On Friday, September 6, American rapper and singer Megan released her collaborative song with BTS' RM, Neva Play. In addition to the song, an accompanying animated music video was also released, further exciting fans about the recent collaboration.
During RM's verse in the song, the idol is introduced in the music video through a plot where he's held hostage by a gang. As he fights them to escape, Megan Thee Stallion comes in a car to pick him up. Both artists, as animated characters, are seen escaping the place in the said car.
While Megan takes the passenger seat, RM is seen driving the car, and fans couldn't help but hilariously react to the same. The BTS member has previously stated several times that he hasn't gotten a driver's license yet, and his fear of driving has pushed him away from the motivation to get one.

Here are a few reactions to the car scene in the Neva Play music video:
"He has a virtual driver's license now."
"Sister Megan...you're brave. Our Jun doesn't have a driver's license yet," said a fan on X.
"THAT'S A REAL "RIDE OR DIE" TYPE OF FRIENDSHIP," said a netizen.
