Statistics released by Youtube Korea also showed that the music video for "Ring", the title song from their third mini-album "2009, Of Us", was ranked first on the "most watched video" for the month of October.

The music video officially recorded over 747,292 hits on the website as of October 30, but including the videos fans have posted separately, the total number of views for "Ring" is estimated to stand at over 1 million.

It was also topped the "Most Talked About Video" chart with 3,844 comments.
