As previously reported, BLACKPINK holds the record as the First Girl Group to have three songs surpass 6 million unique listeners on Melon, with "As If It's Your Last" having 6.3 million listeners, "DDU-DU DDU- DU" having 6.2 million and "Playing with Fire" with 6 million listeners, so if "Forever Young" continues to increase its numbers it could soon become the fourth song by the female quartet to achieve this feat.
