Jung Kook’s BTS Bandmates Show Their Support As They Appear In His New Solo Single’s Music Video

Weeks after it was first announced, Jung Kook, one of the seven members of the band BTS, has finally made his new single widely available. “Stay Alive” can now be played on streaming sites like Spotify and Apple Music, and fans can purchase it everywhere. The musician already has a massive following, thanks both to his own releases and the music he makes as part of the biggest group in the world, but now those who can’t get enough BTS have one more reason to pay attention to his track.

The official video for “Stay Alive” features not just Jung Kook, but all the members of BTS. The man singing in the song is joined by Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Suga, who also took up producing and co-writing duties on the tune. The seven artists smolder and pose for the camera while entire computer-generated cities pop up behind them. Jung Kook does appear more than his bandmates, but they’re all there alongside him.

The presence of all seven BTS performers likely means that the “Stay Alive” music video will perform even better than it was going to, and there was no reason to believe it wasn’t on its way to being a viral smash. At the time of publishing, the visual has already racked up nearly 3.3 million views, and it has several hours to go before it passes its first full day on the platform.

“Stay Alive” is the latest solo single from Jung Kook, and it may prove to be his biggest success yet. Anticipation for the cut was high, after the star announced it several weeks ago. The track, which accompanies a webtoon focused on BTS, was first made available for fans to listen to only inside that cartoon. Now, it’s everywhere, and that means that in a week or so, it will begin to appear on rankings all around the world.

YouTube plays factor into where songs rank on certain Billboard charts in America, including the Hot 100. Fans of Jung Kook and BTS are sure to stream and buy the track in huge quantities, and now that there’s also a must-see video attached to the title, the chances that “Stay Alive” will bring the boy band member to the most important singles list in the U.S. are even higher.
