The music video for “Pink Venom” recorded 90.4 million views in the 24 hours after its release, breaking the world record for a female artist in 24 hours.

The song also debuted on the UK's official single chart Top 100, one of the world's two largest charts along with US Billboard, as No.22.

This is the eighth time BLACKPINK has entered the UK Official Singles Chart since “DDU-DU DDU-DU” in June 2018. Their highest ranking on this chart was No.17, “Sour Candy,” a collaborative song with Lady GaGa, in June 2020.

“Pink Venom” is a hip-hop genre with BLACKPINK's unique charisma. It starts with a traditional geomungo sound intro, and the sharp rap and impressive vocals convey the charm of all four members.
