[Dispatch=Lee Myung-joo Reporter] BTS has produced an additional music video that surpassed 1.6 billion views.
According to Big Hit Music, the music video for BTS's "MIC Drop" has surpassed 1.6 billion cumulative views on YouTube as of the 16th.
This marks the fourth time their music videos have exceeded 1.6 billion views. "Dynamite," "Boy With Luv," and "DNA" achieved the same record.
The music video was released in November 2017. It is a remixed version of the title track from their fifth mini album by Japanese DJ Steve Aoki.
The video begins with Steve Aoki on the decks. BTS performed perfect synchronized choreography against a backdrop of an interrogation room full of microphones and an automobile.
In particular, the final scene stands out. Suga makes a motion of dropping a microphone toward the camera, powerfully imprinting the message contained in the song.
The remixed version also received enthusiastic reception like the original. Upon release, it entered the US Billboard "Hot 100" at number 28 and remained there for 10 weeks.
Meanwhile, BTS is currently on their world tour "Arirang." They will continue performances in Bogotá, Colombia on the 2nd and 3rd of next month.
