You can watch the MV through ‘Incognito Mode’ on Chrome (this applies to other secret modes on various browsers) to help boost views
If you put the MV in a playlist and continually rewatch it, make sure to clear your history/cookies every once in a while so that each view will count.

5. Tweeting BEFORE, DURING and AFTER Music Shows
Tweet and Retweet #몬스타엑스, #신속히 and #히어로
How to Format your tweets:
-The hashtags must be in between your words not at the end of your sentence.
-The hashtags cannot be in same position it is in a previous tweet
-No punctuations or emojis or Korean words like “>>, ㅋㅋ,ㅎㅎ” etc
Example: Our #몬스타엑스 oppas are #히어로 s for us Monbebes
*Tweets getting a minimum of 10 retweets equal 1 SNS vote for music shows
6. Using search engines, look up MONSTA X
