It’s been two years since Twice released its third EP “Twicecoaster: Lane 1.” The music video to the EP’s lead single “TT” hit 400 million YouTube views Monday, making Twice the first female K-pop act to reach that milestone.

On Sunday, another single from the nine-piece girl group, “Likey,” reached 300 million views.

Twice now has one 400 million-view music video, one 300 million-view video, and three 200 million-view videos -- “Cheer Up,” “Like Ooh-ahh” and “Knock Knock.” All of the music videos to its nine singles have over 100 million views.

The first K-pop group to reach 400 million YouTube views was BTS.
