Lili’s character wanders through a maritime museum in Portugal, searching for someone she has lost. As she moves through the space, memories and imagination blur. She sees glimpses of the BTS members around her, creating a haunting yet tender storyline. The video captures her quiet desperation, while the group sings about diving deep into one’s emotions to find meaning and resilience.
