BTS' 'Boy With Luv' hits 1.5 billion views on YouTube

MANILA, Philippines — Mega-hit Kpop group BTS' most popular music video "Boy With Luv" achieved a new record as their collaboration with singer Halsey hit 1.5 billion views on YouTube.

This is the boyband's first music video to have reached such a milestone, and it comes just shortly after three years it was released. They join Psy ("Gangnam Style") and Blackpink ("Kill This Love") as the only Kpop acts to hit 1.5 billion YouTube views.

BTS' agency Big Hit Music had only announced last November that "Boy With Luv" reached the 1.4 billion mark. It hit one billion in January 2021.

The group recently announced they will be releasing a new album in June, having successfully finished their four-concert residency at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.
