BTS' 'Hooligan' music video tops 100 mil. YouTube views

On Wednesday morning, the music video for BTS' song "Hooligan" from their fifth studio album "Arirang" reached an impressive 100 million views on YouTube. This milestone was reached around 6:40 am, according to Big Hit Music, which is the agency for the group and operates under HYBE. "Hooligan" marks the third music video from the album to hit this impressive figure, following the videos for the lead single "Swim" and "2.0."

The album itself is named after a traditional Korean folk song, widely regarded as the unofficial national anthem of the country, and was released on March 20.

The "Hooligan" music video premiered on April 8 on HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. The video features the seven members of the band, clad in black outerwear and sporting tooth gems, performing a powerful synchronized dance with a large group of backup dancers. The video contrasts a moss-covered gray space with vivid red sets.

"Hooligan" serves as the opening act of BTS' "Arirang" world tour. The alternative hip-hop track reflects on the group's journey of carving out its unique path around the world. The song begins with the sound of clashing blades over sweeping strings, pairing a blade-based rhythm with deep 808 bass and a booming low end.
