Bigbang's G-Dragon's 'THAT XX' Hits 100 Million Views On YouTube
Bigbang’s G-Dragon has achieved another milestone in his career after his 2012 track “THAT XX” reached over 100 million views on YouTube.
"THAT XX" has become the 33-year-old musician’s fourth music video -- after “Crooked,” “Who You?” and “Untitled, 2014” -- to reach 100 million views on the streaming platform.
Released in September 2012 as part of G-Dragon’s second solo album “One of a Kind,” the track talks about the resentment of a man, who was rejected by a woman for another suitor.
The track’s music video features Blackpink’s Jennie, who was a YG Entertainment trainee at the time. “THAT XX” was Jennie’s first appearance in a YG-related project before debuting as one-fourth of South Korea’s current most successful girl group, Blackpink.
Korean news outlet Dispatch revealed last year that G-Dragon, also known as Kwon Ji-Yong, has been dating Jennie since 2020. The report said that the two stars often meet for secret dates at G-Dragon’s luxury villa in Seoul.
Meanwhile, Bigbang’s latest single, “Still Life” has hit 56 million views, following its release in April. The track is a follow-up to the 2018 track, “Flower Road,” which was the group's farewell song to their fans as the members entered South Korea’s mandatory military service. “Still Life” grabbed the No. 1 spot of Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales Chart in April as fans celebrated the return of the so-called “Kings of K-pop,” who debuted in 2006 and were credited for being the first boy band to ever release an official light stick, which was designed by G-Dragon.
Meanwhile, the fans celebrated G-Dragon's latest achievement on the comment section of the song on YouTube, praising the Bigbang dancer and rapper.
One fan said, “Congratulations GDragon, the King of Kpop, Leader of BIGBANG...the list goes on and on. Jiyong, you got another 100 Million Song to add to all the other songs you've had as a Single performer, As a Group and As a Duo! You are a ROCK!”
Another supporter said, “100M!! Congrats everyone! We should go stream ‘Tonight’ and get that to 100M as well, it’s so close too!”
