 as well as Kim Bomi. The music video tells the story of a man (Jun Jin) and a woman (Kim Bomi) who is giving off the image of being attracted to each other romantically. However, another man (play by a member from Black Beat) also show the same love interest in the woman as well, thus initiating a fight between Shinhwa and Black Beat towards the end of the music video. First Love, unlike the other two, did not show Shinhwa dancing in a choreographed dance nor portray a story. It features instead various clips of Shinhwa, from practicing their dancing to having their concerts. Wedding March, again starring Jun Jin as the main role, shows a man proposing to his love interest.
