The music video of BTS' new song 'Permission to Dance' - which was only released globally on 9 July - exceeded 200 million on 26 July. Now BTS have their 22nd 200 million-view music video in their career.
'Permission to Dance' was written by English song-writer Ed Sheeran and succeeded in hitting the top of the 'Hot 100' on the US Billboard's main single chart. The previous top place was also held by BTS with the single 'Butter', which was number one for seven weeks in a row.
The music video for 'Permission to Dance' recorded 72.3 million views within 24 hours of its release and became the fourth YouTube premiere music video by BTS to watch after 'Butter', 'Dynamite' and 'Life Goes On' with 2.3 million users watching the premiere.
BTS were recently appointed the 'Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture' by the present South Korean president Moon Jae-in. The band will attend major international conferences such as the UN General Assembly in September to deliver messages of comfort and hope.
