BTS DROPS SURPRISE MV OF BLACK SWAN

The boys of BTS made a surprise drop yesterday without much notice. They released their official music video to their single "Black Swan" and it was another masterful display of artistry. And clearly the boys just don't want their Armys to breathe.

BTS previously released an art film for “Black Swan” performed by MN Dance Company, a contemporary, fusion, and urban dance collective based in Slovenia. The new music video relies heavily on its contemporary roots showing the exquisite dancing skills of the boys highlighted by the effortless display of dancing talent of Jimin. The MV also features the Jungian shadow concept, the underlying theme behind the new album.

We see the boys trek through a seemingly dystopian, post-apocalyptic world that has the feels of "Hunger Games", "Maze Runner" and "Divergent". This is not a regular music video but a visual spectacle and masterpiece. It shows how the story of overcoming difficulties and hardships and staying together during those times.

BTS hits it big anew. The much anticipated released of "On", the carrier single to their brand new album Map of The Soul: 7 made waves in major streaming platforms all over the world. The lead single “On” was released through a special “Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima” through which the South Korean superstars are backed by 30 dancers and 12 marching band members.

And Armys all over the globe went into high pitched screams seeing the 7 talented and hot guys.

The music video in almost its entirety shows the members of BTS appear in white and black looks, acting almost as shadows of themselves save for a few flashes of color, such as Jin's light blue jacket and other members' hair colors adding a pop of color against the backdrop of a beige bridge in front of the bright blue sky. The “Come Prima” video will be followed next week by the release of the official music video for “ON” on Feb. 28.

BTS RELEASES MAP OF THE SOUL TOUR DATES

2020 is gearing up to be another banner year for BTS and the announcement of their upcoming Map of The Soul tour has been finally unveiled. The confirmed dates which starts on April 11 of this year in Seoul includes tour stops in the US, Europe and Japan.

It was however a sad thing as no Southeast Asian leg is present as of the moment with no Philippines, Singapore or Thailand leg present. Also notably absent is any stop in Hongkong which historically loves the boys through the years. Out of all the dates which finishes on September 1-2 in the Tokyo Dome, there are two unconfirmed dates (June 13 and 14) and the Filipino Armys are hoping this would be in the Philippines. Here's crossing our fingers.

BTS RELEASES BLACK SWAN SINGLE AND ART FILM

All I could say is wow. The hottest boy band of this era has dropped their new single "Black Swan"  the first single from its new album — Map of the Soul: 7. Aside from releasing this single, Armys and all the rest of the world was treated into an artistic spectacle with the accompanying art film release. The song's artistic intricacies are impressive on its own, but with the accompanying art film, it was a masterful piece for the ages. Compelling and masterful are just a few words to describe the emotionally driven video in which the MN Dance Company from Slovenia interprets the song through lavish choreography with what appears to be an old shopping mall as backdrop location.

The video also opened with a quote from Martha Graham about a dancer's mortality - "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful. BTS's "Black Swan" film nicely reflects the narrative of the song — about how one's artist relationship with their work is and how such is sustained. 

BTS IS BACK WITH SHADOW COMEBACK TRAILER

BTS is back and gives us a powerful comeback trailer for their upcoming album "Map of the Soul: 7". They give us "Shadow" which features Suga. The single deals with topics including his ambition and the difficulties that come with fame.

Fans quickly came in flocks and the video has already amassed millions of views and is gearing towards a wonderful start for BTS's 2020. Their latest album comes out on February 21 and in the next few weeks, we'll be getting more from their newest offering and we are all excited.
