On February 2, 2024, a video sketch for the song Standing Next to You - Usher Remix was released by BTS member Jungkook on BANGTANTV. The video showcased Jungkook and Usher collaborating on dance steps and rehearsing their routine for the performance.

Following this, the latest YouTube video, Jung Kook, USHER - Standing Next to You (USHER Remix) (Behind The Scenes), was released on February 6, 2024 (KST) on the Good Good singer's channel. It took viewers on a ride to the off-camera setting of the making of the song's remix version.

In preparation for the much-anticipated release of his new studio album COMING HOME on February 9, 2024, and his appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show on February 11, Usher—an eight-time GRAMMY winner—has released an official in-the-shadows look at the music video.

In a specific scene in the video, BTS member Jungkook is seen seated in a chair while makeup artists and stylists work on his look. Wearing an all-black outfit, Usher sits down next to the BTS idol and asks a staff member if he might use his finger to press the "call" button on his phone because the celebrity is wearing heavy leather gloves.

Viewers found this bit extremely amusing since the Hollywood icon maintained a poker face while Jungkook was whistling and humming a tune of Standing Next To You. Usher then brings his cell phone in front of Jungkook and introduces his son to the BTS idol.

Several fans claimed that Usher's youngest son, Naviyd, is a K-pop fan and a member of the BTS ARMY. Others found the interaction extremely endearing and cute to see a father introduce his son to one of his favorite idols.

For the unversed, BTS' golden maknae released his debut solo album GOLDEN on November 3, 2023. The singer and dancer from the three-time GRAMMY-nominated South Korean band BTS released a remix version of his album title track, Standing Next To You with Usher.

In the behind-the-scenes video, Usher and Jungkook can be seen having fun together while rehearsing their dancing skills. Together, they enjoy laughter and good times while taking photos and hanging around. Additionally, fans saw the BTS artist express his excitement about collaborating with the renowned musician Usher.
