Also known as the Bangtan Boys, BTS crossed 1.1 billion views on YouTube last night. This is the fifth time the group has achieved this.

Idol was launched on August 24, 2018 which means it took over three years, seven months and 10 days to achieve this milestone.

The other four videos that have achieved this are DNA, Boy With Luv, Mic Drop (Steve Aoki Remix) and Dynamite.
