SEOUL, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) — The music video of South Korean pop musician Psy hit 200 million views on the global video sharing platform YouTube, his agency said Friday.

The K-pop rapper’s hit song “Daddy” has surpassed 200 million views on YouTube in less than a year of its release, his management YG Entertainment said in a press release. Released in December 2015, “Daddy” is one of the two lead songs of Psy’s seventh full-length album “PSY-da,” along with “Napal Baji.”

The video of “Daddy,” featuring CL of K-pop girl group 2NE1, attracted just over 200 million visits as of Friday morning, making Psy the first South Korean recording artist to reach that milestone with four consecutive music videos.

His international breakthrough, “Gangnam Style,” is nearing 2.7 billion views, followed by “Gentleman” with 995 million views and “Hangover” with 272 million views.

“Daddy” also topped Billboard’s World Digital Songs chart in December 2015.
