Their English single 'Butter'Â also broke multiple records, including having the biggest Spotify debut and being the most viewed music video within 24 hours of its release.
"Despite their young age, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook have left a mark in the present cultural landscape, breaking free from the limitations of their home market and of a language, South Korean, that remains widely unknown to the international public," shared the Guinness World Records in an article announcing the news.Â
"This constant strive for excellence and relatability—paired to an upbeat sound and jaw-dropping choreographies—is the secret ingredient of what is arguably the hit band of the moment."
