The group just unveiled a gripping music video teaser for “2.0,” a standout track from their fifth full-length album, ARIRANG. Instantly capturing fans’ attention, the stunning visual aesthetic serves as a direct homage to a masterpiece of Korean cinema: Oldboy.
A Gritty Cinematic Homage
Director Park Chan Wook’s iconic film Oldboy deeply influences the teaser’s gritty atmosphere.

Armed with cryptic props like newspapers, BTS delivers a masterful visual storytelling experience.
Hip-Hop Rhythms and Billboard Triumphs

The Unstoppable ARIRANG Era
