BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) has once again acquired a music video with 800 million views. The music video for 'Save ME', a track from their special album '花様年華 Young Forever' released in May 2016, surpassed 800 million views on YouTube around 2:02 AM on the 1st. 'Save ME' becomes BTS's 10th music video to reach 800 million views. Despite being a track from an album released about 9 years and 9 months ago, it continues to be loved steadily. This is a significant testament to BTS's unchanging global influence and fan support over time. 'Save ME' is a song that combines elements of tropical house and future bass, highlighting BTS's emotional vocals and refreshing sound. The lyrics 'Reach out your hand, save me' convey the poignant emotions of the song more vividly against a lyrical rhythm. The music video is shot using a one-take technique, allowing complete focus on the performance of the seven members. BTS singing against a backdrop of low-hanging clouds and fierce winds further enhances the lyrical atmosphere of the song. BTS will release their 5th full album 'ARIRANG' on March 20, which includes 14 tracks infused with the group's identity, nostalgia, and deep love as universal emotions.
