Earlier this week on Monday (May 3), Blackpink made history with their smash single “How You Like That” as it reached 20 million likes on YouTube. That’s an incredible number of thumbs ups for any upload to hit, as only about 10 have done so in the history of the platform. 
 
The South Korean girl group’s win stands out as the only visual from an all-female band of any kind to make it to that figure, and now just a handful songs performed by Korean stars have managed to enter this very exclusive club of some of the most popular and successful treatments of all time. 
The “How You Like That” music video is now just the fifth upload by a Korean musician to accrue at least 20 million likes on YouTube. 
Two music videos are currently tied as the most-liked by Korean musicians of all time, as YouTube rounds numbers to the lowest million, as long as the clip has actually reached that specific sum. Both BTS’s “Dynamite” and Pinkfong’s “Baby Shark” (Pinkfong isn’t properly a band, but it counts as a Korean musical entity in this case) have thus far racked up 27 million likes on the site, and either one of them could pull ahead and advance to 28 million sometime soon. 
 
Several million thumbs ups behind both of those viral sensations comes BTS’s other massive smash, “Boy With Luv.” The global hit, which credits American pop singer Halsey as a featured vocalist, has already been liked by 22 million people, and it’s a favorite among fans of the South Korean septet, so that number could also improve. 
 
Psy’s pioneering “Gangnam Style” is just one million (or probably fewer) likes behind “Boy With Luv,” as it sits steady at 21 million endorsements on YouTube. 
It looks like the next video by a South Korean musical act that will hit 20 million likes on YouTube will be Blackpink’s “Kill This Love,” which needs less than one million people to give it a thumbs up in order to join this group. When it does (perhaps later this year), the quartet will join BTS as the only groups from their home country (or from any country, it appears) to see more than one of their efforts reach that mark.

BTS is the only name to score more than one video with 20 million likes (so far).
