40 days, 100 million — a new group record

KATSEYE's Hootie Frutti music video crossed 100 million YouTube views around 1 AM KST on September 23. That was 40 days after the August 14 release. Fastest KATSEYE official video to the mark.

The old record belonged to Animal, a pre-release track that needed 54 days. Hootie Frutti—the title track from the group's third mini-album WILD—got there 14 days sooner.

WILD itself hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. On the Hot 100, Animal peaked at No. 24 and Hootie Frutti at No. 31.

8 videos, 9 figures

The milestone brings KATSEYE's official videos with 100 million or more views to eight.

  • Gabriela performance video: ~360 million views
  • Touch MV (debut track): 300 million+
  • Gnarly official MV: 200 million+
  • Gnarly choreography version: 200 million+
  • Gameboy MV: approaching 200 million
  • Hootie Frutti MV: 100 million+ (40 days)
  • PINKY UP choreography version: 95.41 million
  • Gabriela MV: 94.57 million

The last two are close. Both clearing 94 million means the nine-figure club is about to get crowded.

KATSEYE is a global girl group formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, debuting in the United States in 2024.
