NU’EST’s Debut MV Breaks 100M Views After 7 Years

For a K-Pop idol group’s debut music video to reach 100 million views is actually a big deal, mainly because often times such music videos do not receive a lot of attention when the group first promotes as a rookie.

The only groups whose debut track music videos that have passed 100M views are BLACKPINK, (g)i-dle, TWICE, ITZY, and Wanna One.

This has been the case for NU’EST as well, when the boys debuted 7 years ago in 2012, and their debut track “FACE” also didn’t receive too many views immediately. The video was uploaded on March 14, 2012 by the K-Pop channel “1theK” and began accumulating views slowly, but steadily.

By April 28, 2019, the music video for “FACE” ended up breaking 100 million views, after 7 years since its release. NU’EST’s official social media account shared this news with the fans by posting a celebratory tweet and image!

i like to think that we weren't able to achieve the 100M before the year ended or before their 7th anni for a reason. which is to do it right on the day before their official comeback as 5. funny how things work sometimes #NUEST #뉴이스트_언제나_해피엔딩#NUEST_FACE_100MViews pic.twitter.com/t82BCMhfuF
