BTS has achieved another milestone with its hit song “Dynamite,” as its music video became the fastest K-pop group visuals to amass 1.8 billion views on YouTube.
The song set the benchmark high after its release on August 21, 2020, and on Friday, it reached 1.8 billion views, becoming the first Korean boy group music video to achieve this feat.
It took the seven-member boy band three years and six months to reach this breakthrough, surpassing the record of BLACKPINK’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” which took the girl group three years and seven months.
Fans of BTS, known as “Army,” have been excitedly commenting on the video, expressing their pride and admiration for the group. One fan wrote, “Army, I’m so proud of you, the legendary fandom of the legendary group. When BTS is in the military, the Army is letting them shine and be on the top of charts and breaking records.”
Another fan noted, “This is not a song, this is a masterpiece.” The fandom aims to go for two billion views before BTS reunites following their mandatory military service in 2025.
