BTS’s “ON” MV Loses Millions Of YouTube Views, ARMY Trends #YtBring67MBack
ARMY is demanding that YouTube give BTS‘s “ON” MV its missing views back by trending the hashtag #YtBring67MBack.
At midnight on February 28 (KST), BTS premiered their official music video for their MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 title track, “ON”. In just 65 minutes, the video surpassed 10 million views, breaking the “fastest time to reach 10M” record previously held by BTS’s “Boy With Luv” MV.
Views for “ON” continued to skyrocket, thanks to ARMY. At the time this article was written, the total number of views displayed on the “ON” MV was 47M. According to fans, however, millions of views were deleted overnight.
More than 67M views were reportedly deleted from “ON” MV in its first 24 hours. With these missing views added to the current total, the music video’s view count would be approximately 114M.
ARMYs who dedicated their time and effort to streaming “ON” MV are calling out YouTube on Twitter, demanding views back.
Dear Youtube,
