BTS has unveiled behind-the-scenes footage of their 4-day journey in filming their record-breaking single "Dynamite."
On August 26, BTS revealed a "Dynamite" MV shooting sketch that gives a glimpse of their hard work in making the MV. The boyband explains their individual characters and sets to the camera and reveals how they came up with their choreography in the scene.
The behind-the-scenes footage shows BTS member Suga playing basketball for the first time in nine years and other members teasing Jungkook over his confusion about the camera direction. While J-Hope hilariously complains when V makes their unit choreography hard.
On the other hand, BTS member Jimin helps Jin come up with the perfect disco move for his solo shot. And finally, BTS leader RM leads the group in signing out the chorus of their "Nananana" rhythm.
BTS's new single "Dynamite," tells us how the COVID-19 lockdown reinforced their love of music. It reflects on a global scale and offers comfort, support, and a vehicle to process our lockdown experience.
BTS might not reference the world's current state, but the group focuses on the good times, such as "Bring a friend/Join the crowd" and is born out of the same desire to help soothe their fans.
BTS revealed early on why they changed their format of writing songs in Korean as what the group was used to. The boyband didn't intend to write an English song because they didn't want to change their identity. However, this change was unexpected just as the whole world also didn't expect the COVID-19 to hit the world.
BTS leader RM said that who would have thought about COVID-19 being this big? No group meetings, no karaokes, no concerts. RM continued that "we never thought to sing this song in English fully. The thought just came to us during the process of making our album."
