Global girl group KATSEYE keeps proving their crossover appeal isn’t slowing down. Their latest music video, “Hootie Frutti,” has become the fastest video in the group’s catalog to reach 100 million views on YouTube — and it didn’t take long to get there.
According to HYBE and Geffen Records, “Hootie Frutti” crossed 100 million views on September 23 at approximately 1 a.m. KST. The video was released on August 14, meaning it took just 40 days to hit the milestone — officially the fastest of any KATSEYE content to reach that number.
For a global group still relatively early in its career, a 40-day turnaround to nine figures signals genuinely accelerating momentum rather than a one-off viral spike.

KATSEYE’s Growing 100-Million Club
With “Hootie Frutti” added to the tally, KATSEYE now has eight videos that have crossed 100 million views — an impressive spread across performance videos, debut singles, and dance versions:
| Video | Views |
|---|---|
| Gabriela (performance video) | 360M+ |
| Touch (debut single) | 300M+ |
| Gnarly (official MV) | 200M+ |
| Gnarly (dance version) | 200M+ |
| Gameboy | Nearing 200M |
| Hootie Frutti | 100M+ (fastest yet) |
Why the Speed Matters?
What makes this record notable isn’t just the total number, but the rate of growth. “Gabriela” and “Touch” built their massive totals over longer stretches of sustained streaming, while “Hootie Frutti” compressed a comparable milestone into a much shorter window — suggesting the group’s audience base has grown significantly since their earlier releases, translating into faster initial engagement on new content.
KATSEYE’s Global Trajectory
Formed through a joint venture between HYBE and Geffen Records, KATSEYE has positioned itself as one of the more prominent global girl groups blending K-pop-style production with a multinational lineup. Their consistent string of 100-million-view videos across different eras of their catalog — from debut single to recent comebacks — points to an unusually durable and expanding fanbase rather than a single breakout hit carrying the group.
