The song titled "Friends" (친구) in the BTS discography primarily refers to the 2020 subunit track by and V (Taehyung) from the album Map of the Soul: 7 . However, V also released a solo digital single titled "FRI(END)S" in March 2024, which features a cinematic music video. V's "FRI(END)S" (2024 Solo)

: V is blissfully in love with a partner (played by Ruby Sear), while everyone else around them is arguing or fighting.

: V is alone and bitter while surrounded by couples showing public displays of affection.

: The video concludes with V waking up next to himself, which some interpret as a sign of self-acceptance or a "loop" in his own imagination. BTS "Friends" (Jimin & V Subunit, 2020)
