BTS shortly released another version of the "IDOL" music video, featuring iconic American female rapper Nicki Minaj. The second music video also has garnered nearly 80 million YouTube views as of Thursday.

It is the band's fifth music video to have surpassed the 500 million mark, including "DNA," with more than 700 million hits, "Fire" and "Fake Love."

Upon its release last year, "IDOL" debuted at 11th on the highly competitive Billboard Hot 100 single chart and its album topped the Billboard 200 album chart. (Yonhap)
