The new version released in November was remixed by American DJ Steve Aoki and features rapper Desiigner.
Seven-piece boy band BTS -- consisting of Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook -- has been making ripples in the global pop scene. It topped Google searches in the US after performing at the American Music Awards last month, and won the best artist award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong on Friday.
