When a B-side track becomes a 100-million-view hit, you know a group’s fandom is on fire. BABYMONSTER just proved it. Their music video for “I LIKE IT” crossed 100 million YouTube views, adding yet another milestone to a streak that keeps growing.
BABYMONSTER: The Milestone in Numbers
According to YG Entertainment, the video passed 100 million views on October 13 at around 5:05 p.m. KST, which is about 1:35 p.m. IST. That’s roughly 99 days after its midnight KST release on July 6.

Why This One Stands Out?
Most 100M-view stories center on title tracks. This one is a B-side, which says a lot about how deeply fans are streaming the group’s catalog, not just their lead singles.
It also adds to a long run. Soompi lists the earlier 100M-view MVs as “BATTER UP,” “Stuck In The Middle,” “SHEESH,” “FOREVER,” “DRIP,” “CLIK CLAK,” “HOT SAUCE,” “WE GO UP,” “Really Like You,” “PSYCHO,” “CHOOM,” and “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA.” Some of these arrived at record speed, and “SHEESH” and “WE GO UP” were each noted as the fastest K-pop MV to reach the mark in their respective years.
A Quick Look at the Streak
- Start: “BATTER UP” reached 100M as the fastest debut MV by a K-pop group.
- Middle: A steady run of hits kept the count climbing, including “DRIP,” “CLIK CLAK” and “HOT SAUCE.”
- Recent: “CHOOM,” “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” and now “I LIKE IT” show the pace hasn’t slowed.
What This Says About BABYMONSTER?
Thirteen 100M-view videos isn’t a fluke. It points to a group that fans keep returning to, with a catalog strong enough that even non-title tracks can reach big numbers. For a YG act, that’s a real sign of staying power.
