The numbers are in, and they are huge. BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and former One Direction star Zayn Malik have another reason to celebrate. Their duet music video for “EYES CLOSED” just crossed a major view count on YouTube.
The song brought together two massive fan groups. Now, their teamwork has paid off with a shiny new milestone. The music video proves that this unexpected pairing was a hit with listeners around the world.
‘EYES CLOSED’ Hits 100 Million Views on YouTube
On April 22 at 8:59 p.m. KST, the official music video for “EYES CLOSED” officially passed 100 million views. The video arrived on October 10, 2025, at 1 p.m. KST. It took just over six months and 12 days to reach this number.
This is not a small achievement for a collaboration between a K-pop solo star and a Western pop singer. The video continues to get thousands of new views every day. Fans from both sides worked hard to stream the video and push it past the 100 million mark.
The song also performed well on music charts when it first came out. It reached number one on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and topped the YouTube Top Music Videos global chart.
Jisoo’s Third Solo MV to Reach the Milestone
This new record adds to Jisoo’s growing list of solo successes. “EYES CLOSED” is now her third solo music video to cross 100 million views. Her first was “FLOWER” from her solo debut. The second was “earthquake” from her mini-album ‘AMORTAGE’.
“earthquake” crossed 100 million views on February 7, 2026. That means Jisoo has reached this milestone twice in just a few months. It shows how steady her solo career has become outside of BLACKPINK.
Few K-pop solo artists have three music videos with over 100 million views. Jisoo now stands in a very select group of performers.
A Look Inside the ‘EYES CLOSED’ Music Video
The music video stands out for its look and feel. It places Jisoo and Zayn in a space setting. The two play space travelers looking for a new planet after leaving Earth. The video mixes science fiction with a love story.
