Music video [ edit ]

Two music videos were created, one featuring TVXQ group members while the other features a story. The drama version was released on June 24, 2008. According to management, the drama version was made especially for viewers who were not necessarily fans of the group and wanted to simply appreciate the song and its meaning.

The drama version feature Mina Fujii and Kouki Murakami. Kouki's character falls in love with Mina's character, but she gets married before he could confess his feelings. [2]
