Music Video
The music video was directed by Choi Yong Seok and Edie Ko from Lumpens. It follows the story created by their previous song, "I NEED U".

The music video ends with them wreacking havoc in a tunnel and running away.
Another music video was released for the Japanese version of the song, also directed by Lumpens. It features BTS performing in a building, with cut-ins of each of the characters dealing with a sort of manifestation of their issues.
