Music Video

PV Shot

The music video for "Stay Gold" was released on June 26th, 2020 and it was directed by Ko Yoo Jeong.

It shows Jungkook in a dark room, as he gazes beyond the dilapidated spot. In the following scenes, the rest of the members are also shown wandering in various dark and decrepit locations, separated from one another. In it, they collectively dream about reuniting with each other on a sunshine-filled day and enjoy little things together. During each chorus, the video switches to lighter settings, showing the members playing Jenga, reading a book, or petting a dog. They enjoy the warm atmosphere while basking in gold light and confetti. Eventually, they see rays of light in the dark surroundings which help them to escape and reunite with each other. As the video draws to a close, they successfully seek paradise together, discovering a brighter world filled with purple flowers and lush nature.
