K-pop sensation BTS reached over 700 million views on Naver’s V app, Thursday.

The V channel of the boy band also has over 8.87 million followers and in excess of 17.2 billion “hearts.”

The group started putting out videos on the channel two years ago and has released about 500 so far.

As well as its well-received weekly variety show “Run BTS!” and live broadcasts, the group releases music videos and teaser videos for its upcoming albums on the channel.

The boy band recently confirmed that it would perform at this year’s Billboard Music Awards, slated for May 20 in Las Vegas at MGM Grand and to be aired live on NBC.

The real-time broadcasting app will hold a special broadcast in Los Angeles to celebrate the release of the group’s third studio album, “Love Yourself Jeon Tear,” on May 18 at 4 p.m. It will then follow the group to the red carpet event of the music awards on May 20.
