The music video for BTS’ “Save Me” surpassed 700 million views on YouTube on Monday, according to Big Hit Music on Tuesday.

It is the band’s 11th music video to reach the milestone. It was touted as a “top-notch music video” as the artists “perform their intense choreography … in a one-take video which solidifies how strong and cohesive this group is with their performances,” commented American media outlet Fuse TV when it was unveiled.

“Save Me” is from the special album “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever” that was released in May 2016.

Meanwhile, Lego announced that it will collaborate with the septet on a “BTS Dynamite” set. It will replicate scenes from the music video including blocks for a donut shop, basketball court and stage, as well as miniature figures of the bandmates. The set becomes available March 1.
