On November 15, 2024, BTS' Kim Seok-jin dropped the official music video for Running Wild, which is the lead single from his latest solo album, Happy. The Grammy-nominated musician held a live broadcast titled "Jin Comeback Live: What is 'Happy'?" on Weverse on the same day of his album release.
He played the Running Wild music video during his livestream and revealed several behind-the-scenes details regarding its filming. He added that originally he had decided to die at the end of the Running Wild storyline, as the MV shows a world that is getting struck by a meteorite. However, he changed his mind after thinking that his fans would get upset with the ending.
Fans were moved by the BTS idol's thoughtful gesture. A fan jokingly thanked him for "not pulling a Taehyung" on them, referencing how BTS' Taehyung always dies at the end of his projects like Love wins all, FRI(END)S, HYYH storyline, and more. One fan tweeted:

"Kim Taehyung are you listening??" another fan commented.
