Music video

A music video for the song was released first on MBC Music on July 20, 2015 (rated as "suitable for all ages") and uploaded three days later on the respective YouTube channels of the group and the single's distributor. The video, directed by Hong Won-ki from Zanybros, features the group in outdoor scenes, intercalated with dance scenes in a field.

Due to the change of distribution from Genie Music (formerly KT Music) to kakao M (formerly LOEN Entertainment), the music video was reuploaded on the YouTube channel of the latter's 1theK service on November 2, 2017. In turn, Genie Music deleted the video from its own account.
