Instead of showing the members, BTS' new music and music video featured Asian celebrities.
Korean fans all over the world are excited to see the new music collaborated by BTS and Steve Aoki for the English song titled "Waste It On Me" which was posted on Youtube on November 19.
The new music video featured Ross Butler, the "Crazy Rich Asian's Ken Jeong and Jimmy O. Yang, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Vincent Rogriduez III, model Devon Aoki and "The Gifted" Jamie Chung and many more.
"It's bigger than music and we hope to show other Asians they are also part of the global commercial musical landscape. I feel so deeply about the Asian footprint in the music culture that I wanted the music video to have an entirely Asian cast and director," Steve Aoki said when asked why they decide to have an all-Asian cast in the music video.
"It's so cool to be a part of the number one song...in the WORLD," Ken Jeong said. "It's even cooler that I'm working with my friends, a stellar all Asian-American crew in front of and behind the camera."
"I'm thrilled that I got a chance to be a part of this music video," Chung added. "We are continuing the celebration of Asian Americans."
"When Waste it On Me came out and from the get-go had so much support from around the world that's when I realized that this song represents more than just me and bts. It's bigger than music and we hope to show other Asians they are also a part of the global commercial musical landscape. Because of how i felt about the Asian footprint in music culture i wanted to make the music video to reflect an entirely Asian cast with an Asian director. The music video tells the story of waste it on me in an incredibly funny witty and clever manner. Please watch it and hope u enjoy our music video.

Thanks to all the amazing actors and filmmakers who made this happen!)," Steve Aoki posted on his Instagram account with the photos of some of the casts of the music video.
