BTS’s “Main Character” For “SWIM” Video Triggers Majorly Divided Reactions
BTS‘s “main character” for their new music video has sparked majorly divided reactions.
On March 20, ARIRANG was released along with the title track “SWIM.”
The video had a huge cameo from top actress Lili Reinhart.
When the video was shared, and netizens saw how prominent Lili Reinhart was in the video, it sparked mixed reactions.
Many didn’t like how often she appeared in the video, especially compared to the BTS members who have been away as a group for so long, with some even linking it to the past controversy from the trailer about erasing history.
