BTS has become one of the most successful boy bands in history, not only in South Korea but worldwide. As BTS has paved the way for other Kpop artists, it’s no surprise their music catalog keeps collecting milestones like no other on platforms just like YouTube.
On July 12 KST at midnight, BTS’ music video for “Life Goes On” achieved a brand new milestone as it surpassed 600 million views on YouTube. The music video becomes the 16th music video to reach the milestone, following “DNA,” “Fire,” “Fake Love,” “MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix),” “IDOL,” “Dope,” “Boy With Luv,” “Blood Sweat & Tears,” “Save Me,” “Dynamite,” “Butter,” ““Permission to Dance,” “ON” (Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima), “Not Today,” and “Black Swan.”
“Life Goes On” was originally premiered on November 20, 2020, at 2 p.m. KST, meaning that it took the video just over five years, seven months, and 21 days to reach 600 million views. Congratulations to BTS on this amazing milestone, which is just one of many as the idols are currently promoting their whole music catalog during the “ARIRANG” world tour.
