TWICE’s What Is Love? Hits 800 million views

TWICE has just hit the 800 million mark on YouTube for the first time! Early on July 27, at around 4:30 AM KST, 1:00 AM IST, the music video for their smash hit What Is Love? surpassed 800 million views, making it the group's first video to achieve this milestone.

TWICE originally released What Is Love? on April 9, 2018, at 6 PM KST (2:30 AM IST). It took just over 6 years, 3 months, and 16 days for the music video to reach 800 million views. Composed and written by Park Jin Young, What Is Love? is a dance track that captures the curiosities and imaginations of girls who have learned about love through books, movies, and dramas. The song features a bright melody, upbeat dance rhythms, and trap genre influences.

The song earned TWICE their third consecutive Song of the Year award at the 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Much like their Cheer Up music video, the members of TWICE portray characters from famous films in the "What Is Love?" music video. In February 2023, "What Is Love?" became TWICE's first music video to reach 700 million views on YouTube. The song also debuted at the top of Gaon's Digital Chart and Billboard Korea's K-pop Hot 100.
