Meanwhile, the latest teaser photos followed last week’s teaser clips, which featured the BTS members posing, eating, drinking, and dancing to the tune of a mysterious track. Jungkook was shown in the very first teaser video, wherein he was filmed in a dimly lit room as he spread butter on his toasted bread.

RM, then, appeared on the second video turning a light on and off. Jin’s clip featured the K-pop idol playing around with some yellow balloons with smiley prints on them while Suga’s video showed the rapper taking snaps with a film camera on a dim set.

The third batch of “Butter” teaser clips featured BTS members J-Hope, Jimin, and V. J-Hope was seen holding a yellow lollipop on his video while Jimin posed with a bottle of drink. V, for his part, was sighted dancing and eating sweets.
