With their new single, Black Swan, South Korea’s BTS have delivered an arty video that features exactly zero members of the red-hot K-pop boy band.
But their rabid fans, who are used to the group’s genre-hopping style, don’t seem to be bothered by the break from tradition. The video has received over 20 million views since being released on Friday.
Seven members of Slovenia’s MN Dance Company are the video’s stars, while the seven BTS members’ auto-tuned voices carry the song.

A well-known quote from American modern dancer and choreographer Martha Graham opens the piece, which is apparently a personal reflection on art by the band itself: “A dancer dies twice – once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.”
One fan account tweeted on Friday: “Music has always been their priority since the beginning and along their journey in spreading good vibes. It’s admirable how they manage to relay their inner voice/fear through the medium they value the most, the music itself.”
