BTS achieved another major milestone as their 2018 track IDOL crossed 1.4 billion views. The music video hit the mark on July 29 at 9:19 p.m. KST, becoming the group's fifth to reach this level.
According to a source close to the agency, the IDOL MV joined the elite club alongside Boy With Luv, DNA, Dynamite, and MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix). Released back on August 24, 2018 at 6 p.m. KST, the video took just over seven years, eleven months, and five days to hit the 1.4 billion milestone.
Fans are already flooding timelines with stan tea, celebrating the slow-burn bop finally getting its flowers. The achievement cements BTS's lasting grip on global streams and proves their catalog keeps delivering years later.
YouTube counters ticked past the threshold without any special push, letting the numbers speak for themselves in pure stan fashion.
