KATSEYE ‘Hootie Frutti’ Music Video Surpasses 100 Million Views 40 Days After Release

The music video for "Hootie Frutti," the title track of global girl group KATSEYE's third EP 'WILD', has rewritten the team's YouTube success records. According to HYBE and Geffen Records on September 23, the music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube around 1:00 AM that day.

This record was achieved 40 days after the video was released on August 14. This is deeply significant as it is the fastest speed at which any official video released by KATSEYE has reached 100 million views.

The 'Hootie Frutti' music video visualizes the energy of the song with vibrant colors reminiscent of the Brazilian Carnival. The cheerful choreography, as if tasting fruit, and the members' confident facial expressions add liveliness, garnering enthusiastic responses from fans.

With this achievement, the total number of videos with over 100 million views held by KATSEYE has increased to 8. The 'Gabriela' performance video is recording 360 million views, and the debut song 'Touch' music video has surpassed 300 million views. Additionally, the 'Gnarly' official music video and choreography version are each recording over 200 million views, and the 'Gameboy' music video is also nearing the 200 million view mark.

KATSEYE is a group presented through a joint venture between HYBE and Geffen Records under the 'Multi-Home, Multi-Genre' strategy led by Chairman Bang Si-hyuk. Although they originally started as a 6-member group, they are currently carrying out schedules as a 4-member system consisting of Daniela, Megan, Lara, and Yoonchae, excluding Manon and Sophia, who have suspended activities due to health reasons.
