The global power of BTS shows zero signs of slowing down as the legendary K-pop group adds yet another colossal achievement to their record-breaking career. In the early hours of October 14, 2026, the music video for “Hooligan”—one of the standout B-side tracks from their critically acclaimed comeback album “ARIRANG”—officially surpassed the 100 million view mark on YouTube, triggering a massive wave of celebration across the worldwide ARMY fandom.

Initially unveiled to the public on April 8 at midnight KST, the vibrant visual treatment for “Hooligan” captured immediate fan attention with its hypnotic choreography and distinct stylistic direction. Reaching the nine-figure mark at approximately 6:41 a.m. KST on October 14, the video accomplished this landmark feat in just over six months and six days.

The swift velocity at which a non-title track achieved 100 million views underscores the immense streaming power and enduring longevity of the group’s “ARIRANG” era.

“Hooligan” now officially marks the third music video originating from the “ARIRANG” project to join YouTube’s prestigious 100 Million Views Club.

As congratulations pour in from music industry analysts and global supporters alike, fans are flocking back to YouTube to stream the “Hooligan” music video once more in honor of the achievement.
