glitteryvThere had been wishes that, after all of the ups and downs of Chapter 2's earlier part (IYKYK), BTS would drop a 5th entry in the Cypher series.
Although that didn't come to be, that's not to say that BTS decided to skip a diss track for ARIRANG. Here comes "2.0", a hip-hop song that might come across as repetitive or having extremely simplistic lyrics. In truth, this is 2026!BTS saying their piece after reuniting and surveying the Kpop landscape. I will dive a bit more when I do the album post (which will probably happen some time next week). So, for now, I can say that I clicked with this song from the get.
And now there's a GLORIOUS MV for it.
Trigger Warnings: lots of shaky cam, fast cuts, and heap of flashing lights throughout the video.
It's taken almost no time for it to become a fan fave. Everything from the many references to other works, to the visuals (both as old!BTS and as present time!BTS), the dancing, and the SWAGGER have been some of the key points that ppl can't stop squeeing abt. I love it to bits.
