BTS has just launched the music video for their latest track, '2.0', from the album ARIRANG, and it has taken the internet by storm. The vibrant MV pays tribute to the iconic Korean film Oldboy, and fans have been buzzing with excitement since BIGHIT Music released a teaser a day prior to the official launch. Set in a 70s mafia-inspired theme, the video showcases RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook embracing a retro aesthetic that has delighted their fanbase. Notably, V's close friend and popular actor Park Seo-Joon also expressed his enthusiasm for the video.

'2.0' has been described as a unique addition to BTS's discography, with some fans dubbing it a spiritual successor to their earlier track Spinebreaker. Many viewers initially mistook RM for Park Seo-Joon, leading to amusing reactions on social media. Given that the teaser was released on April Fool's Day, some fans speculated that BTS was playing a prank. One fan tweeted, "Help, I thought it was Seojoon as well when I first saw the teaser." Another added, "I genuinely thought it was an April Fool's joke until I saw he really posted this. Taehyung's bestie Seojoon is always so supportive of him and BTS, just like the rest of Wooga. I love my precious Wooga family so much." The Wooga Squad frequently shows their support for V and his projects, creating a warm camaraderie.
