Consider 2017, for example. Attending one of the biggest awards in America, the Billboard Music Awards, after releasing the album of Love Yourself: Her, BTS broke records for entering the Billboard charts with such a high ranking. They’ve also been invited to be guests on some popular American shows, such as Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and made their debut at the American Music Awards. This year, BTS was the first Korean artist or group that attended the Grammy Awards. What an impressive achievement. One of the songs from Love Yourself: Her, DNA, became a huge hit not only in Korea but around the world, earning the group even more awards. Today we’re going to talk about BTS in their golden era, DNA. Without any further do, let’s get into the topic.
BTS: DNA Era
DNA is a BTS song from the album Love Yourself: Her, which was released back in 2017. Like their previous album, Wings, LY: Her has 4 versions, and each of the albums was called L,O,V, and E. For the music video, BTS used a bright theme with lot of color in it, unlike their past music videos, they also used a lot of CGI (Computer Generated Imaginary) for some effects for the background of the DNA music video. Not only that, their style from head to toe was also different for each member, especially Taehyung’s hair! Take a look at their teasers and music video, below:
