The MV was originally filmed back at the end of March, but their CB was pushed back, apparently because of the virus. In addition to the months long delay, today's video premiere was delayed by almost 8 hours because of last minute edits due to some insensitive pins and patches used in the styling.

However weishennies (WayV fans) organized a mass e-mailing campaign, and surprisingly, Label V/SM reacted and promised to edit out the patches and badges from all promotional material. Due to this, the release of the physical album will also be delayed:
