In the video on the official Instagram account of BTS, the Like Crazy singer was initially spotted grooving to an unknown song with three back dancers. After concluding his choreography on the unreleased song, he took the phone in his hand and revealed Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung and Jimin subsequently walked side by side while keeping the phone's camera towards the mirror so that fans could see him. As they took nascent steps, Taehyung, who was donning a black trench coat, brown t-shirt paired with jeans, and white shoes, went in front of the mirror and posed for a photo, making a V pose.
Later, the Set Me Free Pt.2 singer put the phone on the floor, and the duo posed for a selfie together, bowing and bidding farewell with lots of giggles.
Seeing their video, fans became emotional as Taehyung and Jimin enlisted for mandatory military service on December 11 and 12, respectively. After watching them together giggling and playing around, fans miss them more and wish to see them as soon as possible. They also discovered the duo filmed the video on their last Weverse live on December 5, 2023.
