Kim Taehyung brought his distinctive R&B style to the song, evident in his impressive vocal range and his ability to effortlessly hit high notes. Additionally, V showcased his acting skills, which earned him the nickname 'Actor Taehyung' following his previous collaboration with IU.

In the FRI(END)S music video, the K-pop sensation portrayed a range of emotions, from loneliness in a world seemingly filled with love, to love in a world overshadowed by hate and anger. In both scenarios, Taehyung was shown being hit by a car and seemingly dying, only to wake up in bed, realizing it was all a dream. The video concluded with Taehyung waking up in bed, looking to the side, and seeing himself, perhaps realizing that self-love is essential to overcoming loneliness.

About the teaser of FRI(END)S

In the short film, you'll spot a mix of things like newspapers, fabric, puzzles, cards, plates, an apple, and more. The common theme among them all is the word "FRIENDS." But here's the interesting part: the film shows the letters "F," "R," "I," and "S" mysteriously vanishing, leaving only "END." And on the apple, there's an extra word - 'DEAD.'
