The music video for '2.0' included in BTS's 5th full album 'ARIRANG' surpassed 100 million views on YouTube around 3:15 PM on the 26th. The music video for '2.0' features a sensory direction characterized by a witty homage to Park Chan-wook's representative work, the movie 'Oldboy.' The confrontation between rough characters filling an old corridor and BTS in suits riding an elevator provides an immersive experience. Particularly, the military dance showcasing performances in various ruins draws attention, expressing a new phase of 'BTS 2.0.' The members' acting and makeup add fun, and the direction reflects the solid performance and the song's message. '2.0' is a song that expresses BTS's current state at a turning point after undergoing change and growth with a fresh sense. The impressive irregular rhythm is layered with the lyrics 'You know how we do,' demonstrating a relaxed and confident attitude. The harmony of different voices over a restrained sound adds a heavy presence. Mike Will Made It, a hip-hop master who has collaborated with global pop stars like Kendrick Lamar, is credited. '2.0' entered the US Billboard's main song chart 'HOT 100' at 50th place (April 4 issue) and showed the ability to chart for four consecutive weeks. Despite being an album track, it ranked on Billboard's main chart, showcasing BTS's astonishing music power. BTS's 5th full album 'ARIRANG,' released in March, and the title track 'SWIM' both topped Billboard's main album chart 'Billboard 200' and 'HOT 100.' Notably, 13 out of the 14 songs included in the album ranked simultaneously on 'HOT 100,' demonstrating BTS's overwhelming influence in the global music market.
