The “LOST!” music video was directed by Aube Perrie, known for his work with artists like Harry Styles and The Hives. The video’s 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 one’s 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.

RM’s 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 RM’s 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. It’s amazing to see his artistry getting global recognition—not 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.”
The Berlin Music Video Awards nomination list included strong competitors like Glass Animals, Tommy Cash, and James Blake. RM’s nomination marked a historic moment as the first Korean artist recognized in the festival’s Best Concept category.
In addition to this win, RM recently dominated the Shark Music Video Awards 2025, where “LOST!” won Best R&B/Soul Video, Best Music Video (Grand Prix), and Best Direction. His collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “Neva Play,” also won Best Animation.
“RM got many unique recognitions from his album RPWP.”
“He keeps collecting awards after awards. All the best Joon.”
With RM’s military discharge approaching, fans are excited about his future projects. His ability to earn global acclaim even during his service highlights his lasting impact on music and visual arts.
