Reaching the mark in just over a month

Soompi reports the count crossed 200 million at around 8 a.m. KST (Korea Standard Time). The video had been public since Sept. 4 at 9 a.m. KST, so the milestone arrived roughly 34 days after release. Soompi describes "SaWaDiKa" as a pre-release single, meaning it came out ahead of a larger project. [1]

A first among K-pop videos this year

Soompi's headline calls it the first 2026 music video by a K-pop artist to reach 200 million views. That framing covers videos released this year only, so it does not compare the result with older releases. The single was also Lisa's first solo music since her debut full-length album "Alter Ego" in February 2025, as The Korea Times noted. [1][2]

The single leads into an October EP

"SaWaDiKa" is the lead track of Lisa's six-track EP "PRESS PLAY," and the milestone comes ahead of that EP's Oct. 23 release. Inference: the video's view count may keep rising as the EP approaches, though the supplied reports do not say how it will develop. [3][2]
