The award ceremony took place on June 18, 2025. The “LOST!” music video, released on May 24, 2024, is the title track from RMโs second solo album, Right Place, Wrong Person. The videoโs unique storytelling and artistic visuals earned critical acclaim.
Fans quickly celebrated the win on social media. Many called the music video a “timeless classic” and praised RMโs creativity. The Berlin Music Video Awards highlight innovative and visually striking music videos from global artists.
“Namjoon’s LOST! is indeed a timeless classic.”
“LOST! found its placeโon the global stage. #RMโs artistic brilliance just earned 2nd place at the 2025 Berlin Music Video Awards under the Best Concept category.”
“#RM has secured 2nd place at the 2025 Berlin Music Video Awards in the ‘Best Concept’ category for the ‘LOST!’ MV. This is a highly commendable achievement.”
The “LOST!” music video was directed by Aube Perrie, known for his work with artists like Harry Styles and The Hives. The videoโs concept explores themes of self-discovery and companionship. According to a press release, it conveys a hopeful message: “Even if one is lost, perhaps it may all be fine if lost with friends by oneโs side.”
This is not the first major recognition for “LOST!” The music video previously earned nominations at the Hollywood Music Video Awards and the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) Awards. It has now received 14 international nominations, making RM the first and only Korean artist to achieve such recognition in these categories.
“I mean, can you believe that LOST! MV got 14 international nominationsโฆ and RM/NAMJOON is the first and only Asian artist to achieve all of this.”
RMโs second album, Right Place, Wrong Person, features 11 tracks, including collaborations with artists like Little Simz and Moses Sumney. The album debuted at No. 1 on iTunes Top Albums in 59 countries. Despite RMโs ongoing military service, his music continues to break records.
Fans also noted the timing of the award. RM is set to be discharged from military service on June 10, 2025, alongside fellow BTS members V (Kim Taehyung), Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga. Currently, only Jin and J-Hope are active in solo projects.
“Namjoon winning awards for the ‘Lost!’ MV is so well-deserved! The visuals, emotion, and storytelling were on another level. Itโs amazing to see his artistry getting global recognitionโnot just as a rapper or leader of BTS, but as a true creative force. Proud is an understatement.”
“Hoping for Namjoon to achieve more accolades in future for ‘LOST!’ He deserves the world.”
