BTS 'Dynamite' Choreography Version MV Surpasses 300 Million Views... Returns as a Full Group in Nearly 3 Years and 9 Months with New Release 'Arirang'

A representative track from the global supergroup BTS, the choreography version music video for 'Dynamite,' has surpassed 300 million views.

Steady popularity of the choreography version first unveiled in a virtual world According to agency BigHit Music, on the 4th, BTS's 'Dynamite (Choreography ver.)' music video surpassed 300 million YouTube views at around 11 a.m. that day. The video made headlines when it was first released as a new way of communicating, where users from around the world gathered in a virtual world and watched together following a collaboration with the world-renowned game developer Epic Games in September 2020. Rather than flashy sets or computer graphics (CG), the concept focuses solely on the upbeat and energetic performances of the seven members themselves, and it continues to be consumed consistently even years after its release.

Hit performance of spinoff content and Billboard Hot 100 records With its bright, upbeat disco pop sound, 'Dynamite' is a song that topped the U.S. Billboard main single chart 'Hot 100' for three consecutive weeks—marking the first time a Korean artist achieved #1 on the Hot 100—and spent 32 weeks on the chart. Not only the main music video, which has surpassed 2 billion views, but also the spinoff content is generating high view counts as well. The B-side video—composed of NG scenes and playful, mischievous cuts by the members—surpassed 200 million views, while the dance practice video cleared 140 million views, showcasing the true strength of BTS as a genuine global steady seller in the pop market.

Resuming full-group activities with the release of the new album 'Arirang' As shown by its record of hundreds of millions of views for countless mega hits and its unwavering global influence, BTS recently shared the welcome news of a full-group comeback. They made a surprise release of the new album 'Arirang' on March 20, resuming group activities for the first time in about 3 years and 9 months. With attention from music fans around the world on the return of the global superstars coming back after a long hiatus in military service, anticipation is growing for another global record BTS will write, alongside its new album promotions.
