Taz talks about how he became part of RM's lost MV

Taz shared in detail how the project with BTS RM came up, "It was last year, and I got it through my UK and Asian teams. Initially, they kept everything confidential. I didn't know much, all I knew – it was an audition for a Korean project. Because I could speak some Korean, I embraced the culture earlier on in my life... I thought, okay, 'It'll be nice, fun to go for, and I'd try and give my best shot'." He added that after giving two auditions, he was chosen for the part which made him really happy.

Taz continued, "Shortly after only did I realise that actually I'd be working with not any Korean, but in a project that's with RM. At that point, I was really, really excited." When asked if he was a BTS ARMY before the music video, Taz replied, "Yeah, of course. I heard some of his songs before, like Lonely in his other album. And BTS, I've heard some of the other BTS songs. I was a fan, but going there, I had to be professional as an actor. But inside, I also had that kind of fan excitement." He said his favourite BTS member is RM.

Taz recalls fist bumping BTS' RM on set

The actor also recalled a fun moment with RM, "I remember one time we were shooting for a scene, and the music was playing in the back. Then the director said, 'Cut', and the scene finished, and the music kept playing. I heard, at that point, the beat changed, so the music changed. I felt the vibe of it. I remember turning to him, saying, 'I felt that, that was pretty nice'. We fist-bumped; it was cool, and it was fun. That was a good time."

Taz praises RM, his team

Taz also shared how ‘amazing’ RM is as a person, "He is amazing as an artist and also as a human being. He is a really good person. He is really cool. He is really authentic. We vibed together. To be honest, working on that set, it was like working with friends at some point. It was really good experience. There was no anxiety. He was really lovely and welcoming. His whole team was absolutely warm, friendly, welcoming. I didn't feel any anxiety at all." He added that he loved working with the whole team of RM.

Taz thanks BTS ARMY for their love

Taz also responded to a question about receiving love from the Indian BTS ARMY. Thanking BTS ARMY for their love, Taz said, "BTS Indian ARMY, BTS ARMY everywhere, thank you so much for all the love...People reach out to me and say they are proud, 'It's a major win for India'. I'm happy, full of joy just to hear things like that. It's encouraging and motivates me to try even harder. I appreciate all those messages."
