BTS Beats Another Record As "IDOL" Hits 40 Million Views

BTS’s momentum isn’t slowing down any time soon!

At approximately 10:09 a.m. KST on August 25, BTS’s “IDOL” reached 40 million views, just 16 hours and 9 minutes after it was released on August 24 at 6 p.m. KST.

BTS has subsequently broken yet another record as having the fastest Korean group music video to reach this milestone, beating their own record of 23 hours and 24 minutes set by “Fake Love.”

The new record achieved by “IDOL” may be fastest time to 40 million views for any artist’s MV on YouTube. However, there is a lack of official sources that could confirm this.

The “IDOL” MV also currently has 4 million “likes” on YouTube.

Congratulations to BTS!
