Three years, nine months, and 18 days. That’s how long it took for (G)I-DLE’s “Nxde” to join an exclusive club — and now the group has done something almost no K-pop act manages: cross 400 million YouTube views not once, but twice.
(G)I-DLE Milestone, Explained
Shortly after 11:20 p.m. KST on August 4, “Nxde” officially surpassed the 400-million-view mark on YouTube. It’s the second (G)I-DLE music video to hit this milestone, following their record-breaking anthem “Queencard.” Released on October 17, 2022, “Nxde” has spent nearly four years climbing the charts and racking up views — proof that its bold, genre-bending sound still resonates with fans worldwide.

Why “Nxde” Still Hits Different
Part concept, part statement — “Nxde” built its legacy on reinventing the female empowerment anthem, wrapped in a genre-fluid production that made it instantly replayable. That kind of staying power is rare even among chart-topping K-pop releases, where trends move fast and older tracks often fade from view counts. “Nxde” simply refused to slow down.
With two videos now in the 400-million club, (G)I-DLE cements itself among the most consistently streamed girl groups of the decade — a feat that puts them in rare company on the global stage.
