BTS' V's Fri(end)s video goes viral ahead of Valentine's Day
A fan account on Instagram, @tetemelon, recently shared a clip from the music video of Kim Taehyung's single Fri(end)s. The video showcases the BTS member's relatable frustration as he finds himself surrounded by loved-up couples while he's solo.
Everywhere he goes, from bus stops to restaurants to roads, he's surrounded by loved-up couples, a constant reminder that he's alone. It's as if the whole world is in love, except for him. The scene captures his exasperation and loneliness, making for a humorous and endearing watch, especially with Valentine's Day just around the corner.
The video, captioned "stay safe lonely fellows," has garnered over 5 million views, 1 million likes, and 4k comments.
The comments section of the video had the internet divided into two parts. On one hand, there were the "same, Taehyung, same" comments, where users sympathized with the BTS member's relatable frustration of being surrounded by lovey-dovey couples while flying solo. And then, there were the humorous takes, where users jokingly declared themselves a "lost cause" if someone as ridiculously handsome as Taehyung can't seem to find love.
One user wrote, "Why take such a handsome guy to be alone? This man must get all the girls. And if HE DOESN'T, then how am I supposed to get a girl!"
Another commented, "I find it extremely hard to believe that someone with his looks is single."
One individual joked, "I want to go up to a random couple and be like, Oh, that's why you're not answering my calls for the last two days, and just leave and see what drama starts up."
"How can a man with such handsome faces and a beautiful voice not have a girlfriend? I'm sure there's a line of women and even men who want to date him," another wrote.
