On March 17, BTS dropped the first music video teaser for their title track ‘SWIM.’ Featuring a mysterious and cinematic atmosphere, the short teaser left fans excited and speculating over the upcoming music video.
However, not all fans were happy with the teaser. It quickly became a trending topic across social media, as many netizens expressed disappointment over how short the teaser was. Some also criticized the absence of BTS themselves in the teaser, stating they hoped the members would at least be included in the upcoming second MV teaser.
“Give us more! Let’s go! Is that really it?”
“Way too short… ㅠ”
“Seriously? They released a teaser that’s barely anything! ㅜ”
“It’s too short! ㅜ”
“Make it longer!”
“Give us part 2, quickly!”
“Is it supposed to be like this? They barely showed us anything”
“It’s just too short..”
“I was hoping that silhouette from behind would be a BTS member, but I guess not, lol. If this is the first teaser, does that mean they’ll appear in the second one?”
“Isn’t it just a little TOO short?”
“They always give us such short teasers every time”
“It’s not like there’s a whole week left until the comeback—there are only a few days left now—so are they really going to keep hiding what it sounds like until the very last minute? At this point, even the Big Hit logo is seriously annoying me”
“Not a single shot of BTS appeared during those 17 seconds ㅠ”
“It ends almost right away..”
“Aren’t they at least supposed to show us SOMETHING?”
On the other hand, some netizens were happy with the ‘SWIM’ MV teaser, and complimented the cinematic atmosphere:
“Wow, now this is a comeback!
“Whoa – I’m shakingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
“Ooo, I’m so curious now”“As expected, it’s extremely high-quality”
“I hope the song has a vibe similar to ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears'”
“Wow, look at that visual quality! It looks just like a designer brand commercial”
“I can’t wait to hear what the song sounds like. I’m really looking forward to it!”
