There has been plenty of new content from the currently enlisted BTS member to enjoy with the release of the new song.
BTS’s V gave fans two teaser videos, one short film, multiple concept photos, a music video, and more.
The song and its accompanying music video were officially released on March 15, and a day later, there was a specially planned “FRI(END)S party.”
The party welcomed 600 ARMYs to a cafe in Seoul where there was a “variety of fun activities, including booths, exhibitions, and special gifts that you can enjoy, making it a gift-like day for ARMY.”
