Forbidden Fruits star Lili Reinhart joined forces with BTS for the group’s new music video for “Swim.”
The lead single off the K-pop supergroup’s long-awaited fifth studio album, Arirang, “Swim” is a synth-heavy track that is much more mellow than most of the album. The music video starts with Reinhart looking at ship in a museum as the sounds of waves usher in the song. The video then cuts to that very real ship, manned by the seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — sporting sailor friendly fits.
Filmed in Lisbon, Reinhart and BTS shot the video practically on an actual ship with “purpose built studio sets” to make it appear more cinematic, according to a release. The music video was directed by Tanu Muino, who directed member Jungkook’s solo music video, “Standing Next to You.”

Moving forward is a consistent theme throughout Arirang, but nowhere is it stronger than on “Swim.” The song “centers on the resolve to keep swimming onward through life’s many tides,” according to a release. It continues, “Rather than resisting the current, the song frames the choice to move ahead at one’s own pace as an expression of love for life itself.”
