BTS - Dynamite
Info:
- Release Date: August 21, 2020
- Creators: David Stewart, Jessica Agombar
- Video/Lyrics/Subtitles
- Rating: ★★★☆☆
Plot:
- BTS ends up at one of the weirdest strip malls in Los Angeles, consisting of a record store, doughnut shop, ice cream truck, basketball court and daytime disco. They're also awfully judgy of Jungkook eating a doughnut - look, there just isn't that much to do in the strip mall, guys. It's surrounded by freeways! Maybe they're all just jealous that Jungkook can go back home to his cool pad once the day is over.
Notes:
- The start of their all-English trio of songs
- Quiz time: the Dynamite logo shows up at least four times in the video. When and where?
1) the album R.M. pulls out in the record store, 2) on the glass door to the doughnut shop after Jungkook leaves and is ready to bite into the doughnut, 3) on the ice cream truck behind V, 4) with Jimin after he sings "you know I glow up" in front of the record store - Second quiz: how many of the BTS members wear sunglasses in this video?
RM in the opening, J-Hope in the doughnut shop, Jimin dancing in front of the giant doughnut, V in front of the ice cream truck, RM (again - different pair) dancing in front of the disco sign, J-Hope (again - different pair) inside the disco, V (again) at the very end - Alternate quiz: which BTS members never wear sunglasses in the video?
Jungkook, Suga & Jin - Discussion: is this the most food-oriented MV from BTS or am I just hungry? We have Jungkook with milk and a powdered sugar doughnut, V in front of an ice cream truck, and Jimin in front of a giant doughnut. We just need Jin ("Eat Jin"!) chowing down on chili cheese fries or Suga munching an In-n-Out burger to complete the picture.
