BTS's Live TV Debut Of 'Black Swan' Will Leave You Breathless

Did you miss BTS's live TV debut of their new single, "Black Swan?" Do you wish to just watch it again right after experiencing the magic once it came on? In either event, we've got you covered. They were the musical visitors last night (January 28) on The Late Late Show with James Corden and they brought an intense and spine-tingling performance of the new single from their forthcoming album, Map Of The Soul: 7. Sliding across the stage with solemn faces, BTS's gliding choreography told a story of bleakness, wonder, and acceptance.


"Black Swan" is a pensive and sincere variety of seven diary entries set to a unsettling, R & B like-beat. Each member of BTS deals with the heart-pounding realization that music just doesn't have the same shine to it that it did any time while they were a little greener. The hard part comes soon after this lightbulb goes off in their heads. Sadness starts to tug at their shoulder blades and rub their backs, calling for them to sink into a pool of despair. As a substitute opposed to answering this call, they just acknowledge it, leaving a glimmer of hope that they can find the key to coming out of this funk.


BTS's Corden performance recreated the bleak atmosphere of the song as a dark and unsettling forest. The order then took an English-translated lyric from J-Hope in "Black Swan"'s third verse serious: "Let my own feet carry me." They pranced around the stage without any shoes or socks, making use of sharp movements and wave-like motions to ward off the plague-like malaise that threatened to surround them. While in the five-minute efficiency, members entered and exited the stage on a rotating basis, constantly keeping the audience, and viewers at house, mesmerized. If their smiles at the end of the efficiency are any symptom, then happiness can be noticed in the way that they dance and the fans that scream their names loud enough to break glass windows.


Recently, BTS took the stage at the 62nd Grammy Awards for "Old Town Road" and then RM, J-Hope, and Suga rapped "Seoul Town Road," the rendition of Lil Nas X's breakout track made by RM.


Map Of The Soul: 7  is set to come out on February 21. Shortly soon after its release, in March, BTS are heading on a grand 18-date tour that's set to take them across North America, Europe, South Korea, and Japan.
