As of May 6, a week following its release, this MV has reached 103 million+ views on YouTube. According to All K Pop, “That That” is also the fastest K-pop band to break the 100 million mark in 2022.
At the beginning of the MV, Uncle Psy walks out of the door of a bar in the style of a classic American western, and then bathes in the sun for a few seconds affectionately, and then sings – “2022, Psy is back! Long time no see, huh?”
As the camera cuts to a panorama, we finally see several backing dancers dressed as cowboys, and then a sedan drives past, kicking up a cloud of dust and transitioning. Over time, the crowd dancing with Psy also became denser.
The “Easter Egg” at regarding 1 minute and 20 seconds is the uncle Piao in a suit getting out of the car and posing the signature horse-riding dance moves in “Gangnam Style” (classic skin/limited time return).
At regarding 1 minute and 30 seconds, Suga in a white suit entered the picture in a “dramatic” way. Although the two sides inevitably fell into a battle of rap and awkward dance (and even made Uncle Piao’s mouth bloody for a time), the tone of the whole film is quite cheerful.
