SEOUL — The music video for K-pop sensation TWICE’s 2016 hit single “TT” has officially surpassed 700 million views on YouTube, JYP Entertainment announced Friday.

The milestone was reached around 2:45 p.m. on Thursday, more than eight years after the video’s original release on October 24, 2016. It marks the group’s second music video to exceed the 700 million view mark, following “What is Love?”

“TT,” the lead single from TWICE’s third EP TWICEcoaster: LANE 1, captures the emotional rollercoaster of a young girl experiencing love for the first time. The song and its Halloween-themed video played a major role in TWICE’s early rise to global fame.

The nine-member girl group is set to release its fourth full-length studio album, This is For, on July 11. Shortly after, TWICE will headline Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 2, becoming one of the few K-pop acts to top the bill at the major U.S. music festival.
