RM about 2.0:
โ"There are really people who just pray in their home, Please, BTS, just go fall down. Just break apart and collapse.โ So weโre thinking about โOK, guys, for two, three years, we have been apart and three years passed, and there are ARMYs waiting for us, the world waiting for us, so you guys had your little fun."
What elements from Oldboy did BTS reference in their โ2.0โ music video?
The corridor fight scene of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), Lee Woo-jinโs (Yoo Ji-tae) penthouse and elevator, along with various props, stand out the most. In particular, the layout of Woo-jinโs penthouse, the Barcelona chair, and the wave artwork symbolizing Hapcheon Damโwhere his sister met her deathโadd a refined layer of detail.
This Oldboy homage goes beyond mere visual styling. After passing through the corridor that embodies a blind struggle for survival, what awaits is not a fairy-tale ending, but Woo-jinโs spaceโwhere stripped-down truth is confronted head-on. It suggests a shift in psychology: closing the first act of blindly pushing forward, and, in the aftermath of shattered illusions, facing oneโs inner core with a quieter, more composed gaze.
This subtle yet chilling reversal breaks inertia and opens a second chapterโone that confronts a deeper truth. Could this be the real allure of BTSโs โ2.0โ?
