BTS continues to set records on YouTube, this time with their explosive hit “MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)” officially surpassing 1.5 billion views.

The music video hit the milestone on May 23 at 5:07 p.m. KST, over seven years after its initial release in November 2017.

This marks the fourth BTS music video to join the 1.5 billion club, following the mega-hits “Boy With Luv,” “Dynamite,” and “DNA.”

“MIC Drop,” known for its aggressive energy, slick choreography, and international appeal, has remained one of BTS’s most iconic crossover tracks.

The Steve Aoki remix in particular helped solidify their global status, blending EDM with hip-hop swagger.

The remix video has resonated with fans for years, showcasing BTS’s dynamic stage presence and charismatic defiance through the metaphorical “mic drop.”

Its bold visuals, powerful rap lines, and unforgettable hook continue to draw viewers, keeping it relevant long after its debut.

Released on November 24, 2017, the video took just under 7 years, 6 months to reach this historic number.

The achievement is another testament to BTS’s massive global reach and the ARMY’s unwavering support, as the group continues to dominate music platforms worldwide—even during their military service period.

Congratulations to BTS and ARMY for another major milestone! You can relive the thrill and energy of the track by watching the official MV belownnhttps://youtu.be/kTlv5_Bs8aw
