"Working with BTS has been an extraordinary experience. They're just amazing, beautiful human beings... It's so cool to go back in time and think about what it was like back then and see where they've gone now - really becoming one of the biggest bands in music. Period."

As a thank you to the countless fans who supported the collaboration, Aoki released a megamix featuring tracks like 'Dynamite,' 'Butter,' his remixes of 'Mic Drop' and 'Blueberry Eyes' by MAX featuring SUGA, as well as his own track 'Waste It On Me' featuring BTS, and BTS' 'The Truth Untold,' which features Aoki.

"It's been amazing seeing all the dance moves, the covers, the tributes. You guys went above and beyond the creativity to really pump up this record and make it your own," Aoki adds.

"They've built this incredible bridge for music in Asia, music that's been going on for a long time. They continue to break boundaries and break borders, and I'm so excited to where they're gonna continue to go."

The latest feat makes the official music video the GRAMMY-nominated group's fourth fastest music video to reach the milestone, following 'DNA,' 'Boy With Luv,' and 'Dynamite'.
