YG's new girl group 'BLACKPINK's' first dance practice video has reached 3M views.

They proved their great popularity even before their official debut and today, July 14th at 9 AM gathered 3,062,804 views in just 9 days after release. Their dance practice video got 1M views a day, 2M in 3days, and on July 14th surpassed 3M views, which is an amazing record.

Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, and Lisa wore 'All-black' outfits, looked fully armed while matching the beat to the  'knife-like choreography'. They are good at dancing while dancing sexily, thus increasing the expectations about their future performances.

The immediate reactions were such as, "Indeed they are a YG rookie group that is ready","Popularity explosion", "Ready for a real jaw-dropping debut","Please debut quickly, this oppa is waiting for you", and so on, showing support towards BLACKPINK.

Meanwhile, fans from around the world did many reaction videos as well as dance covers of BLACKPINK, ultimately generating even more attention.

YG's main producer Teddy, who created numerous hit songs, has been working on BLACKPINK's debut album for the past 2 years, moreover it's very likely they will shoot MV's for each song they will release later.  Clearly, we can feel how big the expectations and confidence YG has about BLACKPINK.

[OSEN] YG rookie girl group BLACKPINK released dance practice video as a complete team for the first time prior to their upcoming debut, grabbing all the attention. By reaching 2M views, BLACKPINK proved an overwhelming interest towards them. They lead all the interest, and then lead again.
YGEnt's side published the first dance practice video of BLACKPINK last week on the 6th. After a day of its release, it surpassed 1M views, also broke a record 2M views in 4 days, hence proving the overwhelming interest. This is a very unusual case, for having this hot response and gaining so much popularity even before BLACKPINK official debut. This is how much BLACKPINK show great interest. Through this video, BLACKPINK has successfully proved their skills. Along with members' profiles and solid filmography, their skills were proven. With 4 members' strongest skills and the intense charms that they showed, it was labeled as a 'jaw-dropping' video by fans. BLACKPINK led the explosive response through a dance practice video alone. So, after debut, they are expected to write new and more records.

Comments:

[+42,-6] What kind of concept will BLACKPINK show? I am so curious.
[+35,-6] 2M views??? It hasn't even reached 1 week after release, but 2M? They are amazing.
[+31,-5] Dance practice video's concept itself is too strong, I am anticipating how their debut song will be.
[+43,-11] Rather than having too many members, 4 members are enough.
[+14,-2] YG indeed have always gone so amazing even before debut.
[+4,0] Other girl groups only have 2 members who are popular and honestly when their group only has 1 or 2 members who are famous, the other members will be behind them!! When 4 members of BLACKPINK are all already known and popular, they will succeed!

[+11966,-488] Thats right, it's reasonable going with 4 members only rather than debuting more than 4 members without knowing anything about them.

[+10117,-872] 100x better than gugudan

[+6789,-487] each member possesses different charms, and I like that they have few members, it seems refreshing

[+4629,-384] I am anticipating!.... I like 4 members.

[+1047,-62] 4 members is good, but revealing those 4 members basically wasted a month already though

[+1192,-117]  these days big girl groups like Dia Gugudan, twice, red velvet  cannot be guaranteed to be only successful from the hype their company tries to get them but YG seems good at creating hype

[+760,-55] BLACKPINK? so does that mean that there will be a unit, black: 2 members and pink: also 2 members  and promote at the same time?

[+786,-78] Finally YG group is out and since Teddy is producing this group I expect a Hiphop concept more than an innocent concept.

[+710,-68] They are just new rookies though, but I like their attitude

[+459,-53] 4 members is about right YG makes his groups really well

[+383,-67] I think they will really succeed, YG's representative girl group

She is a member who has both fierce and has strong visuals. Additionally, will YG new girl group announce more new members or will this four-member group be the final promoted group? This has attracted a lot of curiosity and attention.

Comments:

[+1718] If even this time you try to say that YG doesn't look at visuals, then you've probably gone blind.

[+1564] Even with these photos, you're saying YG doesn't value visuals? 

[+1111 ] Very pretty, the comments below are saying that YG, as expected, doesn't value visuals, how embarrassing, these few people cannot represent the greater population. 

[+986] [heart] Confession: Rosé [chuckle] featured on GD sunbaenim's "Without You"; Darling baby, love her so much [laugh]

[+866] exm? Even with looks like this, it's still not valuing visuals? What do they have to look like in order for it to qualify as valuing visuals?

[+803] Don't value visuals . . . I think she's quite pretty . . . . . . . . .  I don't understand what your personal tastes are worth anyway ? ? ?

[+798] Is it that shading YG has just become a habit to you now? I think that this time the new girl group is not bad [cry] [cry]

[+772] Park Chaeyoung, born in Australia on February 11, 1997. Roseanne Park featured in GD's "Without You" and is the main vocal in the new group. Bright and outstanding vocals was praised by Papa YG as one of YG's favorite vocal colors. Let's anticipate the strength of our new main vocalist! [laugh]

[+752] The girls that YG picks are all very natural and comfortable to look at.
