BTS Shares First Look at New Album: “BE (Deluxe Edition)”

Following the mammoth success of their latest hit single, ‘Dynamite’, BTS are primed for superstardom at an unprecedented level with their upcoming album. And, kickstarting the excitement for their new era in pop music was the release of a simple group photograph that lit up the internet late last night. 

What “BE” Looks Like

The seven member group shared the first look at the November 20th release, a full length studio album called “BE (Deluxe Edition)”. The photograph released features all seven members lounging on sofas and the floor of a blue hued room.

In addition, the members pose, surrounded by instruments – guitars, amplifiers, and such. Further, fans were especially struck by the fact that the group boasted uniform black hair in this comeback teaser. And, BTS, known for their hard-hitting visual concepts, changed it up this time around (perhaps a result of the COVID-19 pandemic). This time, they showed up in nightwear, luxurious robes and silk pajamas. 

BTS Are Busy “Be”es

BTS is slated to make their highly anticipated comeback with “BE (Deluxe Edition)” on the 20th of November. This album will serve as the follow up to the February, 2002 release – a studio album titled “Map of the Soul: 7”. In addition, the album will feature their Hot 100 hit ‘Dynamite’ along with various other new tracks. 

Further, ‘Dynamite’ has scored its eighth week in the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100. This week, it comes in at No. 5, its lowest peak yet. Previously, the all-English track notched 3 weeks and No. 1 (non-consecutive), and 4 weeks at No. 2. In addition, the music video for the track hit 500 million views earlier today, becoming the fastest Korean music video to do so.
