Story highlights
Popular K-Pop boy band BTS has just dropped the single 'Black Swan', that shows impressive choreography by seven dancers.
On Friday, K-Pop band BTS dropped their most anticipated video 'Black Swan' in the form of an art film featuring the MN Dance Company. The single is from their new album 'Map of the Soul: 7'
The popular boy band dropped the music video that is five minutes long and shows impressive choreography by seven dancers, who take the spotlight with no appearance by the band members themselves.
The video opens with a quote from Martha Graham, an inspiration for the song- “A dancer dies twice – once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.”
As soon as the video was dropped, it led to fan frenzy on social media and the song soon became the trending video within minutes of its release. Also read: BTS singer Jungkook covers Korean classic
