Just a day ago, on March 15th, BTS' V delighted fans with the release of his highly-anticipated single FRI(END)S.

Now, Surprising fans, BTS' agency BIGHIT MUSIC took a step further by inviting V's real-life friends to react to the MV.

It was intriguing to see Sung Dong Il attempting to sing along to the song throughout the reaction video, while the LE SSERAFIM girls and Uhm Jung Hwa reacted strongly to the scenes where V was seen getting hit by the car. Lee Jung Jae, the actor from Squid Game, also expressed his curiosity about whether the idea for the MV originated from V himself, mentioning that he plans to ask him directly about it.

At the end of the MV, Na PD portrayed what everyone was thinking: "In a world where only Taehyung is lonely and everyone else is in love, is it better to be alone or in a world where everyone is not loving but he is with a person he loves?" He praised V for portraying the plot excellently. LE SSERAFIM pondered over the interpretation of the MV, while everyone applauded the color palette and storyline. Sung Dong Il wished for V's health and well-being, expressing hope for his safe return from military service, ending the video on a heartfelt note.
