4. The inspiration for Suga’s doorways
In the music video for “Interlude: Shadow,” Suga raps in this unusual corridor.
It was possibly inspired by British Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor‘s installation art called “Svayambh”. In Sanskrit, this means “self-made” or “auto-generated.”
5. O!RUL8,2?
The “Interlude: Shadow” MV also features several references to BTS’s 2013 EP, O!RUL8,2?.
6. “Black Swan” vs Black Swan
In the “Black Swan” MV, wings unfurl from Jimin‘s back. This is one of several scenes that seems to pay homage to Black Swan, a psychological horror film about the dark side of ballet.

11. The “Make It Right” sign
A sign in the “Dynamite” MV includes a tiny reference to BTS’s song “Make It Right”.
It’s difficult to see at first, but it appears in the background while Suga is at the basketball court.
12. Jin’s body double
In “Film Out” MV, Jin’s face is never shown when he is in the same room as the rest of his members.
In this room, he is only shown from behind and, in one scene, he is played by a body double. Some fans were quick to notice the difference between the actor’s physique and Jin’s.
