The video starts in May 2018, as the boy band flies to Bangkok, their first destination, where their fans are milling about at the airport to catch a glimpse of them. Waving and bowing to the fans, the band heads straight to the venue for a rehearsal and a final adjustment for the performance. Jinyoung makes a detailed suggestion on the lighting to the satisfaction of the staff and the members.

Leader JB lets the camera follow him to his room and shares his recent reflections: “how to make more people know us … see that we are a band that makes good music.”

On the day of taking to the stage, the bandmates seemed relaxed and full of excitement even having a live chat with their fans via V Live. But behind the curtain readying to step out in front of their fans, the seven members were flexing their muscles and battling their nerves.

“I wanted to bring the camera with me for the encore, but since this is the first stage, decided to focus more on the performance instead. Maybe tomorrow,” said Bambam.

“My nickname is Tzumeong, and Yoda,” the idol began, smiling. She ate some bread before taping the show. Bread has been her favorite food recently, she said adding that she wants to try her hands at cooking.

When asked what the most important thing in her life is, the 20-year-old sheepishly admitted that it was her cellphone. This year’s resolution is “to become smarter,” she said before confessing that she hated studying when she was younger.

If given a month off her schedule, she would like to travel with her family, said Tzuyu picking Switzerland as her top destination.
