The 35-second teaser shows a moment of grabbing leftover takeout from the fridge and eating it alone, before cutting to a chaotic scene at a movie theater and one where V sits by himself in a crowded diner. The clip features a brief preview of instrumentals and vocals.

V’s “FRI(END)S” concept photos — including the black-and-white image above — show the singer in solitude as well. Check out the full set of six concept photos for the single on BTS’ Instagram.

The K-pop star first announced the March 15 release date of “FRI(END)S” last weekend. BTS’ official Instagram account had also teased “FRI(END)S” with a brief clip featuring V.

“The track, rooted in the pop soul R&B genre, delivers relatable and witty romance through lyrics written entirely in English,” a press statement from Big Hit Music said. “The single artwork accompanying the announcement reveals the song title and release date against a vivid pink background that hints at the song’s sweet mood.”

Big Hit says that another set of concept photos and “flash video encapsulating the overall mood of the single” will be released on March 11, and a second music video teaser will come on March 12.

“FRI(END)S” follows V’s 2023 solo debut, Layover, which included songs like “Love Me Again,” “Rainy Days” and “Slow Dancing.”
