At midnight KST on March 19, J-Hope released the teaser for the music video of his digital single MONA LISA on HYBE Labels’ YouTube channel. Though only about 20 seconds long, the clip is packed with J-Hope’s charisma, heightening anticipation for his new track.

The teaser shows J-Hope in a sleek, modern art museum. Sitting casually on a tiered bench, he appears to be waiting for someone. As the sound of footsteps echoes from a distance, he lifts his head. The video ends with a mysterious figure approaching him, leaving a smear of whipped cream cake on his cheek before cutting to black.

The MONA LISA music video will showcase J-Hope’s signature chill performance style. As BTS’s dance leader, his sharp moves and expressive artistry are set to take center stage. The fusion of a museum setting that complements the song’s title, J-Hope’s refined rapping, and captivating visuals is expected to offer an immersive audio-visual experience.

MONA LISA is set for release on March 21 at 1 PM KST. The song playfully reinterprets the allure of an irresistible figure, drawing parallels to the iconic Mona Lisa painting. Through this track, J-Hope conveys that true charm isn’t about outward beauty but rather the unique essence that each individual possesses.
