BTS smashed records with their latest album Love Yourself: Tear as they managed to sell more than 1.44 million pre-order in South Korea alone.
And now theyve gone and hit another milestone by reaching 40 million views on YouTube with their single Fake Loves new music video.
The band only released the hit yesterday (18 May) and in less then 24 hours, they have already broken their own record for the fastest K-pop group MV to reach 40 million views.
Their hits started strong at 10 million only five hours after the track had been uploaded. This then grew to 20 million in eight hours, 30 million in 16 hours and now stands at a staggering 48 million hits.
The boys have clearly done good.
It has not yet been confirmed, however the record set for Fake Love might just be the fastest time to 40 million views for any artists MV on YouTube.

And the boys didnt shy away from the fact that they knew their hit would do well, as since its release they have spoken about how good the tune really is.
Talking on VLive ahead of its release, Jimin said: I think [the fans] will love Fake Love. I personally wouldnt say that one of our songs is this good. But Fake Love was good.
J-Hope added: Jimin was going crazy in the shower!
V said of the track that Jin is the standout, saying: Jin-hyung had a lot of cool parts in Fake Love. Jin-hyung is the main character.
Their video shows the seven members performing snappy dance moves and imitating the Japanese Three Wise Monkeys maxim.
According to the stars, the BTS ARMY fandom can expect more of this at their Billboard awards performance.
RM spoke to Billboard about the secret meaning behind the choreography.

He said: Theres an old saying, like, “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
We put that saying in the main part of our choreography. So its going to be an interesting point if you find this old saying in our choreography. Itll be more powerful than ever.
