Kim Namjoon of BTS dropped the official teaser for his upcoming track LOST! on May 22, 2024. The teaser is a 19-second glimpse of the song, which shows four individuals dressed in office formals and standing beneath a blinking ceiling light. The backdrop is set to be an office area that showcases shades of grey, white, and a glimmer of ash green—a color palette that matches well with the official poster.
The teaser ends with Namjoon's verse, "God damn lost," and the screen dissolves into the release date and time. Before RM's voice utters the words, the little film exudes a weird and eerie atmosphere, which further peaked fans' excitement.
The BTS frontman, who is currently serving in the military, has an album scheduled for release on May 24, 2024. Right Place, Wrong Person is the South Korean musician's second solo act after he released Indigo in December 2022.
The upcoming album has 11 unique tracks, which comprise Nuts, Groins, Right Place, Wrong Person, LOST!, out of love, Domodachi (feat. Little Simz), ?(Interlude), Heaven, Around the world in a day (Feat. Moses Sumney), ㅠㅠ(Credit Roll), and the pre-release track Come back to me.
