The dance troupe who brought the BTS video for Black Swan to life has explained the meaning behind their ‘art film’ and how it links to the K-Pop group’s comeback with new album Map Of The Soul: 7.

The video, released last week, features members of the MN Dance Company, co-founded by Michal Rynia and Nastja Bremec Rynia, performing to the BTS track.

It features one man repeatedly trying to break free from other dancers dressed completely in black, who also act as the ‘wings’ of a swan.

Reacting to the film, the group’s members said they thought it was ‘new and unique’, and that it accurately ‘expresses the emotions’ of Black Swan.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Michal, from Poland, explained BTS’ agency Big Hit Entertainment asked them to get involved.

‘We don’t know how they found us, but we assume through our Youtube channel. Big Hit Entertainment contacted us in October to ask if we would like to do a choreography for BTS’ new single,’ he said.

‘We had to prepare the choreography and sent it to them for a review. They liked our creation and next thing we knew we were already in LA recording the art film in December.

‘We really like the concept of the song. All the artists at some point in their careers can relate to it.

‘As an artist aiming for perfection, you always try harder and harder to pursue perfection. You can easily get caught by fears, but you can overcome them by staying truthful to yourself.’

Michal and partner and co-founder Nastja, from Slovenia, explained that when making the choreography they were inspired by a quote by legendary dancer Martha Graham: ‘A dancer dies twice – once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful’. They wanted to express this feeling ‘through the body in nonverbal communication’.

The dancers in the video are all students of the MN Dance Company, with many of them – like lead performer Luka Vodopivec – taking their first ever dance classes with them.

‘We thought that they are ready for this experience and that would be a great opportunity for them,’ Michal added.

While BTS were not directly involved with making the film, they tried to link it with the group’s Connect, BTS project they launched earlier this month.

Nastja said: ‘We became fans of their work. We love their innovative approach, positive energy and the messages they are communicating through their music.

‘We also respect their artistry and the idea that they are introducing different art forms to a wide range of audiences.’

‘We think it’s very positive that K-Pop is reaching more audiences around the world with a fusion of different sounds and visual performances. K-Pop songs are breaking the borders of language and cultural barriers. Its bringing joy, energy and power to young generations.’

There are currently no plans to work with the boy group again at the moment, but Michal and Nastja would like to create a routine for the members themselves.

‘It would be great to see them moving in our style. We think they would look great in it because they are amazing movers,’ Michal said.

Until they return to the world of K-Pop, the MN Dance Company is going on tour in Slovenia, the Netherlands and Hungary with their latest project DE-SET, to celebrate the troupe’s 10th anniversary.

Having been together for so long (the pair even share a phone) how do they keep a good working relationship?

‘We are fellow travellers in dance and life. Connected by love and the same passion for dance and creativity,’ said Nastja.

‘But for us, it works like that and we could not imagine it otherwise. We fulfill each other. And yes, sometimes we have small arguments, but this is all a part of a relationship and life.’
