This incredible accomplishment also makes “APT.” the sixth-fastest music video of all time to hit 300 million views on the platform.

In addition to breaking the 2024 record, “APT.” has set another significant milestone by becoming the fastest music video by a K-pop solo artist to achieve 300 million views.
