Jung Kook and Usher set ablaze the dance floor in their latest music video for the remix of BTS star Jung Kook's "Standing Next to You." Transforming an abandoned warehouse into their stage, the duo delivers a mesmerizing performance that showcases their impeccable dance moves.
The video kicks off with Jung Kook and his crew grooving to the infectious disco beat in a moody, daylight-flooded space. Dressed in studded black pants, a matching vest, and a white T-shirt, Jung Kook exudes charisma and energy. The influence of Michael Jackson on BTS' dance style becomes evident as they flawlessly execute moves reminiscent of the late King of Pop - from heel flicks to crotch grabs and hip pops.
Jung Kook, accompanied by six male dancers, captivates with slow-motion body rolls and precise popping and locking. As the cavernous space is filled with shafts of light, Jung Kook takes center stage, showcasing his vocal prowess while his crew supports him by holding his mic stand. The video seamlessly transitions to Usher, who makes a stylish entrance, displaying his signature moves with finesse. Clad in wide-leg black pants, a cropped leather jacket, black gloves, shades, and his iconic "U" medallion, Usher exudes a nightclub Terminator vibe.
The collaboration reaches its pinnacle as Usher joins Jung Kook and his crew, and the two artists effortlessly vibe together. The final minute of the song sees a spectacular display of hip-swiveling moves before concluding with a handshake between the dynamic duo.
The remix, released earlier this month, features a new verse from Usher, creating anticipation with a sneak peek of the video. Interestingly, the remix dropped just weeks before Jung Kook announced his upcoming mandatory military service in South Korea, following the footsteps of fellow BTS member Jimin. With all seven members of BTS either enlisted or preparing to enlist, fans eagerly await their return in 2025 after a well-deserved break.
