Astute fans speculated that Taehyung was giving a nod to their characters in the MV. One fan expressed their excitement on X:

In the narrative of Love wins all, Taehyung’s character, Taejun, is depicted as blind in his right eye. The music video features the pair being pursued by an alien cube within a dystopian backdrop.

They discover a deserted shopping mall and decide to don wedding attire in their last moments together.

Understanding their imminent fate, Taejun and Jihye stage a wedding, sing with joy, and capture their final snapshots in a rundown photobooth. Their fleeting happiness is interrupted when the alien cube finds and hunts them down.

The conclusion of the official MV showcases Taejun and Jihye embracing one another for the last time.

However, the extended VCR of the MV suggests a happier scenario where Taejun and Jihye drive off into the sunset, hinting at a positive outcome. Importantly, IU has never clarified whether Taejun and Jihye survived or if the VCR indicated their journey to the afterlife.

This clip was first unveiled at the KSPO DOME on March 2, 2024, marking the beginning of her world tour.

The VCR was showcased again at IU’s Seoul encore performance on September 22, just before she wrapped up her world tour.

In other news, BTS’ Taehyung enlisted in the military on December 11, 2023, and is expected to be discharged in June 2025, returning alongside his bandmates Namjoon, Jungkook, Jimin, and SUGA.
