South Korean boy band BTS released official dance-practice videos for the songs “Hooligan” and “2.0” on April 14, 2024 [1].

The release provides fans with a detailed view of the choreography for B-side tracks from the group's album, ARIRANG. Such videos are a staple of K-pop promotion, allowing global audiences to study the precise movements of the performers.

The videos were posted to the group's official YouTube channel, BANGTANTV [2]. By sharing these sketches, the group aims to promote “Hooligan” and offer a closer look at the technical execution of the songs' routines [1].

The footage features all seven members of the group [1]. The practice sessions showcase the synchronized movements and individual styling associated with the ARIRANG project, a visual accompaniment to the audio release of the album.

BTS has frequently used the BANGTANTV platform to bridge the gap between polished music videos and the raw effort of rehearsal. These specific videos for “Hooligan” and “2.0” follow the group's established pattern of releasing practice content to maintain engagement with their international fanbase [2].

Because the videos focus on the dance-practice environment, they strip away the cinematic distractions of a standard music video. This allows the viewer to focus on the seven members [1], and the complexity of the choreography created for the album's tracks.
