"Idol" Surpasses 1 Billion Views On YouTube
Date: September 11, 2021
"Idol" Official MV has surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube!
This is BTS’s sixth MV to reach this milestone. “Fake Love” joined the billion views club just less than one week ago. These two music videos now join “DNA,” “Boy With Luv'“ featuring Halsey, “Dynamite,” and “Mic Drop” (Steve Aoki remix).
This time, BTS’s music video that accompanied their single “Idol” has reached one billion plays on YouTube, making it the rare success among visuals uploaded by South Korean musicians. The visual treatment was posted to YouTube in August 2018, so it took a little more than three years for the clip to reach one billion plays.
