The song’s official music video unveiled V’s sensual dance moves for the first time. How Taehyung blended his moves with the tune of the song amazed fans through and through.
Later, when BTS went on their tour, V’s solo stage of “Singularity” became one of the show’s most anticipated moments. The videos of fans who attended the concert showed how the audience went wild when Tae took the stage.

Dynamite (dance break special)
