BTS Drops ‘2.0’ Music Video Teaser Featuring RM as a Boss

RM protects the family. In a cinematic new teaser for BTS‘ “2.0,” the band leader appears to channel a serious boss from the 1970s.

Posted Tuesday (March 31), the 30-second preview opens with a noisy group of men crowding a dim hallway when an elevator opens its doors. A hush falls over the crowd as they see the well-dressed people standing inside — BTS, presumably, although viewers never see anyone’s face aside from RM.

The camera then locks in on the leader, rocking a slick ’70s hairstyle and aviators as he stares intimidatingly at the outsiders.

“Kim Namjoon is on next level … Totally mafia’s vibe,” one ARMY wrote in the comments on YouTube, while another person wrote, “RM is looking like a typical Villain from K drama.”

“2.0” is one of 14 tracks — and presumably the next single — from BTS’ new album, ARIRANG. The teaser comes just one day after lead single “SWIM” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album topped the Billboard 200 after earning 641,000 equivalent album units in its first week, according to Luminate.

Also on Tuesday, BTS shared a live performance video for “SWIM,” aptly singing the track at an indoor pool while still wearing tailored suits, which have become an aesthetic staple in the ARIRANG album era. In April, the Bangtan Boys will embark on a global stadium tour in support of the LP, which comes six years after they last dropped a full-length (2020’s Be, which also topped the U.S. albums chart).
