Permission to Dance
VCRs
Nods to “Permission to Dance”
In the first VCR, Jung Kook holds a “WE DON’T NEED PERMISSION” sign. In the second one, the boys find a card with “CODE NAME : PTD” on it; the lyrics are also written on the wall.
Lastly, in the fourth VCR, BTS goes to PTD general store. Then, the confrontation with the silent crowd is basically a reenactment of the MV: there’s the balloon, the choreography, and the cameo of Goya, the son of Lumpens’ director (who probably directed the VCR too).
Nods to “Butter”
In the opening VCR, the boys stand in front of a height chart like in the MV and in the second concept photo of the Butter album. They also have mugshots but the numbers are different this time:
RM: 180924
BTS’ first speech at the UN for the UNICEF Launch Event At 73rd Session Of The UN General Assembly
Jin: 101101
lol lol in beeper code (cr.)
V: 200901
BTS” first #1 on the Billboard Hot100 with “Dynamite”
j-hope: 141017
First date of BTS 2014 LIVE TRILOGY EPISODE II. THE RED BULLET
SUGA: 130613
BTS’ debut
Jimin: 1365244
I love you 24 hours, 365 days a year (cr.), a phrase the boys discovered in episode 136 of Run BTS!. The final 4 sounds like love in Korean. Jimin is the only one to have 7 digits.
Jung Kook: 190601
BTS’ first performance at Wembley Stadium in London for the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF’
And the hand brushing their hair back is a nod to the choreography.
In the second VCR, RM, V, and Jung Kook receive a box from Butter pizza.
Nods to other songs
In the teaser, RM puts his lollipop in a glass, like at the beginning of “RUN” MV.
The first VCR happens in an interrogation room, reminding of “Mic Drop” MV. Excepted that instead of being surrounded by mics, they’re handcuffed.
In the third VCR, SUGA presses a button that provokes colorful explosions identical to the ones in Dynamite” MV.
The second and third VCR are the development of the teaser. RM, V, and Jung Kook receive a pizza box with paint powder inside. Jin, SUGA, j-hope and Jimin use it on a neighbor complaining about the noise, making him join them. The colorful explosions happening after SUGA presses the button probably have the same effect. In the fourth VCR, the shop’s facade is covered in paint and “Ink refill” is written on the window. Thus the paint/colors seem like a metaphor for the boys’ joy and freedom (as in, they don’t need permission to have fun).
The last VCR is a summary of BTS’ speech and performance of “Permission to Dance” at the UN.
