The world is finally standing up and taking note of BTS, and their new album Map of the Soul: Persona is likely to break records everywhere. Their brand new single with Halsey called “Boy With Luv” has already completely smashed YouTube‘s 24-hour record. “Kill This Love” by Blackpink achieved the previous record just one week prior.
“Boy With Luv” now officially holds the most-viewed 24-hour debut in all of YouTube’s history. The music video features the entire group and Halsey performing in a colorful world all their own, inspired by the sound of their new album Persona.
The streaming platform took to Twitter to share the good news…
