Along with the album, a music video for the final song, “Forever Rain,” was released on YouTube at the same time. The animated video was directed by Choi Jaehoon and is entirely black and white, reflecting the monochromatic theme of the album.

If BTS songs of “Love Yourself,” can be seen as the sunlight, then Mono is the moonlight, an important part of the duality of RM’s artistic career.

Namjoon extends his record as the only Asian Act with the most #1s for an Album on iTunes.

He is tied with Ed Sheeran’s Album ‘DIVIDE’ as the Album with the highest no. 1s on iTunes.
