According to their agency Big Hit Music, the video hit the milestone early Wednesday morning, about nine months after surpassing 2 billion views in September last year.
The explosive hit single, which was BTS' first all-English-language song, became their first to achieve the feat.
The upbeat disco-pop track with its message of hope and encouragement during the coronavirus pandemic, quickly became a global hit soon after its release in August 2020.
The song also made history by debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first song by a K-pop act to top the singles chart. It then spent three weeks at No. 1 and remained on the chart for a record 32 weeks.
The latest YouTube milestone is a testament to the septet's enduring global appeal, with the song remaining popular among fans around the world nearly six years after its release.
