BTS's new "Black Swan" music video is far less confoundingly symbolic than the K-pop group's music video for "ON." The group opt for the more traditionally eye-catching mode of elaborate dance routines, but there's still a lot of cloudy metaphors based on the song's title. For example, at one point the band wears white outfits, then in another scene they've switched to black, a classic swan reference. At another point, Jimin dutifully keeps up the bird theme by sprouting wings. All this is performed in a classy, empty theater. Watch above, and listen to BTS's new album MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 here.
