The colorful, choreo-heavy video launched Aug. 20, 2020, and shows members RM, V, Suga, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin and j-hope dancing their way through a bedroom, record store, disco, basketball court and more while singing the upbeat song. The single, which was the group’s first English-language track, debuted at No. 1 on the Sept. 5, 2020-dated Billboard Hot 100. It’s the group’s first song to arrive at the top of the all-genre tally, and remained at the summit for three weeks. “Dynamite” also earned a nod for best pop duo/group performance at the 2021 Grammys, and was certified five-times Platinum by the RIAA in May 2024.
BTS now has an impressive eight music videos that have crossed YouTube’s billion-views threshold. In addition to “Dynamite,” “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey boasts 1.8 billion views as of press time, “DNA” has 1.6 billion, Steve Aoki’s “MIC Drop” remix has 1.5 billion, “Idol” and “Fake Love” are at 1.3 billion, with “Butter” and “Blood Sweat & Tears” both at 1 billion.

All the members of BTS recently finished their mandatory service with the South Korean military. All seven reunited in a video in July to announce their plans for the group’s highly anticipated comeback. Though ARMY had been hoping for new music soon, BTS revealed that an album would not arrive until spring 2026.
“Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,” the K-pop stars told fans at the time. “Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.”
BTS also announced that a world tour would follow to support the upcoming album. Said the band: “We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are.”
So until then, grab a cup of milk and let’s rock n’ roll with the “Dynamite” video:
