K-pop Twitter can't tell which way BTS' Jimin is facing in this new video clip
There's nothing the internet loves more than a good visual illusion combined with some mildly interesting conspiracy theories.
Maybe that's not entirely true, but K-pop Twitter was certainly hyped up earlier this morning trying to uncover the mystery behind a new teaser video from BTS. In the short clip for their upcoming song "Boy With Luv" featuring Halsey, a short part of the single plays while the boys simultaneously take a turn.
Fans were stumped trying to figure out which direction Jimin (second from the left) faces at the end of the video.

As they attempt to dissect the trailer for any hidden meanings, as fans do, Twitter has also been left questioning whether this optical illusion could be intentional. Could this possibly play a role in the song's narrative? Is Jimin, in fact, the aforementioned "Boy With Luv"?

It seems like we've got another dress debate on our hands, folks. Even if fans can't conclusively decide on #FrontorBack, K-pop Twitter has put their stanvestigative hats on and are ready to crack this case wide open. Or at least wait until the full MV drops, whichever comes first.
