On June 28, BTS dropped series of individual concept photos along with a group photo. RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are seen dressed in navy blue overalls whereas Jin dons half jacket paired with white tee and denim, Suga sports a white t-shirt with navy blue pants, and J-Hope is seen a navy blue dungaree and a white tee. All seven members look fierce in the concept photos whilst holding prison boards with their date of birth written on them and several numbers. The same concept was seen in the music video as well. The highlight of the photos - heart-shaped handcuffs. BTS' crime? Stealing ARMYs heart.

Post the song release in May 2021, BTS had done a live broadcast explaining what the numbers meant - Jin and Suga opted for random numbers. Meanwhile, J-Hope entered the numbers from the famous pager code which means 'bbobbo (뽀뽀) (kiss/smooch)', RM entered the numbers which was their apartment he used to live in, Jimin penned the date of their first concert, V mentioned that "we will be No. 1" and Jungkook used the date when he first arrived in Seoul from Busan.
