BTS' festive 'one-shot' video for 'Life Goes On' is room after room of holiday knitwear

K-pop monarchs BTS dropped their comforting new anthem, "Life Goes On," last week along with their latest album BE, which nods to a year of isolation, uncertainty, and loneliness for many during the pandemic.

Though they've already released a delightfully pyjama-clad music video for the track, BTS hit The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday with a special holiday version of the video.

Edited to look like one continuous shot (it's not, but it looks cool), the band duck in and out of one long hallway of rooms, starting in less populated, cheer-less spaces, but eventually coming together for the holidays, opening presents around the Christmas tree, enjoying some casual indoor snow, and hanging about in festive cardigans and sweaters.

It's the Birdman-style holiday video we needed this week.
