The blissful life with the woman of her dreams was nothing but a figment of his imagination.

 Soon after the video dropped, BTS’ V’s fans took over the internet to laud the artist. One wrote, “Christmas isn’t complete without hearing Taehyung’s comforting and angelic voice.” Another wrote, “A bitter truth is Artists like him doesn’t exist anymore. He feels like living legend. No one is like him. Cause he is versatile genius. He can write songs. He can create music which deserves to be in museum.”

Meanwhile, one fan penned, “Portraying the tortured, lonely artist by literally sculpting and chiseling away his life, trying to create something so perfect… only to lose himself in the process and ultimately have to face reality. I love you Kim Taehyung.” Another commented, “This song feels like a hug. You sing through your voice and end up touching my soul every time. Kim Taehyung you are truly an incredible man and I can never appreciate you enough. Even stringing words into sentences can’t do justice to what you are and the masterpiece you create.”

Additionally, a fan wrote, “The fear and hurt in the sculpted Taehyung’s face when he realized he and the girl were indeed not real, after touching the scar/symbol behind his ear. OH KIM TAEHYUNG! THIS IS CINEMA!!!”
