The clip comes in collaboration with the French luxury brand Cartier

V of 21st century pop icons BTS has unveiled a live performance video in collaboration with French luxury brand Cartier for his new digital single “Fri(end)s” released on March 15th via BigHit Music.

Since becoming a brand ambassador for Cartier in July 2023, V has represented the brand in various capacities. In light of the release of his new single, the soulful vocalist partnered with the luxury house once again for a live performance video that captures his mesmerizing visuals and aura as a fashion muse.

Released on W Korea Magazineโ€™s official website and social media channels, the video begins with a close-up of V standing in the middle of Cartier Maison Cheongdam โ€˜La Rรฉsidence,โ€™ adorned with a luxurious tapestry that perfectly complements his sophisticated aesthetic. His sleek attire, which still exudes warmth with its rich brown and burgundy tones, is accessorized with gold Cartier jewelry and a watch to accentuate V’s dreamy visuals.

Vโ€™s smooth vocals fill the room, which seamlessly traverses between low and high ranges. Through nuanced facial expressions that reflect his unwavering focus, intensifying in tandem with the song’s melody, V confidently showcases his magnetic presence as a solo artist with his distinctive sound.

โ€œFri(end)sโ€ is a pop-soul R&B genre-based track that embodies the forthright sincerity and sweetness of a springtime confession to take a longstanding friendship to the next level. Through the new single, arriving six months after the release of his first solo album Layover, V is garnering massive global attention once more with music and visual content that highlight his unique tastes and effortlessly cool charm.

V will deliver another captivating live performance of the new single with Cartier on March 19th.
