Records
I’m not going to go into too much detail in this section because BTS is constantly breaking their own music video records, but here are some highlights:
- “DNA” was the first ever K-pop group music video to hit 300 million views (in 2018), and was also the first K-pop group music video to reach 400 million, 500 million, and 600 million (in early 2019). It was then passed by BLACKPINK’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” but it still remains the first Korean boy group music video to hit all the milestones from 800 million up to 1.1 billion views.
- “Boy With Luv” is the fastest Korean boy group music video to hit 800 million to 1 billion views.
- “Dynamite” is currently smashing records as the fastest K-pop group music video to reach 100 million to 700 million views.
