ARMY, are you ready? This week, BTS will go live with its latest album, and the mega group has shared its first-look at their next music video. Taking to Youtube, a teaser for "IDOL" has been released, and it seems like the K-pop act has another hit on its hand.

As you can see above, the teaser for "IDOL" is a short one. The single, which will be featured on Love Yourself: Answer, seems to be a lively techno track. The teaser itself dips into a bright color palate, and it houses some interesting iconography.

Each member of BTS is shown in turn, but it is their look that fans are buzzing about. As you can see, each singer is seen wearing contemporary takes on traditional Korean garments. In fact, the members are shown in updated hanboks, a piece of clothing dating back to the 3rd century BCE before it was revived during the Joseon dynasty.

In a fashionable turn, BTS' new music video will bring the past into the present by melding two different eras into one. The group, which has become famous for its progressive concepts, is poised to put their own twist on Korean history as "IDOL" pays homage to BTS' heritage. And, as always, the K-pop act will add a little swag to the venture; When you have guys like Suga and RM in the squad, it's impossible to avoid that kind of makeover.
