Bts Video 'Dynamite' Breaks Youtube Record For Most Views in 24 Hours
The world's biggest K-pop group released the highly anticipated visuals for the record
on Friday and, of course, the views soared.
By the end of the first day, "Dynamite" had racked up 101.1 million views to become the
most-viewed music video premiere on YouTube.
The incredible feat means that BTS has now dethroned fellow K-pop band Blackpink,
who previously held the record for their song "How You Like That." The music single
had 86.3 million views within 24 hours of its release in June.
BTS is comprised of Kim Tae-hyung (better known as V), Jung Ho-seok (J-Hope), Kim
Nam-joon (RM), Kim Seok-jin (Jin), Park Ji-min, Jeon Jung-kook, and Min Yoon-gi
(Suga).
As of Monday morning, "Dynamite" had amassed more than 178 million
YouTube views.
"Dynamite" marks BTS's first single sung completely in English. The nearly
four-minute video keeps things light with colorful and bright scenes
featuring the seven members with retro concept props, hairstyles and attire.
According to a press release, "The song aims to bring a new surge of
much-needed 'energy' to reinvigorate the global community in the midst of
Covid-19."
"Dynamite" was released ahead of BTS's upcoming album which is
expected to arrive later this year. They released their fourth album, "Map of
the Soul: 7" in February.
BTS is set to sing "Dynamite" at a premiere performance during the 2020
MTV Video Music Awards on August 30.
