On March 5, 2025, BTS's j-hope unveiled a 29-second teaser for his upcoming single Sweet Dreams, featuring Grammy-winning artist Miguel. The brief preview, characterized by unique visuals, ignited a flurry of fan theories and speculations across the internet.
The teaser starts with j-hope slightly turning in bed as gentle guitar music plays. Many have pointed out the presence of two sets of drink glasses and two pairs of outerwear, suggesting a possible involvement of a second person in the narrative. Additionally, some have observed a ring on j-hope's ring finger, fueling speculations about a romantic storyline in the music video.
Sweet Dreams is supposed to be an R&B pop song about wanting to love and be loved. It comes out on March 7 at 2 p.m. KST. Before that, j-hope performed the song for the first time at his HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Seoul.

These subtle elements have led to widespread theories that the video could possibly feature a female love interest, aligning with the song's themes of love and longing. One fan wrote:
"Also a ring on his ring finger. What if there is a girl on MV? Jung Hoseok"
The teaser's cryptic nature only heightened anticipation among fans for the full music video.
"Well, though the ring is in the 4th finger, it’s his right hand .. so they aren’t married yet," a fan wrote.
"As the sun touches his face, Hobi is waking up in the flying house. With all those clues that he is with someone...uhhm are we getting a one-of-a-kind love story here just like in Up movie? We know he always surprises us with something else but gosh this MV teasers are already giving me the feels and the giggles and the butterflies!! What is he doing to us???" another fan wrote.
"I’m wondering if this is what he dreams of so he’s made a song about it," another fan said.
Some fans speculated that the Sweet Dreams concept poster was seemingly an ode to Pixar's animated film, UP, and the "house shaking" in the preview clip could be another easter egg.
"He's actually in tearoom at work, fallen asleep and is dreaming? Hence the break time sign??" a fan noted.
"And the house is shaking so I guess this is where it lifts off and flies away," another fan remarked.
"So many questions already!!!! 2 iced coffee? 2 coats? Also, what’s with the “smile, you’re on camera” sign? And then of course we have our sweet lover boy," another fan said.
