BTS music video "Dynamite" surpasses 2 billion views on YouTube
In the world of K-pop, two music videos have been making waves on YouTube - BTS' "Dynamite" and Psy's iconic "Gangnam Style".
BTS, the global sensation from South Korea, announced plans for a new album and world tour in early 2026, but their latest album "Proof" was released in 2022. The group also made headlines with their single "Dynamite", which was released in August of the same year.
The music video for "Dynamite" has been breaking records on YouTube. It is now the most viewed K-Pop music video on the platform, surpassing two billion views. Remarkably, it is also the first K-Pop music video to reach this milestone.
However, in the South Korean market, Psy's "Gangnam Style" still reigns supreme. Released in 2012, the music video has amassed nearly 5.7 billion views, making it the most viewed video in South Korea on YouTube. This video also holds the YouTube record in South Korea for views.
Interestingly, "Gangnam Style" is not the most viewed music video by BTS on YouTube. That title goes to "Dynamite". Despite this, "Gangnam Style" continues to hold the title of the most viewed YouTube video globally, not just in the K-Pop genre.
In 2022, BTS announced a hiatus due to the mandatory military service of its members in South Korea. This pause in their musical journey has not dampened the enthusiasm for their music, as evidenced by the continued success of "Dynamite" on YouTube.
As we look forward to BTS' return in 2026, their music continues to resonate with fans worldwide, and the records keep falling for the dynamic seven.
