AceShowbiz - RM has given "Closer" ft. Paul Blanco and Mahalia a music video treatment. Arriving on Tuesday, February 21, the clip features several scenes from the 2022 romantic mystery film "Decision to Leave" which stars actors Tang Wei and Park Hae-il.
The clip opens with a tense scene between Wei's character Song Seo-rae and Hae-il's Detective Jang Hae-jun before they share a sweet moment together at a Korean temple. As the clip transitions, it's unveiled that the detective aims to investigate the death of Seo-rae's husband but he can't help developing feelings for her in the process.
"I see you in red, blue, green/ Don't wake me up from sleep/ I think I'm losin' my grip/ Everything off the beam/ Why you showed up in my life/ Like this so sudden, oh god no," the BTS (Bangtan Boys) member sings before his collaborators harmonize in the chorus.
RM announced the video's release via Instagram. Posting a clip of the visuals, he wrote, "We mixed some lo-fi arrangement to go with the video! It's an honor to be a part of a movie I love." He tagged Blanco, Mahalia, HONNE and "Decision to Leave" director Chan-wook.
"Closer" appears on RM's debut solo album, "Indigo", which was dropped on December 2022. When releasing the project, he unleashed a music video for its lead single "Wild Flower" ft. Youjeen.
RM previously shared that "Indigo" was inspired by the world around him. "Record of RM: Indigo. From the colors of nature, human, etc. Documentation of my youth in the moment of independent phase. Sun-bleached record faded like old jeans. The last archive of my twenties," he explained in a preview video shared on November 22.
