But that is not the only thing drawing the public's attention.
Take note, they are only part of the seven K-pop acts to hit the top spot on the Billboard charts. The others are: PSY, BIGBANG, 2NE1, EXO, CL, BTS and finally, G-Dragon and Taeyang. What's more amazing is the fact that they were said to be fastest to arrive to the top among the others. With this achievement laid out, you might be thinking about the reason behind their success.
One obvious answer is the countless teasers released before their debut. There was even a rumor that YG waited until SM's Red Velvet first made their appearance. Interest has been building over the years and YG definitely gained the results they wanted. Black Pink's single, "Boombaya" almost have 16 million views on Youtube now...and counting.
