2022. BLACKPINK was the first K-pop girl group to reach the same milestone.
BABYMONSTER's rapid growth reflects the role of video platforms in bringing K-pop performances to international audiences. Its channel combines music videos with performance clips and other original content.
The 10 billion figure is not the view count of a single song or music video. It represents cumulative views across the group's official channel, and the record is measured from the channel's launch rather than the group's formal debut.
