TWICE’s “Cheer Up” MV surpasses 600 million views…5th all-time milestone

“Cheer Up” reaches 600 million views, “everlasting” syndrome proven by the K-pop queen

Global girl group TWICE, constantly rewriting K-pop history, has built yet another heavy-duty golden milestone. Released in 2016, the mega hit song “Cheer Up” (CHEER UP) saw its music video surpass 600 million YouTube views, reaffirming a global grip so solid that eight years feels meaningless. According to JYP Entertainment, the momentous record was reached recently, and beyond being just a number, it reflects the unparalleled status of TWICE, deeply etched into the minds of music fans worldwide.

With this, TWICE has completed a record-setting feat of owning music videos with “600 million views” or more for the fifth time in total—following “TT,” “What Is Love?”, “LIKEY” and “FANCY.” The point is that even amid the fast-shifting global K-pop market, it signals the group is holding both an unwavering fandom and mainstream appeal at the same time.

Back when it was released, “Cheer Up” rode a syndrome-level surge thanks to its signature bright sound and energetic performances. The song has wielded massive influence across the broader world of pop culture. In particular, the craze for “SashaSasha”—the killing part—has remained one of the most intense memes in K-pop history, and even now it firmly guards a corner of global listeners’ playlists, transcending borders and generations.

Matching its overwhelming success on online platforms, the “global ticket power” proven on offline stages is at an astonishing level as well. TWICE managed to draw a cumulative audience of 1.5 million through its fifth world tour “READY TO BE”, held across 51 shows in 27 regions worldwide. Not only did the group become the first K-pop girl group ever to step into the American “Sofi Stadium” and “MetLife Stadium,” but it also sold out the finale performance at “Nissan Stadium,” widely regarded as the dream stage for artists around the world, reaching the peak as world class.

In this way, TWICE is pushing past the limits of K-pop itself by delivering overwhelming results in every metric—from music sources and YouTube to an ultra-large stadium tour.
