Ten explained that he was sleepy because they were filming at 3 or 4 in the morning, and he thought he “was in trouble” because he suddenly started yawning. However, the yawn “came out pretty cool and fun,” and it’s become one of the most beloved moments from the video!

3. It was very hot outside while Ten filmed the dance scene in front of the trucks, and he was worried it wouldn’t look cool in the finished music video

Ten explained that it was “super hot” while he filmed in front of the trucks with his background dancers. He said the dancers were sweating a lot because they were wearing suits, and he was sweating a lot, too. He was worried that the scene wouldn’t come out well because everyone was sweating so much.

In the end, the scene came out really well despite the heat!

While watching “Paint Me Naked,” Ten paused the video and went back to the scene in which the elevator doors are shown. “What’s written on the elevator?” he asked.

After taking a closer look, Ten realized the “Paint Me Naked” lyrics were written on the elevator.
