Swim

BTS's comeback song, 'Swim', gets a nautical music video courtesy of director Tanu Muiño. Dressed like they're ready to sail the seven seas and play the Strait of Hormuz by ear, M, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook are joined by 'Riverdale' and 'Forbidden Fruits' actress Lili Reinhart, who becomes the envy of BTS fans the world over.

It's rather easy to get on BTS's boat, to be fair—all you need to do is visit a maritime museum, stand next to a model ship, then think really hard. That's how Reinhart ends up on the good ship Arirang (named after the South Korean boy band's tenth album), and keeps travel sickness at bay with a cathartic dance routine. The band are too busy with ropes, telescopes, and telegraphs to chip in, though.

When Jung Kook sings, "Nights like these, I just wanna get lost/Right here with the moon and the sharks," we half expected Reinhart and the gang to battle a great white. Instead she ends up back at the museum with a sodden memento of her voyage. Now let's wait and see if this inspires BTS fans to join the Republic of Korea Navy or not.
