BTS breaks the MV record of "2 billion views", challenging both BLACKPINK and Kpop to make waves

BTS has just set a record when the MV Dynamite reached 2 billion views on YouTube, becoming the first K-pop boy group to join the "2 billion views" club, officially competing with BLACKPINK .

September 4, 2025 marks an important milestone in BTS's career when the MV Dynamite officially surpasses 2 billion views on YouTube, becoming the group's first MV to reach this number and also the first time a K-pop boy group has conquered a rare record. According to BIGHIT Music, the MV reached an impressive milestone at 9:16 a.m. Korean time, exactly 5 years after the release date on August 21, 2020. This achievement once again proves BTS's enduring charisma, despite the group's suspension of collective activities over the past few years.

Not only on YouTube, Dynamite also set a new record when it became the first song by an Asian artist to reach 2 billion listens on Spotify, affirming the group's global influence. This is BTS's first English song, opening a new phase in their international career. Upon its release, Dynamite rose to the top of the Billboard HOT 100, becoming the first Korean song to reach this position, and at the same time staying at the top for three consecutive weeks, proving the power of spreading music beyond the borders of Asia.

The song also won many prestigious awards such as Best Song at the MTV EMA 2020, Top Selling Song at the Billboard Music Awards 2021 and a series of nominations at the GRAMMY, making Dynamite not only a commercial hit but also a turning point that made BTS a pioneering group that brought K-pop to the center of global music.

For many years, BLACKPINK has always been considered a Kpop group that dominates YouTube with many MVs with billions of views such as DDU-DU DDU-DU, Kill This Love, BOOMBAYAH or How You Like That, in which DDU-DU DDU-DU has now exceeded 2.3 billion views. With Dynamite's new achievement, BTS officially joined the "2 billion views club", previously only represented by BLACKPINK, which not only affirmed BTS's outstanding strength but also made the race between the two "kings of Kpop queens" more thrilling than ever.

Dynamite was born in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, when the world needed positive messages. With a bright disco-pop melody, the song is considered a "spiritual medicine", bringing optimism and positive energy to listeners around the globe. The simple but emotional message of the song quickly became a cultural phenomenon, creating a strong wave of spread. BTS's colorful MV combined with eye-catching choreography has also become a trend around the world, covered by millions of international fans and artists, strengthening the group's image and contributing to promoting the Hallyu wave to spread more strongly than ever.

While fans celebrated the record 2 billion views, attention also focused on the group's reunion expected in 2026. BTS will release a new album and organize a global tour, an event that is expected to "explode" the music market after a 4-year absence. Dynamite is not only a commercially successful song but also a cultural icon, proving that music has no language barrier. This success continues to affirm BTS's position as the leading representative of K-pop on the international stage and opens a new chapter in the journey of bringing Korean music to the world.
