BTS Declares a “Hormone War” in New Music Video

Idol rap group BTS released the music video for their latest track, “Hormone War,” through their agency’s official YouTube channel.

“Hormone War” is the main track from the group’s first full-length studio album, entitled “Dark & Wild.” The song is about the raging hormones a hot-blooded young man feels when he sees a girl who is perfect front and back, and top to bottom. 

A spokesperson for the group explained that fans could expect a slightly different concept for the new release, saying, “It will be distinct from ‘Danger [the group’s most recent hit, also taken from the same album]’ and it will be more exciting. You can expect a lot from BTS’ new-look release.”

The group will begin promoting “Hormone War” on the October 23 episode of the Mnet music show “M!Countdown.”

NO ONE is after your spot Sungjae! Calm down!

4. Kangin throwing shade.
