Title: "Black Swan itself," World exuberate in BTS Jimin's elegant dancing line raised to an art form 

BTS performed with their new song "Black Swan" on 28th (EST) for the first time on CBS' popular late-night talk show "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

​

On that day, BTS' main dancer Jimin released his alluring sexiness, perfectly recreating Blackswan's wingbeats with a soft, elegant gesture and got attention from ARMYs all around the world.

 

When the song was pre-released, the choreography of "Black Swan" was unveiled along with an art film video by the Slovenian modern dance team MN Dance Company, raising sense of expectancy for the new stage. And especially their fans flutter with Jimin, the only modern dancer among BTS members. (annofation: the choreography in the art film and the choreoraphy of BTS members have a little difference and the reporter might not know the fact but anyway we expected Jimin's modern dance when we saw the art film, being excited.) ​

 

On the first stage of BTS’ "Blackswan," which is even deeper than the art film, all of its members appeared barefoot in all-black styling, and embroidered on the stage reminiscent of a blue lake with motifs of the black forest.

​

The main character of the stage that stood out was member Jimin, who majored in modern dance.

 

The ecstatic figure, which completed the wingbeats of one Blackswan with every vivid detail of his hand, even in his fingertips, absolutely captivated fans around the world, making their explosive reaction at the same time it was released.

 

In Jimin’s solo performance, he led the stage by raising his immersion to the fullest with his dramatic expression even in that fast beat. We could also get a glimpse of the basis of dance embodied in him by watching his skill, dancing with his feet sweeping on the floor in the perfect form of 'flex'.

 

Also, Jimin's beautiful and pitiful acting skills which portrays the symbolism of the stage with every fiber of his body makes us feel like watching a film or dance performance, his dancing line which he made by blending his specialties, poppin dance and modern dance, really shows what a peculiar charm the harmony of the opposite genres creates.

 

Jimin, who majored in modern dance and also took ballet lessons, made it easy to perform ballet motions on this stage. (annofation: In the dance department of Jimin's high school, Busan High school of arts, teaches Korean dance, modern dance and ballet. Students in the dance performance choose one as their majors but should also study the other dances too. You can check this fact on its website

One of the ballet’s important movements, "relev'e" is a difficult movements because it requires the strength of his ankle, foot and knee, but Jimin presented luxurious details with correct posture from the head to tiptoes during the choreography.

 

Also, Jimin’s pure and unique vocal, which seemed to be making a spell on the melody of "Blackswan," a song with a dark sensibility that expressed inner fear that one could no longer be touched in music with the trap beat and oriental tunes of guitars, added the sense of mystery to the song by drawing more immersion.

 

On that day, BTS' Jimin occupied real-time trending in U.S. after a U.S. terrestrial broadcast(annofation: the Corden Show) and also ascended the trendings all over the world, pouring out more than 1 million references about his performance. And people made endless hot reactions like "Jimin dances as if there is no gravity," "Jimin is a performer of his body(annofation: he controls every part of his body just as the pianist does to the piano) and he draws emotions with his steps," "He is a work of art that no one can mimic," "He is marvelous" in the BTS' "Blackswan" performance released on the "James Corden Show" channel, which topped YouTube's popular video on the same day.

​

Meanwhile, BTS’ fourth full-length album "Map of the Sol: 7," which includes "Black Swan," is set to be released on Feb. 21.
