V of BTS has dropped a teaser for the music video of his upcoming English single, ‘Fri(end)s’.
V’s label Big Hit Music dropped the teaser for the BTS member’s upcoming single through the HYBE Labels YouTube channel yesterday (March 10). It comes just days before the official track and full video are due out on March 15 at 1pm KST / 12am ET.
The clip starts with V grabbing a leftover takeout cup of Chinese noodles out of an otherwise empty fridge, and sits at the dining table of an apartment to eat them, before wild flashbacks of partygoers start to abruptly flash by.
A brief snippet of ‘Fri(end)s’ begins to play as the clip shows V sitting in the middle of the chaos, staring at the camera in silence, surrounded by others who are partying.

When V’s upcoming single was first announced by Big Hit Music on March 4, it was described by the label as a “love song in the pop soul R&B genre”.
It will mark the BTS vocalist’s first music since he enlisted into the South Korean military for mandatory two years of service in December 2023. It will also mark new solo material from V since he released his debut solo mini-album ‘Layover’ in September last year.
However, V has since starred in a music video for a new song from IU titled ‘Love Wins All’ as its male lead. In the visual, she and the BTS member star as a couple fighting to survive in a dystopian world as they recall their happy memories from the past. However, V does not lend his vocals to the track.
“I sent him the music first, and V loved the music,” IU explained of how she managed to get him onboard the filming of the music video. “He listened to ‘Love Wins All’ and happily decided to star in the music video. He said. ‘I love the song, I want to do it’.”
