BTS fans, collectively called ARMYs, will get to recreate the popular music video immerse themselves in “Dynamite” through brick-building.
The LEGO Ideas BTS Dynamite set, which was designed by a Lego fan, comprises a total of 749 pieces of the brand’s signature bricks. It includes several toy versions of scenes that are also found in the “Dynamite” music video.
These include the ice cream truck in front of V, the colorful basketball court, the disco place and the donut shop.

Looking back at ‘Dynamite’
“Dynamite” earned a lot of accolades for BTS and South Korea.
It was the first song by a Korean musical act to top the US-based Billboard Hot 100 on September 2020. It also stayed on top for more than a month, thus beating other singles released by popular Western artists and acts.
In the same year, the song was nominated for the best pop group performance field, thus marking the first for a Korean boy group and for BTS.
