BTS' MIC Drop remix hits 1.5 billion views, becomes 4th MV to reach milestone after Dynamite, Boy With Luv and DNA
There's no such thing as a 'comeback' for BTS —because, let's be honest, they never really left. Even during their mandatory military service, the buzz around BTS never faded. Credit goes to their ever-loyal fandom, ARMY, who kept the fire burning by pushing their music, making sure their tracks stayed relevant, trending, and talked about year after year.
Whether it was solo album drops or surprise features, ARMY was always there, turning every release into a global event. And now, yet another milestone has been unlocked—this time for one of BTS' most electrifying tracks: MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix). As of May 23 (Friday) at 5:07 PM KST, the music video has officially surpassed 1.5 billion views on YouTube!
This makes MIC Drop the fourth BTS music video to join the 1.5 billion club. It follows the pop juggernaut Dynamite, which is already nearing 2 billion views, Boy With Luv at 1.8 billion and climbing, and DNA with 1.6 billion and counting.
MIC Drop stands out for its explosive energy, delivering a fierce blend of rap, dynamic visuals, and just the right touch of remix magic. It's one of those tracks that perfectly showcases BTS' hip-hop roots, wrapped in a high-voltage package.
For anyone unfamiliar with the remix, here's a quick rewind: Released on November 24, 2017, the Steve Aoki remix took the original track from BTS' Love Yourself: Her mini-album and transformed it into a full-blown electro-trap anthem. Aoki's signature EDM synths and trap beats gave it a whole new identity—less hip-hop, more electronic rage—and the music video, featuring both BTS and Aoki himself, was the cherry on top.
It took MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix) just seven years, five months, and 28 days to hit this incredible milestone. And with the passion of ARMY, who's to say what record it'll break next?
Congratulations, BTS! Here's to many more billions.

She further added that her battles would have been lesser if she weren't an outsider. 'As basic as getting respect and being treated as an equal. The battles would have been lesser. Hanging on…" she wrote. Check out her story below. Sanvikaa plays the role of Rinki- Pradhanji and Manju Devi's daughter- in Panchayat. She is gearing up for the release of the highly-anticipated Panchayat season 4, which is set to premiere on June 24, on Amazon Prime Video. Born as Pooja Singh, Sanvikaa is originally from Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur. She completed her graduation in engineering but never really wanted to step into a 9-to-5 job. Last year, in an interview with a YouTube channel, she opened up about her career trajectory. She revealed that when she thought of pursuing her acting career, she told her parents that she was going to Bangalore for a job but instead flew to Mumbai. In Mumbai, she had to weather some setbacks but soon got work as an outfit assistant director. She simultaneously auditioned for several other titles and a few weeks later got a commercial ad. Her biggest break came when she was roped in to play Rinki in Panchayat. This turned her into a household name and everyone on social media couldn't stop talking about it. She later went on to be a part of several OTT shows including Ravi Dubey starrer Lakhan Leela Bhargava and Hajamat among others. First Published:
