BTS 2.0 music video out
BTS 2.0 opens with a powerful ode to Oldboy’s iconic one-take hallway fight scene. The septet - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook - dressed in suits and leather jackets, exit an elevator and indulge in a fight with a group of opponents in a dark corridor using the same continuous shot technique.
The BTS members choose not to fight with a hammer like the protagonist in the film, but showcase their dance skills and music to take on their opponents.
Their “2.0” moment comes when the K-pop boy band returns to the elevator and changes into new, modern outfits.
