It feels even more meaningful to me because it is the song where the musical challenge shone the brightest.

I rushed over here as soon as I heard the news that 'Idol' has reached 1.4 billion views! While the fact that it is their fifth song to reach 1.4 billion views is impressive in itself, personally, 'Idol' feels even more meaningful to me because it is the track where BTS's musical challenge truly shone the brightest. They proved to the whole world that it is possible to perfectly mix and match traditional Korean elements with hip-hop rhythms. To think that a legendary song that made people shout out our ad-libs right in the middle of the pop market has hit 1.4 billion views is the very definition of promoting Korea's national prestige, both in terms of musicality and records. I am so proud of BTS's unrivaled endeavors and identity.
