NewJeans surpassed 200 million views on YouTube with the music video for “Hype Boy,” said agency Ador Thursday.

The video reached the milestone Wednesday and is the third from the group to do so, after those for “OMG” and “Super Shy.” The video, shot in a long take to highlight the performance, was their first to hit the 100-million mark on the platform.

“Hype Boy” is one of the main tracks from the group's eponymous debut album that took the K-pop scene by storm in 2022.

Meanwhile, the bandmates issued a certified letter to their agency Wednesday demanding their grievances be addressed or they would file for contract termination. Shortly after, they assured fans that there was no need to worry.
