What happened
BTS's "Mic Drop" remix music video surpassed 1.6 billion views on YouTube on the afternoon of September 16, imnews.imbc.com reported. The video, which features the members' elaborate performances, was released in November 2017, so it took roughly nine years to hit that number. The report ran as part of the outlet's "Culture and Entertainment Plus" segment on September 17.
Why it matters
The milestone puts "Mic Drop" among BTS music videos that have crossed 1.6 billion YouTube views, a group reported to also include "Dynamite." It shows one of the group's older releases still pulling in large-scale viewership on YouTube years after its original 2017 debut.
