The video sees the three boy band members displaying their dance moves which is choreographed to perhaps signify an on-stage battle of sorts amongst the three.

The producers came up with the idea of Kingdom post the success of 2019's Kingdom. For the year 2020, the makers and the team behind Queendom had ideated a Male version of the hit show, hence the concept of Kingdom came into existence. The production team was supposed to film Kingdom in this year itself, but those plans were made in Pre-Covid times. As of now, it is being said that the team who will be responsible for filming and executive producing Kingdom will be taking the show to the floors sometime in the first few months of 2021.

The Boyz came into existence in the year 2017. The Seoul-based boyband comprises of Juyeon, Sun Woo, Hyun Jae, Kevin, Hur Hyunjun, Eric Son, Young Hoon, Q, Ju Hak Nyeon, New, Sangyeon and Jacob. The first song that was made by the band was titled "Boy". The song in question was released on December 6th, 2017.

Similarly, Stray Kids came into existence sometime in the same year as Boyz. Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N are the names of the members. The eight, who rose to fame after their initial individual appearance at a musical reality show, have produced more than 10 albums so far.
