'Switchblade' is past ten million. We can say that, and we can say when we looked — but not the minute it happened.
At 19:01 KST on August 5 our reading was 8,567,410. At 08:02 KST on August 6 it was 12,055,541. Nothing was read between those two, so the line sits inside that window and nowhere more precise.
The MV is on SMTOWN's channel rather than aespa's own, and it runs 3 minutes and 21 seconds. As of this update the counter reads 12,814,882 views, 240,631 likes and 9,052 comments.
The description under it puts 'Switchblade' inside the second album 'LEMONADE' and links three more videos from the same release — the 'LEMONADE' MV, the 'WDA (Whole Different Animal) (Feat. G-DRAGON)' MV and a 'LEMONADE (Feat. Becky G)' Visualizer.
Context for International Fans
MY, two things worth keeping apart here. An album campaign puts out several videos at once and each one carries its own counter, so a milestone on 'Switchblade' is a milestone for that upload and not for 'LEMONADE' as a release. And this one sits on the label's channel rather than the group's, which is a second place where counts for the same song split apart.
Why It Matters
A number is easy to repeat and hard to check. Two readings either side of the line make the crossing traceable, which a total captured afterwards never can.
What to Watch Next
Three other videos from the same album run their own counters, each measured on its own. Nothing in the post dates anything further.
