Aug 27, 2018 | 6:30 AM

BTS has released their brand-new music video for their catchy song “Idol.” The South Korean pop troupe debuted the visual on Friday, the same day as their hot new album Love Yourself: Answer, aka the last piece of their Love Yourself trilogy.

The video features the guys – J-Hope, RM, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, V, and Suga – showing off their flawless choreography and fun hair colors in front of a bright, colorful, totally trippy background.

They also reference traditional Korean culture, such as wearing a hanbok and saying “ursoo.”

After releasing the “Idol” video, the group now holds the record for most-viewed video within 24 hours on YouTube, dethroning Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do.”

According to ET Online, “Idol” brought in over 56 million YouTube views in the first 24 hours of its release. Swift’s video, which fdebuted during the 2017 Video Music Awards, clocked in at just over 43 millions views in a day.

Nicki Minaj, who is featured on a remixed version of “Idol,” showed her support for the boys with a sweet Instagram post reading, “US iTunes All Genres Chart they did NOT come to play wit y’all . My version of #Idol with #BTS is out now! Congrats to them on a great new album. I’m honored to be a part of it. S/O to #KOREA “

BTS’ Love Yourself tour kicked off Saturday in Seoul, South Korea. The boys will then head to North America with concert stops in Los Angeles, Oakland, Fort Worth, Hamilton, Newark, Chicago and New York City, before traveling to Europe and Asia to complete the world tour.
