BTS’ “SWIM” may have been released already, but the story behind its music video is still giving fans something to talk about. This time, it is the group’s Lisbon adventure that is getting attention, with actress Lili Reinhart opening up about what it was like to film alongside the seven members in Portugal. The music video was filmed in Lisbon, with the Portuguese capital providing much of the visual backdrop. From its historic locations to the coastline, the city gives “SWIM” a cinematic feel that is very different from the usual BTS setting in Seoul or other familiar locations. Reinhart spent four days in Lisbon for the shoot and became part of the video’s story alongside BTS. Lili Reinhart Got the BTS Experience For Reinhart, filming with BTS was clearly not an everyday Hollywood job. The actor revealed that she was approached through a direct message from the group’s creative director. “I was sent a DM by their creative director, and thank God I opened it,” she said. The unexpected message eventually led her to Lisbon, where she worked with all seven BTS members. And while Reinhart has plenty of experience working on major productions, she admitted that sharing the screen with BTS came with its own kind of pressure. “It was a little intimidating. I mean, they’re the biggest band of all time,” she said. That line says a lot about BTS’ global status. Coming from an actor who already has an international profile, Reinhart’s reaction gives the group’s enormous reach a perspective from outside the K-pop world. “It was a little intimidating. I mean, they’re the biggest band of all time.” —Lili Reinhart Even Dancing With BTS Felt Intimidating Reinhart also had one particular concern before filming: dancing next to BTS. “I was like, I’m going to have to turn them down because I can’t dance.” Thankfully, she did not have to suddenly become the eighth member of BTS and learn a full choreography routine. Reinhart explained that her movements were “just kind of more improv-y and free-flowing.” Still, she admitted she felt nervous. “I was able to do it, but I was intimidated,” she added. Lisbon Became Part of BTS Story The Lisbon setting is one of the most memorable parts of “SWIM.” The video uses locations such as the Maritime Museum and the city’s surroundings to create a sense of adventure, while the ocean and ship imagery fit naturally with the song’s concept. For BTS, Lisbon became more than just a filming location. It gave the already-released “SWIM” video a distinct visual identity and allowed the members to tell the story against a European backdrop. And now, Reinhart’s behind-the-scenes memories add another fun layer to it. She arrived in Lisbon to film with BTS and left with a story about being intimidated by “the biggest band of all time.” #LiliReinhart #BTS #ARIRANG #SWIM #LISBON

re thinking about ‘OK, guys, for two, three years, we have been apart … and three years passed, and ARMYs

RM, (Kim Namjoon) the leader of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, has once again demonstrated his dedication to the arts and history. This time, for the donation of 100 million won (consecutively) to support the restoration of a cherished cultural artifact, the Hwarot (활옷), a 19th-century Joseon Dynasty princess bridal gown. This donation not only reflects RM's love for preserving cultural heritage but also sets a remarkable example for his fans and admirers around the world. Thanks to RM and his noble donation the Hwarot was restored by the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation and now exudes its grace in the National Palace Museum of Korea, allowing visitors in Korea and around the world to marvel at its magnificence (from Sept. 15). Read more about the Hwarot here (Korean Heritage). A Dress with Historical Significance The Hwarot (활옷) is no ordinary piece of clothing. It is a historical artifact that carries with it the rich heritage of Korea. Believed to have been worn by many Joseon Dynasty princesses (1392-1910), the dress represents an important part of the nation's cultural legacy, and like any other historical antiquity, it had deteriorated over time and faced the risk of being lost to history forever. According to our trusty source Wikipedia, “the Hwarot is expensive to make so a single gown would be passed down for several generations. Due to years of use, many repairs would need to be made such as using patches of embroidery cut from other gowns.” “Blooming Hwarot: Bridal Robes of the Joseon Royal Court” The National Palace Museum of Korea based in Jongno-gu, Seoul is now holding an exhibition called the “Blooming Hwarot” where visitors are able to see 110 artifacts relating to the bridal gowns and Joseon Dynasty Royal Court including 9 Hwarot dresses. An interesting fact about 1 of the 9 Hwarot dresses that we know for sure is that Princess Bok-On (복온공주/ 1818-1832) wore the Hwarot featured in the picture below. The exhibition will run from September 15th to December 13, 2023, so if you’re in Seoul at that time don’t forget to check it out! You can check out more about the exhibition here (문화유산채널[K-HERITAGE.TV]): YouTube Channel: 문화유산채널[K-HERITAGE.TV] A Beacon of Inspiration & Guardian of Legacy RM's generous donation is not only about monetary value; it's about setting an example for others to follow. His actions serve as a beacon of inspiration, encouraging fans and fellow celebrities to consider how they can contribute to the preservation of their own cultural heritage. In a rapidly changing world, where traditions and artifacts are sometimes forgotten, RM reminds us of the importance of remembering our roots. Thank you, Namjoon! The restoration of the Hwarot is not just the preservation of a historical garment; it's a way of safeguarding a piece of Korea's identity for future generations. Through his donation, RM ensures that this tangible link to the past will continue to exist, serving as a source of inspiration and knowledge for those who come after us. How enchanting would it be to see the Hwarot? Comment below with your thoughts on the restoration and RM’s remarkable donation! #RM #BTS #Korea #Culture #Museum #History #Koreanheritage #princessdress

BTS's Jimin has many solo songs that we can learn Korean from! Today we're going to use the words from Jimin's solo "Promise" in sentences that we can use in our daily lives! "Promise" is a sad song where BTS’s Jimin has shared the emotional story behind his first self-composed. Jimin also spoke more specifically about what had inspired him to write the song. ”If I’m having a hard time, I want to be able to say honestly that I’m having a hard time. But because I can’t do that, I get frustrated watching myself. I think that’s why I ended up writing the song.” ● The song lyrics : Sitting alone, my mind keeps going for away 🎵 혼자 주저앉아 생각만 커져가 🎵 Since when did I gave pain to you, you're going further away 🎵언제부터 넌 날 아프게했던가 너조자도 모르잖아🎵 He talked about the song’s lyrics, explaining : “If you listen to the song, I use the word (You) a lot .. (You) actually means (Me). Because this was originally a song that I wanted to write to myself ” -BTS JIMIN Now from the first sentence we could use some words in other sentences. 🎵 혼자 주저앉아 생각만 커져가 🎵 혼자 : alone Example: ● 저는 혼자만의 시간이 필요해요 I need some time alone. ● 혼자 살다 live alone. 생각: think, remember Example: ● 우산을 어디다 두었는지 생각이 안 난다 I can't remember where I put my umbrella. Back to the second sentence we could also use some words to make other sentences we can use in our daily. 🎵언제부터 넌 날 아프게했던가 너조자도 모르잖아🎵 언제: when Example: ● 서울에는 언제 오셨어요? When did you come to Seoul? 날: day Example: ● 시험 볼 날이 며칠 안 남았다 We only have a few days left before the examination. 모르다: do not know/understand Example: ● 당신은 모르는 것이 없군요 You seem to know everything ● 나는 모르는 일이에요 I don't know anything about it.
