If you've not heard BTS' very first English-language single, "Waste It on Me" featuring Steve Aoki, where have you been?!

The catchy single deserved a music video, and that's exactly what we got! Recently, BTS and Steve dropped the "Waste It on Me" video and everyone has been loving the all Asian-American cast it features!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

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. (Photographed just some of the cast and crew from the video. Thanks to all the amazing actors and filmmakers who made this happen!)

Familiar faces like Ken Jeong, Ross Butler, Devon Aoki and Jamie Chung give life to the video along with other notable celebrities like Ben Baller, Leonardo Nam, Vincent Rodriguez, Jimmy Yang, Jessica Lu, Jared Eng and Tiffany Ma.

In a recent statement, BTS shared, "We're happy for this meaningful and heart-felt collaboration. The song is just so amazing, we really enjoyed working on it. It's our first song that is entirely in English. It was refreshing and fun to record the song. We hope this would be a good present for our fans."

Speaking about the music video, Steve said in a press release: "When I found out that ‘Waste It On Me' was the number one song in the world on Apple Music I realized that this track represented 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. I feel so deeply about the Asian footprint in music culture that I wanted the music video to have an entirely Asian cast and director. The video tells the story of ‘Waste It On Me' in an incredibly funny, witty, and clever manner."

Ken who starred in the video directed by Joe Hahn also added, "I absolutely loved working on this video. It's so cool to be a part of the number one song...in the WORLD. It's even cooler that I'm working with my friends, a stellar all Asian-American crew in front of and behind the camera."
