BTS' 'Dynamite' Makes History As The First Korean Boy Group MV To Reach 1.9 Billion Views
BTS has just achieved another milestone in their extraordinary journey! On December 9, 2024, their music video for “Dynamite” surpassed an impressive 1.9 billion views on YouTube. This achievement comes just over four years since its release on August 21, 2020.
Not only is “Dynamite” BTS’s first music video to hit 1.9 billion views, but it also holds the distinction of being the first K-pop boy group video to reach this landmark. Previously, the song had made history by becoming the fastest K-pop group video to reach 1.8 billion views.
About BTS
BTS, a South Korean boy band formed in 2010, has revolutionized the global music scene. The group—comprising Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—has written and co-produced much of their music. Initially a hip hop group, BTS has expanded their style to include various genres, often tackling deep themes like mental health, self-love, and the struggles of growing up. Their lyrics also touch on philosophy and literature, creating a unique narrative throughout their discography.
Since their debut in 2013, BTS has shattered records. Their 2016 album Wings was their first to sell over one million copies in South Korea. By 2017, BTS had become a global force, topping the Billboard 200 and making history with their single “Dynamite,” which was the first Korean song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
BTS is not only the best-selling musical act in South Korean history, having sold over 40 million albums, but they also made history as the first non-English-speaking group to sell out Wembley Stadium and the Rose Bowl. Their influence extends beyond music; they’ve partnered with UNICEF on the Love Myself anti-violence campaign and addressed the United Nations General Assembly three times.
Though the group is currently on a break for mandatory military service, a reunion is planned for 2025, ensuring their legacy continues to grow.
