The J-pop group &TEAM’s MV shoot buzzes with energy, but Euijoo, the leader, has drifted away, entranced by a stray cat. He approaches gently, and the feline instantly clings to him, earning soft pats and cuddles. Nearby, Nicholas, the only other 2002-born member—though a few months older, a fact he never fails to mention—receives instructions from staff to retrieve him. As Nicholas walks over, seeing Euijoo’s radiant smile and the cat nestled in his lap, his stern demeanor melts into something tender, the two sharing a bond that transcends mere friendship.
