This marks the group's eighth music video to achieve this milestone, following "TT," "Likey," "What Is Love?," "Fancy," "Cheer Up," "I Can’t Stop Me," and "Feel Special."

Twice debuted in October 2015 with "Ooh-Ahh," the main track from their debut EP "The Story Begins." The group's consistent success and growing popularity are reflected in these impressive view counts.

Meanwhile, the group traveled to Japan on Friday for their two-date concert in Osaka. This live show is part of Twice's fifth world tour and will take place in three stadiums across the country over the next three weekends.

Next week, Twice is set to release their fifth Japanese studio album "Dive," marking nearly two years since their last Japanese album, "Celebrate."
