BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) has posted a teaser video for the music video of the track '2.0' from their 5th full album 'ARIRANG' through the official HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. This music video pays homage to Park Chan-wook's representative work 'Oldboy'. Even from the released parts, the atmosphere of 'Oldboy' can be felt, raising expectations for the main content. The visuals feature a dilapidated corridor and elevator, filled with eerie characters in a narrow hallway. When the elevator doors open on the second floor, members with a contrasting atmosphere appear, dressed in neat suits and holding newspapers, while one holds a hand rake that doesn't match the outfit. The newspaper contains phrases like 'Brand New 2.0 Launch... Comprehensive Strategy Overhaul' and 'Hidden Secret Code of 2.0 Discovered', providing a subtle enjoyment related to the song title '2.0'. As the hand holding the newspaper slowly lowers, RM's face appears with sunglasses, ending the video. Notably, RM's outfit evokes memories of the movie 'Oldboy'. '2.0' expresses BTS's current state as they enter a new phase after change and growth, showcasing their confident demeanor through the lyrics 'You know how we do' over an impressive hip-hop and trap rhythm. Recently, the song entered Billboard's HOT 100 chart at 50th place as announced on April 4. BTS has dominated the American Billboard charts with their 5th full album 'ARIRANG', released on the 20th of last month. The new album and title track 'SWIM' have simultaneously topped the main album chart 'Billboard 200' and the main song chart 'HOT 100'. Notably, 13 out of the 14 tracks on the album have made it onto the HOT 100.
