Lisa's 'SaWaDiKa' Passes 200 Million Views, a 2026 K-Pop First
the first 2026 MV by a K-pop artist to clear 200M — the solo era keeps rewriting the records.
Lisa casually setting another record because that's just the job now.
on October 8 at around 8 a.m. KST, the music video for her pre-release single 'SaWaDiKa' surpassed 200 million views on YouTube — making it the FIRST 2026 music video by a K-pop artist to reach the milestone. first of the year. let that sit.
'SaWaDiKa' leaning into her Thai identity and still outrunning every other K-pop MV of the year is the whole Lisa thesis: global roots, global numbers, zero hesitation. the woman built a lane and paved it herself.
200 million and a year-leading record. mother does not, in fact, miss. 🇹🇭👑

BOYNEXTDOOR Win First Trophy for 'ANIMAL' on 'M Countdown'
the wedding-crashing era is paying off in hardware — and the first win hit right on time.
BOYNEXTDOOR said we top the chart AND the music show, thank you.
on the October 8 episode of 'M Countdown,' the group took their first music show win for 'ANIMAL,' edging out (G)I-DLE's Soyeon's 'I'm gonna TOESA.' after that 700,000-copy Hanteo week, a trophy was basically owed to them — and it landed.
a first win for an 'ANIMAL' era that's been firing on every cylinder just confirms what ONEDOOR already knew: these boys are not a rookie footnote, they're a headline act now.
frame it, ONEDOOR. the animal instincts are undefeated. 🏆🐾
