\n\tAfter returning from their four-year hiatus, BTS is making sure that ARMY is being fed. The K-pop superstars dropped a new music video for a second ARIRANG song in only two weeks on Wednesday (April 1), and they\u2019re drawing inspiration from a classic film for the \u201c2.0\u201d visual.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cinematic music video is inspired by South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook\u2019s 2003 film Oldboy<\/a>. The visual begins with the septet, dressed in sharp suits and leather jackets, exiting an elevator and encountering a group of thugs in a dark, grungy corridor. Rather than fighting with a hammer like the protagonist in the film, BTS\u2019 RM, Jung Kook, V, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin and Jin employ their epic dance skills and music to ward off their opponents.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe video then transitions to a different dark hallway where the band continues its choreographed number, this time without the presence of the thugs. From the corridors, the septet ends up in a dirty bathroom where they dance in front of the mirrors and sing the chorus.<\/p>\n

\n\tThen, to make it a true \u201c2.0\u201d moment, the K-pop stars return to the elevator from whence they came and quickly change into new, modern outfits \u2014 calling back to the song\u2019s lyrics, \u201cWe on that brand new\u201d \u2014 and close out the video in a high-rise building setting.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe band first teased the new video on Tuesday (March 31) with a 30-second preview. The latest visual comes just days after the album and lead single \u201cSWIM\u201d debuted at No. 1 on the\u00a0Billboard 200<\/a> and Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n
