BIGHIT Entertainment in 2021 re-branded as HYBE Corporation as they were expanding their business from just making music. The music label was renamed HYBE Labels and includes BIGHIT MUSIC, the original company.

It also includes various other companies that were taken over by HYBE Corporation, such as PLEDIS Entertainment, KOZ Entertainment, ADOR, BELIFT LAB, and Source Music.

HYBE Corporation is what it is today, majorly because of BTS. So it is unsurprising that the group is the most profitable for the company.

BTS is in huge demand and one way that can be seen is through the views on their music videos. The top 10 most-viewed HYBE label music videos consist only of BTS songs.

In tenth place is BTS' 2017 song Not Today from their album You Never Walk Alone. The video is cinematic and the CGI used fits perfectly into the music video, and doesn't look out of place in the least.

It is a catchy and up-beat song that fans seem to thoroughly enjoy seeing as to how it currently has over 534 million views on the HYBE Labels' channel. The addition of many back-up dancers makes the choreography look more synchornized and grand, adding to the magnificence of the music video.


9) Save ME

The 2016 EDM track Save ME comes in ninth place with the music video uploaded to HYBE Label's YouTube channel and accumulating over 657 million views. All that BTS was given during the shooting of this music video was an open field, and yet the group managed to deliver a masterpiece.

It was a one-take music video with no cut-scenes, making the shooting all the more difficult as even one mistake would have them re-shoot the whole thing. Even in the cold and windy weather, they managed to give the most emotional performance ever.


8) Butter

The song took over the summer of 2021, topping charts all around the world. The group even got nominated for their second Grammy Award in the Top Duo/Group Performance category with this song.


7) Blood Sweat & Tears

The 2016 song Blood Sweat & Tears is BTS' claim to fame as it exploded in popularity not only in South Korea but also internationally. Heavily inspired by Herman Hesse's Demian, the music video looks just as sinful and sensuous as the song sounds.

Throughout the music video, various biblical imagery can be seen and the concept of the entire song deals with toeing the line between sinning and resisting.


6) FAKE LOVE

FAKE LOVE music video, released in 2018, comes in sixth place with over 1.09 billion views. The music video is a cinematic masterpiece that highlights plot scenes from the Bangtan Universe (BU).

The music video is extremely esthetic and the boys showcase their acting skills to the fullest.


5) IDOL

Released in 2018, the IDOL music video has over 1.1 billion views, putting it in fifth place. The excessive use of CGI and flashy clothes adds to the vibrance of the music video.

The song is unapologetically Korean, with lyrics having phrases from Hangeul and using traditional Korean instruments in the song as well. This was BTS' way of celebrating their heritage and culture.

BTS are unashamed to be who they are and they proved that with the release of the song. There is also a remix version of the song featuring Nicki Minaj.


4) MIC Drop

In first place is BTS' 2019 smash-hit song Boy With Luv (feat. Halsey), which brought back the 'cute' concept amongst boygroups in the K-pop industry.
