The four-minute video, which V Live editors named “BTS three years from today,” features RM and Jimin of BTS doing a V Live broadcast on Nov. 24, 2015, six days before the release of “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2."

Released on Nov. 30, 2015, the record landed BTS on the Billboard 200 chart for the first time, which was the onset of the group’s meteoric rise in the global music world.

RM and Jimin, both wearing big fur hood parkas indoors, introduced still photos of the bandmates, which were “concept images” for the forthcoming album.

“The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2 is going to be super cool,” RM said at the end of the broadcast. “Please look forward to it,” Jimin added.
