BTS' Taehyung gives fans a glimpse into the making of FRI(END)S MV in London

On March 19, 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC (now HYBE Labels) released the V ‘FRI(END)S’ MV Making Film on BANGTANTV.

Furthermore, the behind-the-scenes YouTube footage gave fans several reasons to humorously react to Taehyung's mischievous nature as the singer asks his staff to drive faster and "hit" him. To add context, in the official music video of FRI(END)S, the musician gets hit by a car twice and meets his untimely demise.

Hence, during the filming, the BTS idol asked his staff to drive faster and hit him, giving his fans a laugh.

"It’s so easy so tell them they can come closer to me. What’s scary about that? Tell them they can come faster... tell them to come faster."

The film-making video highlighted the singer-songwriter's funny and animated nature, much to the delight of his fandom. Fans shared their favorite snippets online and laughed among themselves to see the BTS idol swoon over Indian snacks, purchasing Maggi, Indian Pav bread, and Kissan Jam.

The musician also opened a box of Pringles at the store and started eating from it even before the billing. Since he did not want to be the only one involved in his mischief, the idol started handing the Pringles chips to his staff, which further amused netizens.
