If you don’t know this dance,
You’ve been living under a rock.
Here, let me show you how to dance to the 2019 anthem.
Can you believe this dance? He’s only moving his arms and legs. It’s a dance that anyone can do. We can’t believe BTS has a dance simple for all of us. It’s the highlight of their “Boy With Luv” single.
They went for something slightly different from their usual take. They tried their shot at punk pop. From Jimin’s dance in the intro to the highlight of the choreography, it’s a dance that has no barriers. Maybe that’s why the song broke records here and there.
▶ #1 on Billboard 200 for a total of three times
▶ #1 on UK’s Official Charts.
▶ #1 for eighty six countries on the iTunes album chart.
▶ In the World’s Guinness Book Record for breaking three records.
▶ 100 most influential list. A first for a boy band.
▶ #3 on Spotify’s Global top 200 chart.
▶500 million streams on Spotify.
▶ 100 million views for “Boy With Luv” music video.
▶ Persona album sold 2 million in the first week of its release.
BTS are filled with news about records. They’re almost always associated with the word. In just thirty-seven hours and thirty-seven minutes upon the release of the “Boy With Luv” music video, they racked up a hundred million views. This may come to no surprise for a few. Afterall, it is BTS’s eighteenth video to surpass the hundred million mark.
Dispatch picked out a few key points at the set of “Boy With Luv.” The first thing we noticed was expressive V. He was very expressive and had loads of tricks and charms under his sleeve.
“Lights, camera, action!" (V)
"V was born different." (V)
"Hypnosis time"
It’s time for the king of intros. Jimin ditched his cute side for a bit to show off maturity. He went from a youthful, cute boy to a grown, mature man.

Suga was bursting with energy. He was constantly fooling around with the rest of the boys. The usually pensive Suga gave us praiseworthy, cute pictures.
"Army♡"
"I love you!"
"Keep me stored in your camera roll! ~"
If the dance, we mentioned above is simple enough to do, this is one that many will find, difficult. Jungkook’s signature wave dance is filled with groove and attitude. He’s also nicknamed the “Genius of waves” because he does it so well.
"Move that upper body."
"Check that stage presence."
He also put up with all the silliness of the younger members.
"This is why he's the golden, youngest member. He may be young, but he's the secret weapon."
We can’t leave J-Hope out when dancing is the topic of discussion. This time, he added his own twist to it. The facial expressions authentic to J-hope added a depth of flavor to the environment of the music video. He was rich with expressions and gestures.

"Excuse me Taehyung, but what are you doing?" (J-Hope)
“I think I might fall!"
"BTS, as usual. Funny boys full of laughter."
Lastly, the beloved leader. RM took on the role as the mood maker in this set too. He worked harder for the sake of the members.
"The leader is charming."
"Our standards are our ARMY."
"The best picture"
BTS's next big step towards the industry is the Billboards Music Awards. It's their third time being invited. They are set to perform with international star, Halsey. "Dispatch" will have the heavily anticipated news and pictures ready for you all soon.
