BTS: Kim Namjoon’s song Closer is now featured in the South Korean film Decision to Leave.
Closer was originally released as a part of BTS member Kim Namjoon’s solo album Indigo which is due out in 2022.
Kim Namjoon, better known as RM, leader of the iconic K-pop group BTS, has released a special music video for fans. His track Closer, a collaboration with Paul Blanco and Mahalia, was released as a theme song for the romance-mystery South Korean film, Decision to Leave.
The rapper shared a snippet of the melodious track on his Instagram handle. He captioned the post, “We’ve made some lo-fi arrangements to go along with the video! It’s an honor to be a part of a film I love.” He also tagged director Park Chan-wook, English electronic duo Honne, and music artists Paul Blanco and Mahalia.
Closer is an R&B-focused track that talks about moving on and stretching relationships. The song was originally released as a part of his 2022 solo album Indigo. The genius of the song has beautifully captured the agony of relationships that are almost impossible to attain. Perhaps it was the lyrics of these beautiful songs and RM’s own appreciation for the award-winning film that made this collaboration a reality.
The BTS member previously revealed on tvN’s Mysterious Human variety dictionary-all-in-the-job show how much he loved the film. South Korean web portal, Daum quoted the rapper as saying, “I liked this movie because it didn’t have a definite conclusion and didn’t feel forced. The metaphor of the movie touched me.”
The MV was also released on BTS’ YouTube channel known as BangtanTV. It captured the essence of the entire film perfectly, without giving away much. It’s the perfect amount to make ARMY members curious about the movie their favorite cast has loved so much.
The award-winning film Decision to Leave begins with a man falling off a mountain peak in South Korea. It is not known whether he jumped or was pushed. When Detective Hae-joon arrives on the scene, his suspicions turn to Seo-rae, the victim’s wife. Yet, upon a second glance, he finds that there is more to this case than it meets the eye. Hae-joon finds herself caught in a web of deceit and desire. The romantic thriller perfectly showcases how passion is taken to extreme limits. It won Park Chan-wook the Best Director award at Cannes, being hailed as his ‘Hitchcockian masterwork’. The film stars South Korean actor Park Hae-il and Chinese actress Tang Wei.
