The BTS ARMY received quite the treat yesterday when the boys teased their comeback by dropping the Epiphany trailer.
Following on from Euphoria by Jungkook, Serendipity by Jimin and Singularity sung by V, Jin is the one who goes it alone in his emotional ballad, Epiphany.
The MV is far from what we usually expect from BTS projects – that is, bright colours, killer dance routines and seven idols on screen – but that doesnt mean it didnt impress.
The emotional and artistic video switches from black and white to colour throughout, seeing Jin sitting alone in an apartment before closing the curtains, looking at himself in a mirror and heading outside.
Jin – sporting striking orange hair – is then caught in a rainstorm, with lots of dramatic close-ups on his face in place to keep the ARMY happy.
Jin, wearing a plaid suit and a floral shirt, returns to his apartment, where the cycle begins again in a loop.

The MV ends with Jin on a beach beside a car, with RM, J-Hope, Suga, V, Jimin and Jungkook flickering into view.
The lyrics to Epiphany are all about the importance of loving yourself, with Jin singing: Im the one I should love in this world/Shining me, the precious soul of mine/I finally realise so I love me/Not so perfect but so beautiful/Im the one I should love.
After Epiphany dropped, it instantly began trending on Twitter worldwide, while the video is now at number four on YouTubes trending chart.
Less than 24 hours after its release, it has been viewed 10.6 million times on Big Hits YouTube channel.
Epiphany is the teaser ahead of the release of BTSs new album Love Yourself: Answer.
Answer will be the conclusion to the bands Love Yourself series, which includes Wonder, Her and Tear, and is a repackaged version of Tear with seven new tracks.
More: K-Pop
The album will be released on 24 August – the day before the K-pop group begin their world tour in Seoul.
The completely sold-out Love Yourself tour has added a date in New Yorks Citi Field, making BTS the first Korean act to headline a stadium date in the US.
