Moreover, towards the end of the clip, some of the phrases mostly used in pansori(a genre of Korean folk music) such as "Eolssu", "Deonggideok kungdeoreoreoreo" could be heard by RM's voice. The teaser's last scene in which Jungkook coughs, is also inducing a lot of interest regarding the meaning of that particular action.
