The MV starts with Haeum singing in a darkened gymnasium, before moving through abandoned fields, dense jungles, and twisting mazes.
Finally, KIKI reaches a symbolic 'graduation,' signaling a fresh new beginning.
Presented in an omnibus style, the video mixes quirky imagination with dynamic transitions and vibrant tones — breathing life into every frame.
