SEVENTEEN's 'MAESTRO' Music Video Surpasses 100 Million Views on YouTube

SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) has achieved a remarkable milestone as their 'MAESTRO' music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube on the morning of the 26th.

The title track 'MAESTRO' from SEVENTEEN's best album '17 IS RIGHT HERE' is a dance R&B song characterized by its powerful piano sound. It conveys the message of becoming the best by leading and conducting our world together with diverse individuals.

The music video, which explores the concept of who the true maestro is in a world where anything can be created with AI, amplifies the grandeur of the song with SEVENTEEN's unique charisma and energy.

Upon its release in April last year, the song dominated the top ranks of major music sites like Melon, Genie, and Bugs. It also enjoyed international success, charting for four consecutive weeks on Billboard's 'Global 200' and 'Global Excl. US'. In April, it surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, marking SEVENTEEN's 14th song to achieve this milestone.

SEVENTEEN now boasts a total of eight music videos with over 100 million views. Their videos for 'Don't Wanna Cry' and 'Super' have exceeded 200 million views, while 'MAESTRO', 'Clap', 'Very NICE', 'Left & Right', 'HOT', and 'Rock with you' have all surpassed the 100 million mark.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN's fifth studio album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY', released last month, has received an enthusiastic response. The album set a record for the highest first-week sales of any K-pop album released this year, with 2.52 million copies sold. It also debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, tying their highest-ever position, and remained on the chart for three consecutive weeks.
