BTS’s music video for “I NEED U”, originally released in 2015, surpassed 100 million views on YouTube according to Big Hit Entertainment on Tuesday.

According to the agency, the original version of the music video for “I NEED U” surpassed 100 million views on YouTube around 6 pm on Monday, March 15. This makes it BTS’s 30th music video to garner over 100 million views, once again breaking the band’s own record.

“I NEED U” is the lead track of BTS’s third mini album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1 released in 2015. The music video was uploaded in May 2015 and is R-rated due to scenes of fighting and arson.
