BTS Jimin released the title track “Who” from his latest album, Muse, on July 19. The cinematic music video of “Who” sent fans into a frenzy, and many speculated that V (Kim Taehyung) made a cameo in it.
After Jimin‘s Face era, the BTS singer returned to the music scene with a new album with a star-studded list of artists as collaborators. While none of the BTS members appeared in the feature list, ARMYs spotted a cameo of V in Jimin’s title track, “Who.”
Why do BTS fans think V (Kim Taehyung) has a cameo in Jimin’s ‘Who’ music video?
Before Jimin’s “Who” music video dropped, ARMYs saw the first clue of a possible cameo of V in the MV teaser. The video featured a billboard with the words “slow dance records” written behind Jimin.
“Slow Dancing” was BTS V’s title track on his debut album, Layover. Jimin also has a song titled “Slow Dance” in his album Muse, which features Sofia Carson. After the teaser clue, ARMYs spotted another small scene in the main music video, which appeared to be a brief V cameo.
Almost at the end of “Who” MV, Jimin sings, “Who is my heart waiting for?” Following this, a frame drops on the scene, seemingly with V’s face in it. The frame also features the phrases “Keep Going” and “WHO” in neon yellow and red letters.
V and Jimin’s friendship is well known in the fandom, so fans think the sneaky cameo is a sweet gesture of their bond. Moreover, the duo often call each other their “soulmate,” so it is unsurprising that V’s face would appear when Jimin earnestly wonders, “Who is my heart waiting for?”
Meanwhile, the reception of Jimin’s latest title track has been massive globally. Within seven hours of the new video’s release, it has garnered over 3.5 million views on YouTube. The song has also topped iTunes in over 90 countries. The title track, “Who,” has been a huge success, and the album has also had impressive sales. According to the Hanteo real-time chart, Jimin’s Muse crossed half a million sales within hours of its drop on July 19.
