[@potriacolano3596]

the woman there(like model) is have a movie squid game.

[@peach1347]

its a metaphor eluding to the story of cupid (hoyeon), the psyche (micol), and venus (tony). this is the painting of love and psyche they were looking at in the beginning. newjeans are her guardian angels i believe, because they are the only ones that can see her. hoyeon is cupid, her job is making people fall in love. but she fell in love with a human- micol. and she abandons her job and just follows him around hopelessly. he can't see her, no humans can see her. (when she looks at the mirror, she has no reflection). at the end of side a, where she takes her clothing off in the rain and looks up at sky, it symbolizes her asking to become human, her own way of striking herself with cupid's arrow. side b picks off where side a ends, she is now human and we can see that because yes her clothes are different, and people can now see her-- micol can see her. they start falling in love throughout side b. at the end, tony (venus/aphrodite) takes revenge by making hoyeon into a cupid again- thus nullifying her human status meaning micol can't see her and he forgets about the time they shared. ultimately, tony made him fall in love with someone else (that girl on the street) because she disobeyed her job as cupid its such a heartbreakingly beautiful music video, with a deep meaning and a retelling of mythology. everyone wants love and deserves love, whether they are human or otherworldly deity/being

[@leonedward7060]

Thanks for the explanation 😮

Thank you so so so so much! I understood the theme broadly, but this amount of detail in the metaphor is lovely, thank yoU! :)

Hoyeon is Cupid, her job is to make people fall in love but she is not allowed to fall in love with normal human. She wanted to stripped off her godly side and become human. That's why Tony the Aphrodite has come to discipline her and turn her back to Cupid

[@spinetribal]

Oh, and you'll probably be as FREAKING SAD as I am, but "Get Up", which totally deserves to be a full song, is just an interlude between "Cool With You" and "ASAP" on the mini album 😭

GET UP COULD HAVE BEEN THE MVP OF THE ALBUM 😭😭

[@SevenNguyen28]

Get up is great but it only has 36 seconds 😢😢

[@flo.g.]

Yeah, Hoyeon is the girl from Squid Game! And the grey haired guy is Tony Leung, a very famous actor from Hong Kong, known for movies like In the Mood for Love, Infernal Affairs (which was remaked into "The Departed"), Hero, Hard Boiled, The Grandmaster or Lust Caution. He also played the villain in Shang-Chi. I seriously wonder how they got him to appear in this

[@AM-jc3wd]

he wasn't the villain in Shang-Chi lol, the villain was the dragon thing that got released, if anything he saved them by giving his rings to his son who he trained to as a kid to be able to fight, get your money up not your funny up

[@sarahl9398]

Apparently he did it as a favor for his Korean fans. I'm guessing Min Hee Jin or Shin Woo Seok (director) has far reaching connections because Tony is world class. I saw every movie you listed above (even that Marvel movie just for him, lol). He is Hong Kong's crown jewel, a muse (especially for Wong Kar Wai), a living legend.

the painting is called Cupid and Psyche by François-Édouard Picot. So the mv revisited this story with a gender-bender/alternative ending kinda vibe. Really creative and beautiful and a lovely nod to past art like the painting and Greek mythology.

[@Fazry-gn7zm]

This girl didn't study mythology 😂 I just saw the Cupid statue and I realized that this is a mythological story

[@siovisuals]

This music video is actually about Cupid and Psyche story. (Ima try my best to make it understandable) The painting is the central important theme of the mv. It's called L'mour de Psyche. Simply the beginning (Hyeon, who's actor in Squid Game) the Cupid mainly does her own tasks and makes people fall in love. She found herself in love with a human as willing to be the man (Psyche). Here's my breakdown for shorten passage: The Cupid is mainly invisible in the Psyche eye's, she mostly follow him around how she's in love with him during Side A of the music video. The ending of Side A when she was considered to be naked mainly she trying to make herself visible (to be in love with the Psyche, the man) from the rain going angelness (turning into a human being but still a cupid), that's why Side B she went to his apartment, then completely sees her. NewJeans are angels or muses watching over the Cupid (Hoyeon) btw. Afterward the ending of side B; there was a man (the old man, actor named Tony Leung who's actor in Shang-Chi and many more + quite shocking to see him in the music video) he's called Venus part of the story as the father of Cupid (I'm not 100% if he's the father btw) and hates the Psyche to be in love with the Cupid. At the ending where the Cupid was waving at Psyche (the man), the Cupid was in shock seeing him (Venus) there since she's a Cupid while having a forbidden love with the Psyche. That's where Venus saw the Cupid was in love with Psyche and made Psyche fall in love with the girl beside the Cupid. Mainly, when Cupid lost her person, that she loved was Psyche. Then, she (The Cupid) went back to NewJeans (the angels or muses) as she can't be in love with a Psyche anymore since Venus broken it. I hope this make sense. + I love this concept sm that NewJeans is making because of these types of myths and Greek Gods storys that I learn back in fourth grade! If I miss any information just tell me because I'm still understanding the story

[@siovisuals]

There might be a lot of grammar errors but yeah 😭

[@Izumi_legend]

You did great I got. Btw I’m a lil litso if y’all didn’t get it reread

[@pb-zo5oq]

Cupid has the ability to fall in love with one arrow, but in the MV, the couple Cupid leads in the elevator but leaves unhappily; In order to fall in love with Psyche as soon as possible, Cupid, who is not familiar with the world, chose to imitate the blonde girl who appeared on Side A. However, in Psyche's eyes, the person he loves is Cupid who has shed his disguise. Therefore, Venus punished Cupid and made Psyche fall in love with another person, but it was not that she fell in love with mortals, but that Cupid did not know true love. Quoting Cupid&Psyche, the Dolphin Abduction Squad re measures Cupid's love and Venus' character, and Cupid, the goddess of love, who is a matchmaker, does not know what true love is. NewJeans at the end is the monitor and the knot of the dream. Zheng Haoyan, who transformed from Cupid into a mortal, stared at NewJeans and left. Whether she returned to Cupid's position or saw the link between her id and true love clearly, it was unknown

[@spunj]

When NJ debuted I think I slept on Hyein, this album in addition to OMG has made me appreciate her vocal alot, her English vocals are INSANE too so crystal.

[@loveIetter]

the way i understood the mv is that hoyeon and newjeans are “demons” or mythical creatures of some kind, hoyeon sort of being like a cupid? and she starts falling for the guy who can’t see her and she’s absolutely fascinated with him. newjeans are watching her because they are concerned since she isn’t allowed to love humans and at the end of the first mv she takes off the clothes which make her invisible, that’s why when she’s wearing normal clothes he can see her and they probably have a relationship of sorts? and tony leung seems to be like an equivalent of a “higher up” among the mythical beings which forbids hoyeon from loving the man and makes it so he can’t see her anymore and her presence makes him fall in love with the other girl

[@neb.9489]

THIS IS SO COOL! I wish I had the brain to figure this out!

[@CungucManhHung]

I think the black costume even means her power, she chose to give up her species power in order to be able to fall in love with that guy. That's reason why at the end of MV Side B, she no longer remembers who newjeans is but just enjoys their performance. My theory is still flawed as to why she remembers who Tony Leung is but not newjeans. I hope someone can fill my theory

[@heroturbo76]

B-side는 과거입니다(vhs비디오) 즉 A-side에서 그녀를 보지못하는 전남친을 만난것 A와B에서 다른 정호연의 의상으로 B의 그녀가 과거에는 상호작용이 가능한 인간있었던걸 알수 있음(화가인 남친이 그려준 초상화) 여기서 뉴진스는 큐피트를 감시하는 요정 또는 천사(하니의 커피숍장면) 올드맨(양조위)은 또다른 큐피트

[@pseudocide.]

Yeah this is pretty spot on, thought this was clear, or at least definitely more clear than Ditto or OMG haha

[@Politodarkangel]

You are so on point!! I thought the same because of the ethereal feel of the mv, new jeans's flowy outfits on both side a & b, them at the rooftop looking like a fairy pack of some sort, plus the paint in the museum they were at in side A, yes :)

[@peach1347]

they never fail to slay. no bad songs, no bad mvs, no bad choreos!!!

[@LeonaDiCarryo]

This is my personal running theory about the story of the MV's. In the first one (Side A), HoYeon's character is a sort of cupid. No one can see her, and the people she looks at, seem to fall in love. This happens in the elevator, and in the museum, and possibly other times as well that I can't remember right now. She then finds this guy who doesn't seem to fall in love with others, even when he is in the same positions where it has worked before, eg. the elevator. She finds this fascinating, and starts following him everywhere. She ends up falling in love with him, but recognize that she can't be with him, because he can't see her. This is shown when she is in his bedroom, and she can't see herself in the mirror. Because of this, she decides to give up her powers as the sort of cupid, which is indicated by her taking off her black outfit. She knows it works, because she can feel the rain on her. (I'm not sure if this rain part is correct, but this is the only time we see her get hit by the rain, and she seems to take it as a confirmations that she exists in the real world now. But I might be very wrong about that) In the second MV, we pick up after she becomes a normal person. She goes to his house, and he can now see her. (another detail I'm not sure about, is that I think the man had seen her in visions or in dreams, since it seems like he already had painted a portrait of her, which is seen in his living room. But I might be confused by some timeline stuff, and he painted that after they got to know each other) They end up falling in love with each other, and living happily, until the day when they are at the crosswalk. HoYeon sees the man with white hair, who wears a black outfit, signalling that he is also a sort of cupid. She recognizes this too late, and the new cupid makes the man fall in love with the woman behind HoYeon. I still haven't figured out what the last part of the MV is about. The part where they sample the other song. It might be them trying to give a positive message at the end of an otherwise sad ending, by showing that HoYeon doesn't give up on love, and goes out there again. But I am really not sure. A bit of a long explanation, but I hope others think the same way as me 😅

[@chulgim1]

This MV based on the Greek mythical story of Eros and Psyche, Hoyeon's role with a good performance representing Eros and a male actor representing Psyche. Eros, who was hard at falling in love with others, falls in love with Psyche, but there is a scene in which Lieung, the role of Aphrodite who hated Psyche in the myth, interferes. And it's my interpretation and opinion on this MV N the 5 members of Newjeans who are watching this can be interpreted asFive angels! the real ANGEL. haha ADOR MIN HEE JIN N MV director Shin is made a magical piece~~!!

[@getupbrandon]

many people have said this but the woman is hoyeon! she’s been in squid game like you said, she’s a major supermodel and she’s also been in the music video for “out of time” by the weeknd!

[@NewJeansblue]

Ador confirmed, Cool With You is a modern adaptation of the Greek myth of 'Psyche and Eros'. It tells the story of Eros (Hoyeon) giving up her godly status and choosing her love. NewJeans appears as a guardian angels who accompanies God and follows the narrative contemplatively

[@sonadasgupta]

What happens when you fall in love with someone when you are not supposed to fall for anyone?... NewJeans tells the story of forbidden love (she is cupid..she can make people fall in love, not fall in love) . While the video shows the longing and struggle of the story, the lyrics talks about the kind of love that just feels right even after in the midst of doubts.

[@mikeduplessis8069]

Back in 2008 the singer IU's debut MV was 'Lost Child'. The video was a gender-swapped retelling of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice where Orpheus enters the underworld to find his lost bride. So its especially interesting that NewJeans would come out with another gender-swapped retelling of another Greek legend.

[@derekluvsboba]

her name is HoYeon Jung and she is a famous actress/model and she looks very familiar because she starred recently in Squid Game! The story centers around Greek mythology, Eros and Psyche!

[@derekluvsboba]

the MV director Shin Wooseok also directed "Ditto"

[@K-pop_in_the_Garden]

My take on this: It's the story of Voluptas, the Roman goddess of pleasure and delight, the daughter of Amor and Psyche. Giving short moments of sensual enjoyment to the people around her, she's invisible to the human eye - and only the graces, always by her side, are witnesses to her works. Falling in forbidden love with a human, like her father before, she decides to shed her divinity for the man of her dreams. Only to let her father show her, that in the end, everything she'll ever give and get is another fleeting moment of bliss.

[@tracisr]

Oooo I think you might be right. I thought it was her parents story but your explanation is better!

[@mairaleao]

Great explanation! Placing NJ as the Graces and all actually makes more sense than being straightfowardly about Venus and Psyche.

[@reveluv4everluv]

This makes the most sense contrary to what most people think about it being the parents The graces and her father make sense

[@K-pop_in_the_Garden]

Just a theory like every other... but it's more plausible to me without some gender-changing shenanigans in storytelling. ^^ First of all, we see François-Édouard Picot's painting "L'Amour et Psyché" hanging in the Louvre - the (Roman) mythological backstory has already happened! We see Hoyeon's invisible character, awakening desire and lust in the people around her - it's not love, and it's not sustainable (seeing the man from the elevator breaking up with the girl shortly after). So she is a higher being with powers - a god, a demon, a ghost? We already established Roman mythology, so let's go with goddess... Just a jump to the end, Tony Leung's character is clearly a fatherly figure from the same plane of existence: invisible too, with powers, acquainted with Hoyeon's character, an age difference fitting for a presumed father-daughter relationship. So if he really is the father - going back to the story of the painting, he should be Amor, who in the end married his forbidden love Psyche after she was made immortal. Their daughter became the goddess of pleasure and delight, and it's just the things Hoyeon inspires in the people around her. Going back to the scene in the museum, where she stands side by side with the object of HER desire - I got the feeling of "My parents did, why can't I?" And NewJeans as the Graces, the entourage of Venus, often accompanying Voluptas as well? It's just fitting... ^^

[@K-pop_in_the_Garden]

Oh, and standing naked (leaving everything behind) in the rain? That's an image so often associated with rebirth and new beginnings in art, movies, and comics - think about "Blade Runner", Frank Millers "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns", Scar's end in "The Lion King", or Noah in The Bible...

[@mjpak2287]

Seems like she (the girl from Squid Games and top model) is a Cupid like entity. She falls in love with a human (Psyche from mythology) (the painting in the museum is Eros and Psyche) and gives up her powers to be with him (shedding her clothes was symbolic of losing powers and turning human) Newjeans is watching in concern (maybe as spirits or fairies) and in the end she gets caught for doing something forbidden and the king of cupids (Venus or Aphrodite) comes down and punishes her. The king being Tony Leung, Chinese superstar (father of Shang-chi, marvel movie). Amazing vibes. Amazing voices. Amazing visuals. Amazing Newjeans as usual!!! Loved the euro beat style!!!

To your point about how familiar the beat sounds, NewJeans' borrows a lot from breakbeat, so there's a good chance any beat you hear them sing over has been sampled before. For example, Super Shy uses the famous Funky Drummer loop, sampled in the Powerpuff Girls theme! This more downtempo UK garage sound is such a perfect fit for them. I'm so stoked for this album to drop!

[@totydely-br5014]

The girl is HOYEON, from the squid game series. The story is based on the mythological story of Cupid and psyche. Hoyeon is Cupid and she can make people fall in love but can’t fall in love herself as people can’t see her. New jeans are her guardian angels.. cupids job is making ppl around her fall in love but she comes across psyche and falls for him. forbidden love basically. the scene when she shreds her clothes is basically her shredding the cupid title and becoming human so she can be with him . However VENUS, (Tony Leung) finds out and turns her back into cupid making her partner forget about her and not being able to see her. to punish her for falling for a human he basically makes psyche fall for a different human girl. in the original story cupid is a guy and psyche is a girl but they switched the roles for this. ppl are also speculating that new jeans play the muses in greek mythology who tell the stories. i personally think new jeans are the ones that snitched on her to venus cuz they’re the only ones that are constantly watching her throughout the videos . ❤👏👏

[@windtaker11]

The story of a goddess who wants to feel love as a human being and angels watching it. It's a personal interpretation. Please watch it for fun. And it looks like it's Eros here. In the first appearance, two strangers make each other kiss in the elevator. Hoyeon becomes curious about how she feels when she sees such people. I think that in the art gallery, the painting of an angel who makes love with humans and is confused represents the theme of this video. In Side A, Ho-yeon eventually takes off her clothes and tries to put down her Eros' ability by expressing that she is getting rained on and become a normal human being. In Side B, that's how you make love to a man you encounter in a museum. But the brewer on the crosswalk stops time and puts everything back. The man doesn't recognize her and people don't recognize her again. It looks like the role of absolute God. In this whole video, NJ looks like angels who melt into human society and watch humans. He watches Hoyeon, an Eros who is out of his role, from a distance. In Side B's final Get Up, it felt like Ho-yeon was coming back to where he had put down his power, and the angels, NJ, were performing a ritual with a dance.

[@terrenceisbomb]

Hoyeon is a muse/cupid. She makes the man in the elevator fall in love. She also takes the man’s umbrella which makes him share an umbrella with a woman. This also keeps her dry. The muses (newjeans) make the muse/cupid (Hoyeon) notice the artist. Hoyeon tries to make the artist fall in love with others and he doesn’t fall. The muse relates to this feeling seen. She falls for him and sheds her muse-dom to become real. The rain allows her to shed her muse-dom. She pursues the artist and becomes a real life muse for the artist… An elder muse who can’t see Hoyeon makes the artist fall for someone else. It’s him seeing her/her desire for him to see her that makes her real but the elder muse breaks that. Things change. One day you’re someones muse and the next day your not. Your whole pov on that person changes.

[@jaysanharrell6807]

It’s Greek mythology. Look up the story of Cupid and psyche. It explains everything. It’s an ongoing story of obstacles of the love between Cupid and psyche. That guy in side b is psyche and she is Cupid in side a. That’s why she was following people on side a. She was pairing people up. But she found love even though it’s not allowed as a Cupid. So NewJeans playing a type of entity, saw that and shed that off of her so that she can find love and be seen but then psyche was jealous and it’s not allowed so he took her love interest away from her. It’s like le sserafim’s eve psyche and the blue beards wife back story.

she wasn’t really making people fall in love though, considering the woman and man in the elevator soon broke up after hoyeon left them

[@jaysanharrell6807]

@@worldwidefunnyguy well that’s the work of the Cupid. Is to match people together. Bu that doesn’t mean it’ll work out. That’s why her face was upset when she seen that it didn’t work out and moved on the man in the rising scene.

Ya know the brilliance of the street shot is you think something terrible is going to happen but something even more gut wrenching happens.......... ugh.

the familiar sound might be the beat that is behind the powerpuff girls theme song! they took inspo for it for both their album artwork and music

Isnt greek methodology not being taught anymore in US high schools ? Its still part of curriculum in Philippines even in public schools. American reactors are so lost...not even paying attention to that very famous and genormous painting!

[@KessandHanReacts]

No it wasn’t taught in our school. Don’t really understand how we’re supposed to pay attention to something we’ve never learned.

[@BritishTeaLover]

Jung Ho Yeon was the woman in black I believe, she was in Squid Game, which might be where you recognise her from.

NewJeans cool with you. Thank you for your sincere review Have a lucky day 🩵🩵🩵

In the words of Christopher Nolan, applied to NewJeans MVs: don't try to understand it, feel it.

Ok this is the first video I've seen of you girls and i already subscribed to your channel haha💗 I loved your reaction💖 (sorry if my english is no so good im from Argentina 🇦🇷 hehe☺

[@sdlife228]

this is a real quick upload!

[@Thraw415]

The story really reminds me of the movie City of Angels with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. It follows a vey similar plot line except involving a girl and an angel of death. So my interpretation is the girl in black is an angle of love and she goes around making people fall in love. She then either gets assigned to or sees the main guy and becomes almost obsessed with him. She then decides to become mortal so she can be with him (ending of side A). They then start going out and the old man in black is another angel of love who gets assigned to the main guy and he ends up making him fall in love with the other girl crossing the street. I think New Jeans are either watchers over the angels or in charge of assigning the people to the angels, thus why they are seen watching her. 🤷

[@jpreale]

I think this is right on. It’s the Cupid/Psyche story framed as Wings of Desire (the absolutely gorgeous film that City of Angels was based on), with omnipresent invisible angels, and one who wishes to sacrifice their angelic status to experience mortal love.

[@Thraw415]

@@jpreale I'll have to check out that film

[@neb.9489]

The woman is Hoyeon from Squid Game!

The way they tease with "Get Up" is soooooooo....pixilated 😮

I've seen one reactor thus far understand this mv lol it's fun watching most of them overthink the song and it's meaning lol. Brain cells are always lost because most people can't just vibe without overthinking or underthinking and it is hilarious to see ngl.

Not an year old and Newjeans is already on its own league.

THE MV REMINDS ME OF CUPID, PSYCHE, AND VENUS

[@PedroOliveira-ht3ip]

Hoyeon is the cupid, but she fell in love for a human and became a human to stay with him, but the boss came, and make him fall in love for other. The MV is a rereading of Psyche and Eros myth. Hoyeon is Eros, the guy is Psyche and the older man is Venus.

[@luf4rall]

NewJeans are like the muses in Hercules😂

[@MohammadRafiq-br8rp]

my interpretation of the MV is jo yuri (the lady in black) is a cupid, falling in love with a normal person. and then NewJeans are the angels. At the end of side A, the cupid revealed herself and become his couple, but on side B, the cupid suddenly became hidden again by the power of the old guy (probably god, idk) because cupid and human love is forbidden. and the angels (newjeans) are the witnesses of that event to be happen.

[@Leumasleumas725]

The song is like a soundtrack to a movie with two world stars!

[@pixiiie]

Get Up section is the FULL song 😭😭

[@wensalvador9577]

📰 According to k-media, the MVs of 'Cool With You' by NewJeans are a modern adaptation of the Greek myth of 'Eros (Cupid) and Psyche'! 💘 Tells the story of Eros (Hoyeon) renouncing his divine status and choosing love (Psyche). NewJeans appear as guardian angels accompanying the god (Hoyeon) and contemplatively follow the telling of the story.

[@getupbrandon]

i thought the song sounded like just for me by pinkpantheress in the first verse. i’m aware they’re inspired by uk garage on this track but what was similar that reminded me of the song was when the first line has no instrumental, and then it comes back the minute the first line is over. idk

[@alejmora]

She is a cupid type of angel who wants to love and be loved as a human. She manages to shed her wings and get together with the guy. Unfortunately other evil cupid angel (the older man on the other side of the street) breaks her spell and his loved one falls in love with the other girl. The eternal history of the impossible/unrequited love.

[@biancacdakitteee7161]

Ok so from what I've gotten out of it, is that she's some level if spirit. As you did figure out, nobody on earth realm can see her except new jeans. Now from what I've gathered also is that she seems to bring love to people she follows. Until the day she found the guy of color, she has taken a liking to him and follows him around. Problem is she can't be loved in return. Considering the fact he can't see her. So what do some people who are saddened do in music videos? They go cry in the rain. (A classic mode to story telling in music videos since the 90s)🙄😏🤷🏾‍♀️ im guessing the smiling at the end that she does is her accepting the fact "IT IS WHAT IT IS" SHE ALREADY understands who and what she is and what her roll is and she won't have a love of her own. And there is nothing she can do about it. Now before I seen your video on this here, I just seen ANOTHER music video VERSION of this song, where that same guy ends up having eyes for ANOTHER woman, but the main character of the video actually wanted him, but there is an older man who stands behind him at the crosswalk and is giving a sinister glare at the girl and the back of the guys head. As she runs to the guy when the light turns, she stops midway when she sees his eyes shift to the woman walking up behind her. And her heart is clearly broken. As for the older man he smiles an evil smile and walks off as if he's happy his job is done. Implying she's not allowed to date "a man of color"OR "she's just simply not allowed to be happy with someone". So over all between the 2 versions of music videos on this song. The woman in black BRINGS LOVE and the older man takes it away.😢

[@edmaster93]

here is my interpretation of the MV, imagine her as a cupid , everytime when she look at man, this fall in love to the first woman at view. then she found a one that don't fall into this curse (elevator scene when the woman walks away with him not noticing her) then she follows him everywhere without reacting to the curse. she decided quit her roll as cupid (naked scene) and then decided to go for him (side B) being happy and at the end other "cupid" who look at him and did get affect and look at the girl next to her. probably I'm wrong and I don't get much of the message. yes the girl is one of the squid games and the black dressed man at the end o guess is the father in shan shing movie of marvel. I thing NJ are angels 😇 looking at this cupid getting rouge.

[@wensonchang6077]

its the drum pattern. it follows a two step/garage drum beat. same with super shy and newjeans. it was popular in the UK in the 2000's.

[@ngeo88]

New jeans= Angel Black dress= Cupid Old man=Venus Side A Cupid create so many love for human one day she fall in love with a men, and Angel saw it , so Angel allowed Cupid to become human being to enjoy real love (the part she undress and wash under rain) side B she finally get to the man who is the artist paint for her, they enjoy the real love until the old men Venus appear to dis allowed them togater, ending Get up the Cupid hate Angel because they let her feel the sad of broke up.....story continue at full MV of Get up My own guess according to internet , Taehyung are supposed appear in one of the MV , he might be the real men for the Cupid later at the Get Up MV.

[@neobondoc]

City of Angels concept but instead of angel of death, she's an "angel of love" (cupid) of some sort. decides to get rid of her wings for the guy...
