On December 26, 2022, BTS' official account released behind-the-scenes footage of Jungkook's music video shoot for Dreamers in Qatar. In the footage, fans are shown the shoot's entire journey and the collaboration of the maknae with a big team of dancers on a sunny day.
At the beginning of the video, fans see the crew adjusting Jungkook's makeup and in the next scene, the golden maknae is seen taking notes for the shoot. One of the dance scenes didn't make it into the video's final version because the Virgo in him was not satisfied enough with it.
What fans loved the most was not just Jeon Jung-kook's professionalism, but also the perfectionist in him, making him work harder in every scene. He said that since he wasn't completely satisfied with the takes they did earlier, he asked them to do "one more take" until he was satisfied with the outcome.
The shoot further proceeds very smoothly with a lot more enthusiasm from the whole crew and hard work continues for them even in the scorching heat.
Some of the uncut footage work done by Jungkook was ARMYs favorite
Some fans were worried but proud of the BTS member's dedication to work even in the heat. Netizens also thanked the staff for all the cooling fans and for working beside him in such temperatures.
People loved seeing Jungkook's reaction and fascination towards the majestic bird. Fans also praised the co-singer, Fahad Al Kubaisi, for welcoming their golden maknae with open arms and working together for his football World Cup song.
However, fans were further impressed by the fact that JK didn't forget about them and thanked them for being there to support him. Expressing gratitude, he said:
"I'm so thankful to the Qatari ARMY that came to cheer for me and I'd also like to thank all the other ARMY that heard the news and are cheering for me from afar. I got the energy to focus on the shoot thanks to you."
