aespa's "Whiplash" music video crossed 300 million views on YouTube on July 10 at around 6 a.m. KST, marking a new personal speed record for the group.

The video, which dropped on October 21, 2024, reached the milestone in just over one year, eight months, and 18 days—significantly faster than aespa's previous record holder. "Drama," which hit 300 million views last month, took two years, seven months, and 11 days to reach the same threshold.

With this achievement, "Whiplash" becomes aespa's third music video to surpass 300 million views, joining "Next Level" and "Drama" in that tier. The accelerated timeline reflects the track's continued momentum more than a year after its release, underscoring its sustained popularity with viewers.

The rapid climb to 300 million views shows how music videos from established groups can maintain viewing power well into their lifecycle, especially when a track has strong engagement from both casual viewers and dedicated fans rewatching performances and choreography.
