The music video for “Dynamite” also broke records, becoming the biggest music video to debut on the platform to date, with over 101.1 million views in its first 24 hours. The 2021 release, “Butter,” broke that record. Fans also enjoyed behind-the-scenes videos featuring artists like Jimin and V in their colorful outfits. 

Jimin and V joked around behind the scenes of the ‘Dynamite’ music video

In between filming scenes for “Dynamite,” V and Jimin “took the microphone,” as seen during one chaotic Bangtan Bomb. Jimin started singing the lyrics to this new single, even changing some words to include the names of the BTS members.

“Yes, hello. The person who has Kim Taehyung’s phone, please come to the director’s chair. I repeat… Kim Taehyung’s phone,” V said into the microphone, according to a translation. 

After getting his phone back, he thanked the staff and laughed with Jimin. Later, Jimin appeared alongside RM with his microphone still in hand. He repeated the lyrics to “Dynamite,” then he started improvising. 

“Vice Principal [is] calling a student…,” Jimin said. “Kim Taehyung from 12th-grade class. Please come to the teacher’s lounge.”
