Group BTS (BTS) has made a comeback with its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG."
BTS released its new song at 1 p.m. on the 20th and released the music video for its title song "SWIM." The music video is set in the vast sea of Lisbon, Portugal, and is filmed between large ships and elaborate sets, boasting an overwhelming scale and visual beauty.
The music video begins on a huge ship sailing through endless seas. A woman in the video has a hard time, shaking and frustrating. At this time, the BTS appears as a helper leading the ship, holding the helm and looking for a way forward by raising the anchor. The seven members stand by her side in their own way and give her silent support as they stare. Finally, the woman breaks the necklace that was like a bridle and smiles brightly. It sensibly expresses the moment of excitement, tension, and challenge ahead of a new journey.
Hollywood actor Lili Reinhart appeared to enhance the play's immersion with delicate emotional lines. World-renowned director Tanu Muino captured a megaphone and completed a movie-like mise-en-scène.
Through Big Hit Music, the members said, "You can see the BTS that has grown up subtly." In addition, it was a video with a story, so I left a message that it would be nice if you could immerse yourself in a movie like you were watching a movie. He also told us about the weather-related behind-the-scenes stories. "Unfortunately, not a single day had a good weather. There was a scene taken in the rain, but I remember being happy that it came out pretty," he said.
The new album "Arirang" is an album that contains the identity of BTS and universal emotions that many people can sympathize with. Chairman Bang Si-hyuk took over the general production and improved the musical perfection. The title song "SWIM" is an alternative pop genre song that sings about the attitude of moving forward without stopping even in the waves of life. He released his will to swim calmly at his own speed with "love for life."
Meanwhile, BTS will hold "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" at 8 p.m. on the 21st around Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. It will perform a new song, including the title song. Then, on the 23rd (local time), it will collaborate with Spotify, a global audio and sound source streaming platform, to hold a "Spotify X BTS: SWIMSIDE" event in New York, USA. From the 25th to the 26th, he will appear on the popular NBC program "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to continue the global comeback fever.
