BTS is back with a new music video starring Lili Reinhart.
The K-pop group — comprised of members RM, Jin, SUGA, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook — made its official return with the new album ARIRANG on Friday, March 20 and released the music video for lead single "SWIM."
The music video, filmed in Lisbon and directed by Tanu Muino, opens with Reinhart checking a compass as she walks through a museum with various ship models on display. As the song begins, the scene shifts to show all members of BTS working to sail a large ship.

Reinhart wakes up on the ship and joins the group members, who work together to keep the ship moving across the ocean. The Forbidden Fruits actress dances around a dining area of the ship before pausing in an emotional moment as a tear rolls down her face.
Toward the end of the clip, Reinhart stands at the edge of the ship and overlooks the ocean before pulling off a necklace that reads "swim" and smiling — in what appears to be a cliffhanger in the video's plot.

A mellow trap-pop song, "SWIM" features lyrics about feeling ready to fall in love with a romantic partner: "Swim, swim / Water falling off your skin / Swim, swim / I could spend a lifetime watching you / Swim, swim / This is how it all begins."
BTS spoke about the song and how it fits in the context of ARIRANG in a statement. "A song that mirrors life itself. I hope it resonates with many people as they move through each day, taking each moment as it comes, splashing along, and continuing to swim forward," began the group.

"The more you listen, the warmer it feels, so I hope it becomes a source of strength as people go through their lives," continued BTS. "Also, just like the folk song 'Arirang,' which has been passed from mouth to mouth and stayed with people through generations, I hope 'SWIM' will remain close to people's hearts for a long time to come."
ARIRANG marks BTS' first album since 2022's Proof anthology. The new record also comes after the band members each completed their mandatory military service in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
