EYEKONS can add another one. A 33-second clip on KATSEYE's channel — posted under the caption 'you make the light and the shadows collide' — went past ten million views on August 4, and this desk has both sides of the line: 9,954,935 at one minute past eight in the morning Korean time, 10,074,278 at three minutes past one in the afternoon. Somewhere in those five hours it crossed, and nothing here will invent a tidier moment than that.
The clip went up at 4:31 in the morning on July 30, so the crossing sits between five days and three hours and five days and nine hours after posting. By 2:34 p.m. on August 4 the counter had moved on again to 10,106,588, against 538,241 likes and 21,422 comments.
That makes nine KATSEYE posts past ten million in this desk's record, every one of them logged since August 2 — the run that carried 'must have been the wind', 'are you with me?', 'valid', 'honestly are we ok????' and the rest of the WILD-era clips over the same line. The channel counts 12.5 million subscribers.
Readings like these only exist if somebody takes them while the number is still moving. K-POP PULSE reads the official counters through the day and keeps what they say with the time attached, which is why this crossing has two numbers around it instead of one round figure after the fact.
