According to Forbes, the music video had a “live view count between 3 and 4 million” when it premiered on YouTube, making BTS the biggest YouTube debut of all time. When the video was first released, ARMY set a target of 100 million views in a single day.

The music video for “Dynamite” reached 20 million views in just over an hour and 14 minutes.
