It’s been 24 hours since the K-pop septet released their second English song, and it is already winning hearts and breaking records. Butter broke the group’s own record for the biggest music video Premiere on YouTube.

With this, Butter has only broken its own group’s Dynamite’s record which was released in August 2020 and registered over 3 million peak concurrents.
