SB19's Justin has revealed the filming locations for the music video of his first solo single, "Surreal."

Since the release of the music video today (February 29), Justin has received praise for its aesthetic and stunning shots of nature, creating a surreal feel.

In the four-minute music video, Justin is seen living in his imagination, where he captures and enjoys the beauty of nature. He wanders through flower gardens with beautiful views of the mountains and clouds, runs through forests, and feels the cold of winter.

According to Justin, he began filming the music video for "Surreal" in January and was shot in three different locations: Benguet, Zambales, and South Korea.

"Nag-start kami ng January lang, so first week and last week," Justin said. "First week pumunta kami sa Atok, Benguet sa Northern Blossom [Flower Farm] kung saan din namin shinoot ang 'Sunday Morning.' Doon po sinabay na namin 'yung few parts ng 'Surreal.' 'Yung best part din doon 'yung flowers and magandang views sa Atok. Sobrang ganda, sana po mapuntahan n'yo.

"And then after po nu'n pumunta kami sa Zambales para doon po sa mga forest. Tapos po 'yung ibang shots sa South Korea na. Pumunta kami roon actually parang half vacation, half work. Pinuntahan namin talaga para lang sa snow kasi 'yung nasulat kong kanta mayroong winter," he added.

The music video was conceptualized and directed by Justin along with Xi-Anne Avanceña. The song was written by Justin and produced by Radkidz's Pablo and Josue.
