In the “Blood Sweat & Tears” video, the seven members (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) are spotted in a Renaissance-style art museum and deliver stunning choreography. Symbolism is at the center, with themes contrasting purity and temptation. By the end, viewers are surprised when V is revealed with torn-off angel wings, and Jin almost kisses a mysterious statue.
Suga, RM, and J-Hope teamed up to co-write the lyrics, creating one of the group’s signature tracks. Meanwhile, fans are on edge, waiting for the discharge of the remaining BTS members who are still in the military: Suga, RM, Jungkook, V, and Jimin. They’re all expected to be duty-free by June this year.
