When Bangtan Boys (BTS) released a surprise short video titled “Wings” last night (Sunday, 4th September) at 11pm, it got fans into a frenzy.
But they were also puzzled.
However, their questions have been answered, as just this morning (Monday, 5th September), Big Hit Entertainment revealed that “Wings” is the title of BTS’ yet-to-be released 2nd full studio album.
The company confirmed the news by retweeting a news report detailing the comeback details of BTS on their official Twitter.
While there isn’t a set date for the release yet, Big Hit confirmed that the album will reach fans by the end of the year. The report also revealed that the boys will be releasing continuous short films throughout the rest of the year until the release of their album.
As the 1st video chronicled member Jungkook’s struggle with himself, fans are speculating that a total of 7 clips will be released, each detailing the story of a different member, namely, Rap Monster, Jin, V, Suga, J-Hope, and Jimin.
Watch the mysterious short film, titled “Begin”, here:
UPDATE (8th September, 12:15pm):
Big Hit Entertainment has dropped 2 more teaser short films for BTS’ upcoming comeback.
The first clip, released on 6th September (Tuesday), featured Jimin in what looked like a hospital. It was titled “Lie” while the 3rd clip “Stigma”, released yesterday (Wednesday, 7th September) night, portrayed member V being interrogated and trying to run away from his past.
All 3 videos released so far references the novel “Demian” by Hermann Hesse, but V’s video, particularly, seemed to be a continuation of BTS’ “The Most Beautiful Moment In Life” concept.
