BTS MV and Oldboy
BTS have once again captured global attention with their music video for 2.0, a track from their album ARIRANG. The visually striking video is packed with cinematic references, most notably a clear homage to the cult Korean film Oldboy, while also weaving in deeper symbolic elements tied to the group’s evolving identity.

One of the most talked-about moments in the video is its recreation of Oldboy’s iconic hallway sequence. The MV opens with the members stepping out of an elevator into a narrow corridor, facing a crowd mirroring the film’s famous one-take fight scene. However, instead of violence, BTS replaces combat with synchronized choreography, turning confrontation into performance.
