On Jan. 17, 2020, this award-winning K-pop group released a music video that made some fans even more excited for their next album, Map of the Soul: 7.

Hereās what we know about this K-pop group and their latest music, created for Map of the Soul: 7.

Until then, the group released a āmap,ā containing the release schedule for music videos like āInterlude: Shadowā and āBlack Swan.ā These songs contain pretty heavy and deep meanings, especially in their music videos.
The group, BTS, is releasing a few songs ahead of āMap of the Soul: 7ā
Step aside, āBoy With Luv,ā thereās a new YouTube video ready to break records. Days after the Sugaās featured comeback trailer, āInterlude: Shadow,ā BTS dropped the first song from Map of the Soul: 7, entitled āBlack Swan.ā This video, released on Jan. 17, 2020, functions as an art film, featuring MN Dance Company.
Within a few days, the art film for āBlack Swanā jumped to one of the top trending spots on YouTube, earning over 17 million plays and 2 million likes from BTS fans. The group also released a video of just the song on YouTube, with the album cover art. However, some fans wonder if BTS will make an official music video to accompany thing song.
BTS will perform āBlack Swanā live on āThe Late Late Show with James Cordenā
Presumably, this art film will act as the music video for āBlack Swan.ā Additionally, BTS released āBlack Swanā just a few hours after the website for āConnect, BTSā launched. With 22 art installations in over 5 cities, this project aims to āredefine the relationships between art and music, the material and immaterial, artists and their audiences, artists and artists, theory and practice.ā
There may not be another music video for āBlack Swan.ā However, fans can hear (and see) more of āBlack Swan,ā thanks to the groupās upcoming appearances. According to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, āThe group will take part in iHeartRadio LIVE with BTS on Jan. 27. The event is an exclusive interview where they will discuss their upcoming album with 102.7 KIIS FMās JoJo Wright.ā
This takes place only one day after the 2020 Grammy Awards and will presumably include some impressive choreography from the boys. However, the first time that BTS will perform āBlack Swanā live is on The Late Late Show with James Corden Jan. 28. Some fans also hope that BTS could do their own version of āCarpool Karaokeā or āCrosswalk: The Musical,ā however, itās unclear what this television performance will bring.
Music by BTS, including the recently-released song, āBlack Swan,ā is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms. Map of the Soul: 7 premieres on Feb. 21, 2020.
