"BTS = ARMY. ARMY =That is what RM, the leader of record-breaking Korean group BTS, said a couple of days ago. Now, cut to April 26, when the septet group -- which also consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook -- surprised fans with a new version of the music video of, only this time, as a dedication to their fans.The new version, titled as, stands as an ode to their fans, who are fondly known as ARMY. The music video also features American artistealongside the seven members. On April 12, the seven-member group released Boy With Luv, the title track of their album Map of the Soul:, which has gone on to break multiple records.The ARMY With Luv version of the music video features the singers sharing playful yet heart-warming moments with each other. While this version sequences never-before-seen clips as well as what seemed to be a cute blooper, it also features a board called "ARMY" (the same board was named "LOVE" in the original version).Apart from an increase in Halsey's visual presence, the audio featured is also of the version included in the album. In fact, the video also includes the complete handshake between the American singer and RM, something fans were looking forward to. The music video ends with the eight artistes screaming "Boy With Luv".BTS have frequently mentioned that this album is a dedication to their fans. A couple of days ago, in a live broadcast projected on VLive, RM said, "How does this connect back to the fans? I thought about it myself... But for me, my persona is RM or BTS. That's my social mask and my self. But the mask and persona itself is ARMY. BTS = ARMY. ARMY = BTS."The rapper further added, "There's something I got through the persona, or the mask. To talk about all the shadows and good things I have gained. I could not help but talk about ARMY. So except for Intro: Persona and the last track Dionysus, from two to six - Boy With Luv, Mikrokosmos, Make It Right, HOME, Jamais Vu -- those tracks are our tribute to ARMY or a serenade to you."
