In the released video, the driver invites a female passenger to sit in the front passenger seat after she calls the vehicle. Then he says, "Could you please wait a moment?" and brings a blue dolphin toy that was placed in the back seat to the passenger. The passenger smiles upon seeing the toy given by the driver but politely declines. The driver then says, "I not only give toys to passengers but also sing songs," and asks, "What kind of music do you like?"


When the female passenger replies that she likes G-Dragon's songs, the driver says, "I don't know Korean songs well, so I will sing a Chinese song." After he finishes singing, the female passenger compliments him, saying, "You sing quite well." Then the driver asks, "Have you ever met a driver like me?" and the passenger answers, "No," as the video ends.
