    • Music video synopsis

    The beginning of the "Ring Ding Dong" music video shows the members dancing in night. Every once in a while it switches over to show each individual member in different white rooms. Members are shown catching a butterfly in a glass container, having different reflections in mirrors, lighting candles with a touch of a finger, and turning back time. During the second verse the members dance on water with a black car behind them. The members sit in that same car later on. Towards the end of the video the members are shown with black wings coming out of their backs. The music video ends with the members looking at the city from a ledge.
