Any good song needs a good music video to accompany it. It helps you make that visual to verbal connection and K-Pop music videos are no exception. In fact K-Pop music videos are the most extravagant I have ever seen. Each one feels like an installment in a movie, with some of the most intricate storylines that have you guessing at what the underlying meaning could be. Here’s where BTS really flourishes above all other K-Pop groups though. Almost all of their videos are all installments in one huge movie with an underlying storyline throughout. ARMY (BTS’ fans) are constantly analyzing the music videos to discover as many hidden aspects to aid them in developing theories.

BTS’ first music video to ever be released was entitled No More Dream and was simply a dance number in costumes. All of their videos fall in into 2 categories, part of the storyline, or a really nice dance number.

One of the most recognizable BTS dance videos is entitled DNA and as I write this has garnered over 566 million views despite having been released just over a year ago.

The BTS music video that helped BTS reach their international stardom was “Blood Sweat and Tears,” off of their album, “Wings.” At the time Blood Sweat and Tears became the most watched K-Pop music video in 24 hours with 6.34 million views. Currently BTS still holds the record with 74.6 million views on their April 12th video, Boy With Luv (featuring Halsey)
