On March 12 at 2 p.m. KST, Rosé made her long-awaited solo debut with her first single album “R” and its accompanying title track “On The Ground.”

24 hours later, on March 13 at 2 p.m. KST, Rosé’s music video for “On The Ground” had already amassed a total of 39,062,601 views on YouTube.

Although YouTube has not yet confirmed the music video’s official 24-hour view count, it appears that “On The Ground” may have set a new record for the highest number of views achieved by a K-pop soloist’s music video in its first 24 hours.

If YouTube confirms the figure, Rosé will have broken the previous record of 36 million set by PSY’s 2013 hit “Gentleman,” which has remained unbeaten for 8 years.
