Released at midnight, YG Entertainment’s signature ‘signal time,’ the video quickly climbed to the ‘2nd most-watched YouTube video worldwide in 24 hours.’ By 3 PM the next day, it had already exceeded 9.2 million views, practically ensuring it would hit 10 million views within the day.
BabyMonster’s impact is also evident on prominent international music platforms.
They quickly reached the top of QQ Music’s music video chart, China’s largest music platform, and made a ‘hot shot debut’ in the top 30 of the worldwide iTunes song chart.
Industry and public opinion praise ‘Forever’ as a new milestone in the ‘YG-style seasonal song’ genre, blending hip-hop fundamentals with a refreshing summer vibe.
BabyMonster is currently conducting their fan meeting tour ‘BabyMonster Presents: See You There,’ with ten events in six major Asian cities.
