Heavy online traffic to watch BTS’ “Idol” music video resulted in a brief crash of the YouTube page.

For the first few seconds, those who rushed to view BTS’ new music video were greeted by “Internal Server Error” with a block of undecipherable codes instead.

The initial glitches attest to the soaring amount of incoming traffic from all over the world.

The music video, which is for the lead track of the newly released album “Love Yourself: Answer,” is expected to break many YouTube records amid the surging popularity of the seven-piece act.
