removing your own barriers and the band reward you for doing
so by exposing you to new worlds and ideas to explore and
grow from. The seven-piece themselves are curious voyagers
and wide-eyed students of Earth, and they share the fruits of
their studies in their songs, music videos, and social media. On
their last album, 2019’s ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’, they
encouraged their fanbase to read up on Carl Jung’s theories of
psychology and geek out on Greek mythology, while, in the
past, songs like ‘Magic Shop’ and 2016 album ‘Wings’ have
sent their followers off into the vast world of literature.
The band have already shared their love of art with their fans
through social media posts from exhibitions, filmed moments
like V’s gallery excursion in the latest season of their travel
reality show Bon Voyage, and in references to the likes of
Basquiat and Anish Kapoor in the video for their latest
comeback trailer, ‘Interlude: Shadow’. Now, Connect, BTS – a
global art project involving 22 artists across five cities that
launched in London today (January 14) – turns those glimpses
into something much bigger that will, as the name suggests,
connect the band’s passion not just with ARMY’s but with other
art lovers across the world with no knowledge of BTS required.
It’s yet another barrier broken down.
