A decade after its explosive release, GD X Taeyang’s iconic collaboration “GOOD BOY” has reached a remarkable new milestone by surpassing 400 million views on YouTube.
As of June 25 at around 11 p.m. KST, the music video officially crossed the 400 million mark, nearly ten years, seven months, and four days since its debut on November 21, 2014.
This feat not only reaffirms the enduring popularity of the track but also highlights the lasting impact G-Dragon and Taeyang—two powerhouse members of BIGBANG—have had on the global K-pop scene.
When “GOOD BOY” first dropped, it was hailed as a genre-defying hit, blending hip-hop with EDM in a way that was both experimental and mainstream-friendly.
The song’s powerful beat, catchy hook, and explosive charisma were elevated by a music video that was visually groundbreaking for its time, featuring bold neon visuals, glitch effects, and dynamic camera work that perfectly matched the track’s high-octane energy.
With G-Dragon’s magnetic swagger and Taeyang’s signature vocals and dance skills, the collaboration felt effortless, yet meticulously crafted.
The longevity of “GOOD BOY” on YouTube underscores its influence as a cultural touchstone, especially considering that it was not tied to an album release or a traditional group comeback.
Instead, it stood on its own as a special unit project and left a lasting impression that transcended K-pop boundaries.
Over the years, fans around the world have continued to revisit the video, keeping its view count steadily climbing through streaming parties, anniversaries, and tributes.
This milestone is especially meaningful at a time when both G-Dragon and Taeyang are navigating new chapters in their careers.
With ongoing solo activities, brand endorsements, and evolving musical directions, the achievement reminds fans of their immense contributions not just as individuals but also as collaborators with explosive synergy.
The success of “GOOD BOY” remains a standout example of their chemistry, creativity, and ability to push the envelope in the music industry.
As “GOOD BOY” joins the ranks of legendary K-pop videos with hundreds of millions of views, it continues to inspire new generations of fans and artists. Its legacy, much like the artists behind it, shows no signs of fading.
Congratulations to GD and Taeyang on this incredible achievement—and for continuing to define what it means to be both trendsetters and timeless icons in K-pop.
