The MV was filmed at the Universal Studios Lot in Los Angeles, on the Wall Street backlot (Google Maps). You can find detailed credits for the MV on Jason Baum's Instagram post. Josh Hensley also named several members of the lighting team in his own post.
The other lead character is played by Han So-hee (Wikipedia page).
Wednesday (laundromat)
The clock shows it's 10:05 in the evening.
You can see several signs such as these (#1 src, #2 src, #3 src):
There also seem to be several yellow bottles of Tide laundry detergent.
We see a vending machine at 01:28, which contains snacks such as
Whizzers
Utz chips, both original and salt'n vinegar
Snak Club nuts or candies
Two elements could be nods to the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once:
The "family washers" sign, which is identical
The laundry vending machine, that seems identical (hard to confirm)
A lady dressed as Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh)
There could be references to other media but we don't have as concrete proof as with Everything Everywhere All At Once. People mostly mentioned Titanic (for the flood and the couple staying together, cr.) but Beef (for the similar intro, cr.), as well as Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" (for the man running after the girl and the storm, cr.), were also talked about. There are also theories about each day being a different reference (cr.)
Friday (storm)
The movies shown at the theater are Seven Daggers in Seven Days and Lovesick Mambo.
Saturday (funeral)
The picture used during Jung Kook's fake funeral is from Proof Collector's Edition.
