You were right, this song was most likely dedicated to close friends that she's lost. In the last few years she's lost 3 close friends to suicide, because of the unnecessary hate and pressure they received from the public. The lizard that turns into a dragon in the video represents one of those friends named Jonghyun, who was a part of the group Shinee, and sadly passed away a few years ago. He was also really close with Taehyung, and many people mourned his death. People say he was represented this way because he was known for being a huge fan of the pokemon charmander. The girl in white who ends up on the back of the dragon is speculated to represent the 2 other people she lost, Sulli and Goo hara, who were lost last year because of the amount of hate they received from the public. IU is most likely the girl in the plane, who cries while smiling while looking out the window seeing how happy they are in the afterlife, and her tear in the real life counterpart could represent that she's found some sort of closure. Overall a really good song, IU and Suga were said to have both contributed a lot to the production, finding themselves to work really well together because they had a lot in common. You're one of the few people who I've seen react to this song so far who understood the implications of this song, thank you so much! Edit: thank you for the likes! I’m glad I was able to bring the meaning of this song to more people.
IU has been in the industry for many many years as she started at a really young age. Her real name is Lee Ji-Eun and she is the same age as Suga. She is also an actress and I love her latest drama recently called ‘Hotel De Luna’. Do watch it if you have the time. She’s also a very well respected singer in Korea. We believe this song is dedicated to her really close friends in the Kpop industry who took their own lives. They are Jonghyun (from SHINee), Goo Hara & Sulli. Jonghyun took his life in 2017 and the other 2 girls took theirs last year. If you know this back story here of her losing her close friends, this song hits differently when you read the lyrics again. As she asked “are you happy now...” and saying to see them in her beautiful memories. Also Jonghyun was known as an amazing vocalist. Do check out his solos if you can. I also agree with you that Suga is the right person to collab with IU for this song.💜
Also some fans have interpreted that the lizard that turn into a dragon represents Jonghyun because he was known to like the character Charmander. And the anime girl in white that you paused at 9:11 could very much represent Sulli or Goo Hara. That's what some fans have felt it could have represented.
The title '8" potentially has 3 meanings... One: April 8th is Jonghyun's Birthday Two: Sulli and IU were friends for 8 Years Three: The number "8" is also a symbol for Infinity/Forever - Forever Young Jonghyun, Goo Hara and Sulli were very close friends with IU, all were victims of suicide.
@@tralaiabell9073 Actually it's only two years before their birthday after their birthday it is a single year. When they are born they are 1 and when the year changes they gain a year to their age. IU is 26 almost 27 by western age, on her birthday she will not gain a year in Korean age as her age is set by the year. www.sbs.com.au/topics/voices/culture/article/2016/06/23/what-age-reckoning
you dont know iu? iu is the most popular soloist in korea. after releasing a song called "good day" she's called south korea's little sister bcs of her amazing vocal skill and triple high notes in that song and became the most listened soloist there. she also has a stable and active fanbase. everytime she has a comeback her songs are always at the top of the charts, just like bts but bts is more known outside than her. her songs are always stays with bts's songs, and you know what? they did a collab. if you see the chart diagram you'll be shocked lmaooo they literally broke charts everywhere after 5 mins the song released. she's also an actress that acts, her drama's genre are so cool such as historical drama, fantasy, etc. "scarlet heart" and "hotel del luna" r my favs. and also a drama called dream high, she acted with suzy from miss a.
He is American, even some kpop groups are unknown there lol. Especially for non kpop/kdrama fans, mostly just know Top Group like BTS & Blackpink. But of course BTS is already a powerhouse name in US.
IU is the most popular soloist in Korea. She is loved and adored by the general public and has been around since 2008. She has the most number one hits on the Gaon Music Chart in Korea. She also writes a produces a lot of her songs. She also acts and was the lead in the drama "Hotel Del Luna" last year which was the highest rated tvN drama last year.
IU has a number of songs that she calls the "Age" series and this is one of them. The "Eight" is for her age, 28, as Koreans count age. Her birthday is this month and Suga's was in March. After her birthday, they will be the same age.
About the song meaning, what she actually said in an interview was “if my previous songs were in the form of essays where I talked to the listeners directly, ‘eight’ is like a short novel where I confess my 28 using a fictional character ‘you’ and many metaphors.” She adds, “I’m not sure whether this is coming from my personal sentiment, the general atmosphere of the society that is struggling through hard times due to the disaster, or both, but I feel like my 28 will be remembered as a repeated feeling of helplessness and lethargy and the longing for the ‘orange island’ where we were not sad and were able to feel free.”
Just a side note about IU, she's an amazing singer. She's the most popular, most respected soloist in Korea. She's also an actress.Even people who aren't her fans like her and have respect for her. She's considered as the nation's pride, just like BTS💜
This is a very emotional song. It's almost like a tribute to the losses of the kpop industry, like Jonghyun, Sulli, Goo Hara... 💜 IU's vocals and Suga's melodious rap. This is a masterpiece
JK is a fan of her for so long, and of course he got taste! 🙈 And our Min PD never fails to amaze us everytime! 💜 IU herself is a successful woman in her career on the music industry and as an actress as well. Now u know how she could act so well :v 💜 As far as I know, IU has even been in the music industry longer than BTS, around 2008...? IU is one of the DIGIMONs (Digital Monsters) as well... 🙈 So this collaboration is basically a creation of Double Digimons 💜🙈 Anyway, LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, ALWAYS 💜
Fact about IU: Full name ( Lee Ji Eun ) IU and Yoongi are born in the same year (1993). #93liners. IU was the most Respected and well known Female Artist in Korea. Her unique voice is one of the reason that gain her popularity. Korea named her "Digital Monster Queen" & "Korea's Little Sister" because everytime IU released a single/album, she can crashed all Korean Chart. She is the only Korean Artist that has many record of PAK "Perfect All Kill" in all daily topping chart in Korea. She is also an Actress and role in Many leading drama and Movies. IU is actually famous in ASIA. Also, IU is the moat awarded Female Artist in korea. She's like the "Taylor Swift" of Korea. Little Fact: Jungkook has an admiration towards IU. He mentioned it before that his ideal tyoe is IU. Our kookie is blushing so bad for IU haha. Love your reaction 💜💜
IU also had a heavy hand in the songwriting and composition. Suga served as a producer but also lent his vocal for the track. he also has done the beats in the track. And I believe the melody as well. I know after the song's release he would not listen to it because he says he knew he would hear things that he could have done better. Love the lyrics and the beats/ music. The done a great job.
Im pretty sure this song is about the kpop stars we lost. For example sulli and so many others who took their Iives. And I think she says forever young because they took their lives at a young age so they are forever young.
that girl is our golden maknae ideal girl.im not even suprise. she has it all. the beauty, the talent, kind, everything! so, even though I'm a jk stan but an OT7 I will never regret loving IU.periodt.
Fun facts: IU is an actress and she has already had her own short-series on Netflix called "Persona". IU is one of the most successful solo singers in Korea, she is called "National sister" by the Koreans And not to forget that Jungkook is a big fan of her, his first ever music album bought by himself was from IU
Collab of the year!! I love this song so much, the meaning behind it is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Yoongis soft rap matches so well with IUs angelic vocals💜
Eight represents her 28 year.. she released 28 + 28 = 56 on May 6th. 8 flipped on its side represents infinity which means they have unlimited time when they see each other again later. There was a reference to an island which means that is their happy place of memories away from everyone. The happy scenes are memories of her time with her friends back then. The sci fi mechanism is supposed to record her memories. In the end scene where she smiles a bit, she is happy that her friends are at peace and the plane symbolizes her moving on.. then she paused and then gives that stern look at the camera which is a message to those haters a "are you happy that they are gone?" and being defiant. Deep video.. sad and brilliant writing and lyrics. Enjoy. This was an emotional video for IU and she tries to remember her 3 friends.
Iu lost the most precious friend of her's because of the people who didn't know what loss meant.Iu made this for her memories to with her friends so she could remember the good days she spent with them.Yoongi suffered depression so he is also recalling those times when he was not.The loss he also felt. Throught this collab they showed us what they felt their loss.
I really appreciate your careful insight when reacting to videos. It really shows your genuine interest. Thanks for another great video and yes Yoongi is and will continue to have great impact in the music industry. He is truly talented and with equally amazing IU, is definitely a super combo 💜
I U is someone to check out. She's been in the game forever. I got into Kpop around 2010 and I U was already a very well established singer and actress, even though she was so very young. I think she debuted in (2006-2007?). She's been through A LOT and has suffered the loss of three of her best friends in recent years. She remains so sweet and humble, despite the dark side of fame. I think she is so very talented and graceful. Def THE OG Queen and is admired and respected by her peers. Eight is her favorite number, BTW and has symbolic meaning for her friends that have passed. Eight years of friendship with Sulli (RIP) and JJong was born on 4/8. I'm not sure how it connects to Goo Hara, but on the side, it is the infinity symbol, so in her memory, her friends will be "forever young" and now that they're together, hopefully (and finally) happy. It is a very difficult song and video to listen to and watch because it will never be enough time elapsed to "get over" such senseless losses in Kpop.
IU is one of the most respected singer song writer in korea and amazing actress. Her lyrics and Suga's rap such an amazing and great combination. This song is sad. Sorrow of losing our love ones like friends and family. She also write this #Eight for becoming 28 of age. She wrote her songs based on her own or other people experience. I love how she express her emotions through her lyrics how she deeply expresses them. I love this collaboration. 😍❤😍 Her voice so calming so soft but with impact! ❤
I am Army but I love & respect IU so much. She is very talented. I absolutely loved this collab with Suga. This was one of the best collab for me. I love this song. Both Suga & IU 93 are liners.
IU is very respected in Korea, she is in the industry for a long time and has a lot of popular songs. Jk has a huge crush in her and he is also a big fan of her. 💜💜 (Sorry for my bad english)
IU is a very talented woman and a very genuine artist. she produces and writes her own song and is one of the most successful and famous artist in South Korea
Oh dear- what I love about this collab is that it’s so symbiotic. BTS is so global and IU is LITERALLY the Queen of Korean music industry (biased opinion but it’s pretty accurate). This collab is earth-shattering. Hail the Kings and QUEEN. So happy for her- I’m ARMY through and through but IU undeniably a Queen and I was floored to the point of tears when I heard the news- IU deserves as much producing credit when international BTS ARMYs learn about her and this collab. Absolutely HISTORIC.
Lee Jieun a.k.a. IU is literally one of the most respected artist in Kpop. A lot of idols look up to her. She can sing (literally a vocal queen), she's songwriter and can produce her own songs as well, and she's a well-known actress in Korea. Please react more from her!😊 (You're right this is dedicated to her friends that had passed away. Jonghyun and Sulli, which was the dragon/lizard and the animated girl in the white dress. She's strong❤😭)
I just want to put this out that this song doesn't fully showcase IU's singing prowess. She's really very talented. She's South Korea's darling, and rightfully so. The girl has vocal chops and acting skills. Every song she puts out automatically gets number 1 in Korean music streaming platforms. You could say she's a household name in Korea. She has actually starred in several kdramas. The first few you could see she was learning, getting the hang of it, but in the latest one of hers that I've watched (Hotel del Luna), she was phenomenal. She has a great personality too! I just love her so much 💕
The girl in airplane is IU. And the girl with the dragon is her friend who deceased last year. And the dragon is her friends too (male friend) who also deceased in 2018. The name of girls is Sully, and the dragon is Jonghyun. They all a singer. You can search by internet who are them.
IU is so cool, she has a beautiful voice, she is a talented actress and such a cutie.i really like IU, especially after watching the drama "Hotel Del Luna", her acting is so gorgeous. The lyrics of the song are so beautiful and Yungi’s party is very cool. I fell in love with this song. I heard that Yungi was the producer of this song, also a composer, took part in arranging and even played the piano. He is super talented.
IU and SUGA is perfect for this, they are both 28 this year and the song is about letting go and acceptance. They are both on the plane representing their present self, while the animated girl outside represents her childhood. Letting go of past hardships and accepting ourselves in the present.
3:53 - YEP! that's how I describe him and his style of Rapping all the time! "Tough yet sensitive and emotional". I can't listen to this song without crying.Jonghyun's passing hit me really hard and I've changed to some extent (for the better)as a person and I'm still changing. I mourned his passing for a long time and I'm still working on healing. After his passing I've decided to do what I've always wanted,career wise. A lot has changed for me since that tragic incident so when I've found out about Sulli it took me back to that time I found out about Jonghyun. This song is so overwhelming to be but I love it.
Yes. She must be on the list. She has so many great songs to listen to. Everyone loves her because of her talent and personality. It’s the combination of my favorite things, IU and Yoongi. And BTS of course. Thank you for the reaction 💜
Suga has been a good producer, he collaborated with a lot of artist and some of it is he is the one who produced the song. Little background about IU, she's a singer-songwriter and an actress that's why she got really a nice expression and good in camera. She's also a Nations Little Sister in korea, one of the most respected artist in SK she's a chart bullies too like BTS that's why this collab is the most awaited because of these two amazing artist her songs are really amazing you should probably check it out!. I want to recommend also to listen to Winter Flower by Younha ft. RM and also Chicken Noodle Soup by Jhope ft. Becky G.
IU was JK's ideal girl.. Hearing and understanding the lyrics of the song.. this reminds me of her friends who ended their life because of the harsh society.. the first lyrics: "looking happy / are you happy now?" She probably asks it whenever she remember them.. Suga on the other hand will be a big player in the music industry..
Thank you💜💜💜💜 Asian Music Award Shows are going to be very interesting this Year with BTS Album MOTS:7, RM collab with Younha, Suga's collab with IU, V Kdrama OST , and BTS starting to working on an entire album by themselves, and it isn't even half way through the year yet...and that just BTS. TXT has a comeback that has mind boggling teasers already, MCND and Cravity debuting and so many other groups making comebacks
lol all my thoughts. there is a possibility jk and tae release their mixtapes too . and there is some big comebacks in June . 2020 was like no one could do anything cuz of quarantine and still a big year in kpop, so yeah.
Please do put IU in your list! She's one of the most revered, if not the most revered, solo artist in Korea. She may not be as well-known as idol groups internationally, but she is a living legend in Korea, and to most kpop fans who have been around for a while as well. In Korean charts, her songs always skyrocket to the number one spot and breaks records in just a few hours, a feat only she and BTS have been able to consistently accomplish for the past few years. She's a true artist, and you will feel her heart and soul in her songs. You have great perception, so I'm sure you'll really appreciate her and her work!
IU is a queen. She debuted in 2007 and very very very well known in Asia. Every single song that she released is a BOP and slayed music charts. She has a unique style and charm in her music. Not only having such an angelic and powerful vocal, she is a very talented songwriter and composer as well. She has won grand prizes for this category. You should definitely check out her music. It would be a shame for not knowing her after getting into Kpop. Besides, Suga has done a fantastic job again. You're right, he is going to be a big music producer soon. Here is some theories: This song is about her best friends who have passed away, Sulli and Jong-Hyun. These two are both kpop artists. Sadly, they're not here with us anymore. You can do more research about it if you want. The future vs. past, it looks like IU is reminiscing all her memories with her friends. IU in the plane looking outside through the window may represent that she is seeing her friends leaving her and going up to the sky (passed away). The plane is like the real world that IU is still in. Yes, it's a very harsh and full of struggles (the storm you see in the mv). The girl with white dress running in the jungle and riding the dragon may represent Sulli. Even the visual looks like her. While the lizard/dragon could represent Jonghyun, who loved the Pokemon Charmander. There is a significant difference between the animated girl on the plane and the dragon girl is the mole on the cheek. Only girl on the plane has it. At first I believed it's IU because of the mole. But after I did some research, I found out that Sulli has the mole at the exact same place too. So that threw me off a little bit. But I still stick with IU being the one in the plane because she seems very sad, she was crying as watching her friends leaving her. The lyrics "so are you happy now?" is IU asking her friends if they are happy now after deciding to leave this world? The dragon girl smiling the whole time, I guess Sulli may be finally happy? There are a lot of theories about the title "EIGHT". April 8 is Jonghyun's birthday. Some fans say that it's 8 years since IU and Sulli became friends. If you turn "8" side way, it's "infinity" (a transition in the mv) which means "forever/never end", which means IU will never forget her friends and the memories about these firendships will always exist. This song is so meaningful, wholesome, yet so sad even though it's so upbeat and full of hopeful/bright vibe. The sound effects on her voice during "So are you happy now" somehow broke my heart.
Easter eggs/theories (mostly of the jonghyun/hara/sulli and memory theory): -from a little source apparently there was an mc from music bank I believe or broadcast where they asked sulli about her happiest moments and her reply was : "I was never happy" thus the first lyric is reference to if she is now in a better place -8 In reference to forever in eternity, April 8 is also jonghyuns bday, and the 8 yrs of friendship as well as 28 being both iu and sugas age as the reminisce memories -lizard: goo hara had a very unique nickname. It was iguana. U can see the iguana leaving yet being able to crawl into the airplane window to meet one last time before the storm - girl in the white: she reminded me of sulli bc of the mole -dragon= jonghyun was very interested in charmander. -ending is would u like to erase your memories. Meaning although they have left this world she can move on but always remember them
She's an actress, most of her drama are on netflix if you want melo My mister best for you, if fantasy Hotel de luna or just a musical Dream High was the best option, if you want to cry scarlet heart was major heartbreaker but I don't know if its on netflix but Its the best. All her drama She the star before BTS debut
You're right the song is apparently dedicated to his friends who died, (Sulli and Jonghyun). The girl in white and the lizard that turns into a dragon are symbolisms of her friends. Although it is only a theory.
I am ecstatic that DT is being introduced to IU now! I am glad she is on your list, DT. This is only one of her vocal colors. Wait until you hear her ballads.
IU is a Singer/Actress whom Jungkook named as his "perfect ideal girl type" during an interview. She herself had suffered depression/weight loss and is recovering well . Also she is highly respected and gives generously several monetary donations for worthy causes.
This music is about two of k-popp's idols who commit suicide and they were friends with IU. The girl in the movie is sulli and the dragon is jonghyun. and after their suicide, the hater said that the third person would be suga. This song is very valuable and shows how strong the suga is
another meaning of details: 8 means horizontally the symbol of infinity (forever) both of them is 28 yo. (IU and Suga) 28+28= 56 (5/6 release date of the music. the 3 Facial Expression she made means 1st-shes not happy (mad) that she woke up frm like a good dreams as if she never wnated to wake up) 2nd- little smile as if accepting and realizing that her lost friends were happy to wherever they are now. 3rd-blank stare as if asking those people, things that implicate the death(suicide of her late friends) asking them, "if they are happy now that 3 of her friends passed away. "... I was really really heartbroken learning abt her late friends. 💔😭But anyway, this song was also good.. sounds like giving hope vibes. And as Army, so proud of SUGA! great job indeed.. 💜💜💜🇵🇭
IU... a beautiful solo artist who became sooo popular and well respected in kpop world because of her amazing talent..a great composer and producer..she wrote most of her sonģs receives so many awards as a composer...album making of.the year..and she is also an award winning actress...please chck her songs...so beautiful..
Yehey im so happy that your gonna react to IU soon..Good day and through the night is one of the best IU song.thats why jungkook adore IU for long long time because shes so talented and beautiful as well.thank you so much
Another beautiful songs featured or produced by Suga: Lee Sora ft. SUGA *'Song Request'* Heize ft. Giriboy *'We Don't Talk Together'* (Prod. by SUGA) Suran ft. Changmo *'Wine'* (Prod. by SUGA)
Beautiful lady wonderful singer. First came across her in the drama Moon Lover's. I think it was her first acting gig or one of her first and she knocked it out of the park. She seems very real and grounded, and is extremely popular in Korea. And I for one think she and JK belong together and should have lots of babies 😊.
FYI. She used to be (maybe still?) Jungkook’s big time crush. He could openly declare his love but would freeze up and shy away in person. How freakin cute!
Dude, you are one for the first reactors of this song that I saw who really understood the meaning behind the song and the MV. It's a beautiful song, IU is amazing and SUGA is a genius. This song was so different from IU's pervious tracks, IU has always been an amazing singer, the fact she is JK's ideal woman (in terms of music :P ) says it all. :)
IU is one of the greatest solo female singer in South Korea... She is an actress too... I love to watch her in her K-drama... One of her great k-drama is "Hotel Del Luna"... It's one of my favorite K-drama... Oh.. one more thing... IU is Jungkook favorite female singer and his ideal woman type..
Suga produced songs for other singers too. Check out “Wine” with Suran, and “We don’t talk together” with Heize. He has already won an award for producing “Wine”. 😊😊😊
IU is a solois before Bts debut, and she is an aktris also. she's very beautiful girl and Jungkook is IU big fans 😁 I dont know many about IU song but I like her 💜
IU write lyrics with so much metaphor😉and she's an actress too😊 watch her BBIBBI and Blueming, everything, from colors to hair pins, hyenas, whatever there is in the video has symbolism😂 it's part of her age series songs by the. Twenty-three to Palette and then Eight. I think she has something with colors too😂 Chat-Shire, the color is purple, Blueming for Blue, autumn morning for green, Eight and Last night story for orange, Red shoes and Red Queen for Red and BBIBBI for yellow, it's a disstrack by the way😂thank you for reacting😊
Wow you're the first person that really really makes me want to watch your videos more bc you are not just react bc it is on trend but you feel in the song. 😊
iu is an amazing artist, who has been in this industry for a long time, since she was very young, her work is perfect, you can take a look at blueming the official MV
Suga wrote the lyrics with IU, composed, produced, he was also behind the piano and synthesized. Suga was the first BTS member who was in the official list of the producers/songwriters of Korea Music Copyright Association which only have few members in it wayback. Please react to So Far Away by Suga feat Suran. And Suga produced songs We Don’t Talk Together by Heize and Wine by Suran. Thank you! love your reaction vids! 💜
So proud of Suga 💜 yeah IU’s pretty and her voice... if I am to describe it... it’s sweet and innocent 💜 their voice suit each other💜I hope you look for Suga’s other works (wine, song request, we don’t talk together, suga’s interlude)I love and is still excited every time suga whispers “suga” before his rap.
Iu is artist with multi talented. Very good singer, actress. Her last korean drama is : Hotel de Luna. And you know what DT, she is Jungkook Bias... The one and only 😍 Your analysis very good. I like it.
Like it or not, first time I knew her was coz of JK once mentioned about her. But I didn't pay so much attention about her at all. But suddenly I fell in love with her last year, after I watched her on KDrama. She was so good in that drama called My Mister. I said, waaaowww... She's good actress. And then I started to pay attention about her voice... and she also has very good voice. And gorgeous too. Whole package...(I can see it, JK..lol) So yes, I love her...I love this song....
Love your reaction, as always. Iu is good looking for the camera because she is actually an actress. I admire her as actress, not as singer(but i know that her songs are good). Anyway, Suga was implied in the following section regarding this song : lyrics, composition, arrangement, piano, synthesizer and the final production. And yes, Suga is already considered a super producer in Korea. he won awards as a producer, he have more than 90 songs produced and arranged by him. Also he produce the most of the BTS songs. Is not an easy task to produce for BTS.
I love her so much too.. Ive known her since dream high 1 , My Big brother loves her too.. She Lost 3 of her close friends.. Jonghyun, Sulli and Ara... Its been so hard for her but she still remain strong and getting stronger everyday.. We are so proud of her.. We love you too DT PARKER! 💜💜💜🇵🇭
She's a huge solo artist in Korea and she's been in the industry for more than 10 years. This song is very meaningful and I'm sure people will explain it to you. Plz react to IU BBIBBI.
When I read the lyics for the first time, the first person I thought was Jonghyun from SHINee who committed suicide a few years ago. His death shook me to the core and on the day I found out, I kept apologizing to him for not being to able to do anything when he was alive. Sulli was my bias in her group f(x), and Hara was my bias in her group KARA. Their deaths impacted me so much, and I cannot even imagine how IU could have handled loosing 3 of her precious friends. A collaboration with Yoongi is brilliant. Yoongi himself have faced so many challenges in his past, that he was able to move on and grow from. Meanwhile IU started her career when she was so so young. Being the same age, I feel that the both of them can feel a special connection with one another.
IU is a great singer and she can relate to BTS cause she also went through hardship in her life. And I feel for her since her best friend died last year from suicide because people where just so bully. She was a famous kpop singer. And it really effected her alot.
I am really impressed that you were able to understand some of the overall meaning for her song and MV and I like your reactions with a class! Welcome to the IU world and you should check out her songs since she is one of the most popular and respected singer in Korea at such a young age. She writes and produces her own music and also an awesome actress! All her songs and MV have deep meaning. I’ve watched all her dramas and listen to her songs every day and BTS loves her also. Looking forward to watch your reactions to IU!
IU is HUGE in Korea. She's the only one able to compete with BTS on the charts bc the public loves her. And I agree, she's really talented. She's an amazing actrice as well
IU has a series of songs about the different stages in her life (the age series). The first is 23, the second is Palette (when she was 25) and now eight is when she is 28 (same age as yoongi !!!). She said that she is gonna remember her 28 as a year of longing for the orange tinted memories of the past, it's really sad to be honest :(. IU is incredibñe she has sooo many songs i love and she is the most popular artist inside of korea. I always dreamed of a collab with her and yoongi and it delivered, the press release said that they met as same age musician with a similar mindset towards life so the collab came really easy for both of them and it is absolutley killing the charts
You should watch her Making video. It will answer some of these questions. She said the title is Eight because she is 28 this year and so is Suga. And per previous songs referenced her age and what she experienced during that age. But some fans theorize that the number 8 is the infinity sign when turned, and its also a set of eyes when you turn it, much like the way the MV started.
![[Dear Name] 191124 IU live Tour - Love poem](/img/1.gif)
You were right, this song was most likely dedicated to close friends that she's lost. In the last few years she's lost 3 close friends to suicide, because of the unnecessary hate and pressure they received from the public.
The lizard that turns into a dragon in the video represents one of those friends named Jonghyun, who was a part of the group Shinee, and sadly passed away a few years ago. He was also really close with Taehyung, and many people mourned his death. People say he was represented this way because he was known for being a huge fan of the pokemon charmander. The girl in white who ends up on the back of the dragon is speculated to represent the 2 other people she lost, Sulli and Goo hara, who were lost last year because of the amount of hate they received from the public. IU is most likely the girl in the plane, who cries while smiling while looking out the window seeing how happy they are in the afterlife, and her tear in the real life counterpart could represent that she's found some sort of closure.
Overall a really good song, IU and Suga were said to have both contributed a lot to the production, finding themselves to work really well together because they had a lot in common. You're one of the few people who I've seen react to this song so far who understood the implications of this song, thank you so much!
Edit: thank you for the likes! I’m glad I was able to bring the meaning of this song to more people.
Hope he sees this!
Wow... This is just heartbreaking
You have to read this!!
Thx for this. Makes alot more sense and seems so much more emotional to me now.
Im realllly about to cry rn
IU has been in the industry for many many years as she started at a really young age. Her real name is Lee Ji-Eun and she is the same age as Suga. She is also an actress and I love her latest drama recently called ‘Hotel De Luna’. Do watch it if you have the time. She’s also a very well respected singer in Korea.
We believe this song is dedicated to her really close friends in the Kpop industry who took their own lives. They are Jonghyun (from SHINee), Goo Hara & Sulli. Jonghyun took his life in 2017 and the other 2 girls took theirs last year. If you know this back story here of her losing her close friends, this song hits differently when you read the lyrics again.
As she asked “are you happy now...” and saying to see them in her beautiful memories.
Also Jonghyun was known as an amazing vocalist. Do check out his solos if you can.
I also agree with you that Suga is the right person to collab with IU for this song.💜
Also some fans have interpreted that the lizard that turn into a dragon represents Jonghyun because he was known to like the character Charmander. And the anime girl in white that you paused at 9:11 could very much represent Sulli or Goo Hara.
That's what some fans have felt it could have represented.
I didn't even think of that.. your comment almost me cry. It makes so much sense.
Bro.... You Just.... I can't... 😔
that line : forever young hit me the most , they were all very young , their life was really short.
hanana na yeah😔
The title '8" potentially has 3 meanings...
One: April 8th is Jonghyun's Birthday
Two: Sulli and IU were friends for 8 Years
Three: The number "8" is also a symbol for Infinity/Forever - Forever Young
Jonghyun, Goo Hara and Sulli were very close friends with IU, all were victims of suicide.
or it could have all of those meanings at once
Agent Miracle wouldn’t she be 29 though.
@@tralaiabell9073 IU was born in 1993, the same year as Suga, by Korean age she is 28.
Andrea Dryer Korean age is counted 2 years
@@tralaiabell9073 Actually it's only two years before their birthday after their birthday it is a single year. When they are born they are 1 and when the year changes they gain a year to their age. IU is 26 almost 27 by western age, on her birthday she will not gain a year in Korean age as her age is set by the year.

I love IU, she’s an amazing singer and an actress

Songwriter also 💜💜💜💜
IU: The Queen
Suga: The King
Song: A MASTERPIECE ✨
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL SONG 🥺🥺 I'M CRYING 😭😭 💙💜
you dont know iu? iu is the most popular soloist in korea. after releasing a song called "good day" she's called south korea's little sister bcs of her amazing vocal skill and triple high notes in that song and became the most listened soloist there. she also has a stable and active fanbase. everytime she has a comeback her songs are always at the top of the charts, just like bts but bts is more known outside than her. her songs are always stays with bts's songs, and you know what? they did a collab. if you see the chart diagram you'll be shocked lmaooo they literally broke charts everywhere after 5 mins the song released. she's also an actress that acts, her drama's genre are so cool such as historical drama, fantasy, etc. "scarlet heart" and "hotel del luna" r my favs. and also a drama called dream high, she acted with suzy from miss a.
In Korea not America. Give him a break. Now he knows how good IU is.
He is American, even some kpop groups are unknown there lol. Especially for non kpop/kdrama fans, mostly just know Top Group like BTS & Blackpink. But of course BTS is already a powerhouse name in US.
IU is the most popular soloist in Korea. She is loved and adored by the general public and has been around since 2008. She has the most number one hits on the Gaon Music Chart in Korea. She also writes a produces a lot of her songs. She also acts and was the lead in the drama "Hotel Del Luna" last year which was the highest rated tvN drama last year.
IU has a number of songs that she calls the "Age" series and this is one of them. The "Eight" is for her age, 28, as Koreans count age. Her birthday is this month and Suga's was in March. After her birthday, they will be the same age.
psychokitty71 is palette one of the songs in this series?
They're already the same age. Both are 93 liners.
Laiminh Mabulay yes
I think the 8 is also used as the symbol of infinity or "forever" in this case :)
@@laiminhmabulay7529 Yes. "Twenty-three" and "Palette" are the other two songs in the series.
About the song meaning, what she actually said in an interview was “if my previous songs were in the form of essays where I talked to the listeners directly, ‘eight’ is like a short novel where I confess my 28 using a fictional character ‘you’ and many metaphors.” She adds, “I’m not sure whether this is coming from my personal sentiment, the general atmosphere of the society that is struggling through hard times due to the disaster, or both, but I feel like my 28 will be remembered as a repeated feeling of helplessness and lethargy and the longing for the ‘orange island’ where we were not sad and were able to feel free.”
This song made me cry! It’s so beautiful 💜 IU and Yoongi wrote the lyrics, Yoongi was the lead producer and played the piano and synth for the track
Just a side note about IU, she's an amazing singer. She's the most popular, most respected soloist in Korea. She's also an actress.Even people who aren't her fans like her and have respect for her. She's considered as the nation's pride, just like BTS💜
This is a very emotional song. It's almost like a tribute to the losses of the kpop industry, like Jonghyun, Sulli, Goo Hara... 💜 IU's vocals and Suga's melodious rap. This is a masterpiece
JK is a fan of her for so long, and of course he got taste! 🙈 And our Min PD never fails to amaze us everytime! 💜
IU herself is a successful woman in her career on the music industry and as an actress as well. Now u know how she could act so well :v 💜 As far as I know, IU has even been in the music industry longer than BTS, around 2008...?
IU is one of the DIGIMONs (Digital Monsters) as well... 🙈 So this collaboration is basically a creation of Double Digimons 💜🙈
Anyway, LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, ALWAYS 💜
Fact about IU:
Full name ( Lee Ji Eun ) IU and Yoongi are born in the same year (1993). #93liners. IU was the most Respected and well known Female Artist in Korea. Her unique voice is one of the reason that gain her popularity.
Korea named her "Digital Monster Queen" & "Korea's Little Sister" because everytime IU released a single/album, she can crashed all Korean Chart. She is the only Korean Artist that has many record of PAK "Perfect All Kill" in all daily topping chart in Korea.
She is also an Actress and role in Many leading drama and Movies.
IU is actually famous in ASIA.
Also, IU is the moat awarded Female Artist in korea.
She's like the "Taylor Swift" of Korea.
Little Fact: Jungkook has an admiration towards IU. He mentioned it before that his ideal tyoe is IU. Our kookie is blushing so bad for IU haha.
Love your reaction 💜💜
Nice!
true
IU is definitely interesting, that's for damn sure. She's a fantastic artist and her songs are full of meaning.
IU also had a heavy hand in the songwriting and composition. Suga served as a producer but also lent his vocal for the track. he also has done the beats in the track. And I believe the melody as well. I know after the song's release he would not listen to it because he says he knew he would hear things that he could have done better. Love the lyrics and the beats/ music. The done a great job.
SUGA THE BEST PRODUCER 💅🌹
THE BEST ARTIST
SUGA GENIUS 🌻
Im pretty sure this song is about the kpop stars we lost. For example sulli and so many others who took their Iives. And I think she says forever young because they took their lives at a young age so they are forever young.
exactly. that line forever young hit hard.
that girl is our golden maknae ideal girl.im not even suprise. she has it all. the beauty, the talent, kind, everything! so, even though I'm a jk stan but an OT7 I will never regret loving IU.periodt.
This song made me cry so hard!😭
Fun facts: IU is an actress and she has already had her own short-series on Netflix called "Persona".
IU is one of the most successful solo singers in Korea, she is called "National sister" by the Koreans
And not to forget that Jungkook is a big fan of her, his first ever music album bought by himself was from IU
Collab of the year!! I love this song so much, the meaning behind it is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Yoongis soft rap matches so well with IUs angelic vocals💜
You love symbolism and love a hidden message in music. IU is also great at expressing deeper meanings in her songs
Eight represents her 28 year.. she released 28 + 28 = 56 on May 6th. 8 flipped on its side represents infinity which means they have unlimited time when they see each other again later. There was a reference to an island which means that is their happy place of memories away from everyone. The happy scenes are memories of her time with her friends back then. The sci fi mechanism is supposed to record her memories. In the end scene where she smiles a bit, she is happy that her friends are at peace and the plane symbolizes her moving on.. then she paused and then gives that stern look at the camera which is a message to those haters a "are you happy that they are gone?" and being defiant. Deep video.. sad and brilliant writing and lyrics. Enjoy. This was an emotional video for IU and she tries to remember her 3 friends.
Iu lost the most precious friend of her's because of the people who didn't know what loss meant.Iu made this for her memories to with her friends so she could remember the good days she spent with them.Yoongi suffered depression so he is also recalling those times when he was not.The loss he also felt.
Throught this collab they showed us what they felt their loss.
I really appreciate your careful insight when reacting to videos. It really shows your genuine interest. Thanks for another great video and yes Yoongi is and will continue to have great impact in the music industry. He is truly talented and with equally amazing IU, is definitely a super combo 💜
I U is someone to check out. She's been in the game forever. I got into Kpop around 2010 and I U was already a very well established singer and actress, even though she was so very young. I think she debuted in (2006-2007?). She's been through A LOT and has suffered the loss of three of her best friends in recent years. She remains so sweet and humble, despite the dark side of fame. I think she is so very talented and graceful. Def THE OG Queen and is admired and respected by her peers. Eight is her favorite number, BTW and has symbolic meaning for her friends that have passed. Eight years of friendship with Sulli (RIP) and JJong was born on 4/8. I'm not sure how it connects to Goo Hara, but on the side, it is the infinity symbol, so in her memory, her friends will be "forever young" and now that they're together, hopefully (and finally) happy. It is a very difficult song and video to listen to and watch because it will never be enough time elapsed to "get over" such senseless losses in Kpop.
IU is not only one of the most respected artists because of her fantastic voice, but she is also writes her own songs. She is also a popular actress.
I like when you read and understand the lyrics before watching MV.
You will understand what they want to give to us.☺️
IU is one of the most respected singer song writer in korea and amazing actress. Her lyrics and Suga's rap such an amazing and great combination. This song is sad. Sorrow of losing our love ones like friends and family. She also write this #Eight for becoming 28 of age. She wrote her songs based on her own or other people experience. I love how she express her emotions through her lyrics how she deeply expresses them. I love this collaboration. 😍❤😍
Her voice so calming so soft but with impact! ❤
I am Army but I love & respect IU so much. She is very talented. I absolutely loved this collab with Suga. This was one of the best collab for me. I love this song. Both Suga & IU 93 are liners.
IU is very respected in Korea, she is in the industry for a long time and has a lot of popular songs. Jk has a huge crush in her and he is also a big fan of her. 💜💜
(Sorry for my bad english)
Both IU and BTS are greatly respected especially in South Korea, so this is a really special collab!!
IU is a very talented woman and a very genuine artist. she produces and writes her own song and is one of the most successful and famous artist in South Korea
Oh dear- what I love about this collab is that it’s so symbiotic. BTS is so global and IU is LITERALLY the Queen of Korean music industry (biased opinion but it’s pretty accurate). This collab is earth-shattering. Hail the Kings and QUEEN. So happy for her- I’m ARMY through and through but IU undeniably a Queen and I was floored to the point of tears when I heard the news- IU deserves as much producing credit when international BTS ARMYs learn about her and this collab. Absolutely HISTORIC.
IU is an amazing actress too this girl is full of talent , please react to her songs Palette and Ending scene
Lee Jieun a.k.a. IU is literally one of the most respected artist in Kpop. A lot of idols look up to her. She can sing (literally a vocal queen), she's songwriter and can produce her own songs as well, and she's a well-known actress in Korea. Please react more from her!😊
(You're right this is dedicated to her friends that had passed away. Jonghyun and Sulli, which was the dragon/lizard and the animated girl in the white dress. She's strong❤😭)
Yes more IU reactions please. Her voice is one of a kind. She is another artist with an underdog story.
I just want to put this out that this song doesn't fully showcase IU's singing prowess. She's really very talented. She's South Korea's darling, and rightfully so. The girl has vocal chops and acting skills. Every song she puts out automatically gets number 1 in Korean music streaming platforms. You could say she's a household name in Korea.
She has actually starred in several kdramas. The first few you could see she was learning, getting the hang of it, but in the latest one of hers that I've watched (Hotel del Luna), she was phenomenal. She has a great personality too! I just love her so much 💕
The girl in airplane is IU. And the girl with the dragon is her friend who deceased last year. And the dragon is her friends too (male friend) who also deceased in 2018.
The name of girls is Sully, and the dragon is Jonghyun. They all a singer. You can search by internet who are them.
DT, SHe is as popular in Korea as Taylor Swift in the USA, That's how popular she is...
You should react to "You and I", "above the time" and "Blueming" by IU. These 3 songs tell a beautiful and sad story
IU is so cool, she has a beautiful voice, she is a talented actress and such a cutie.i really like IU, especially after watching the drama "Hotel Del Luna", her acting is so gorgeous. The lyrics of the song are so beautiful and Yungi’s party is very cool. I fell in love with this song. I heard that Yungi was the producer of this song, also a composer, took part in arranging and even played the piano. He is super talented.
IU and SUGA is perfect for this, they are both 28 this year and the song is about letting go and acceptance. They are both on the plane representing their present self, while the animated girl outside represents her childhood. Letting go of past hardships and accepting ourselves in the present.
3:53 - YEP! that's how I describe him and his style of Rapping all the time! "Tough yet sensitive and emotional".
I can't listen to this song without crying.Jonghyun's passing hit me really hard and I've changed to some extent (for the better)as a person and I'm still changing. I mourned his passing for a long time and I'm still working on healing.
After his passing I've decided to do what I've always wanted,career wise. A lot has changed for me since that tragic incident so when I've found out about Sulli it took me back to that time I found out about Jonghyun. This song is so overwhelming to be but I love it.
Yes. She must be on the list. She has so many great songs to listen to. Everyone loves her because of her talent and personality. It’s the combination of my favorite things, IU and Yoongi. And BTS of course. Thank you for the reaction 💜
Suga has been a good producer, he collaborated with a lot of artist and some of it is he is the one who produced the song. Little background about IU, she's a singer-songwriter and an actress that's why she got really a nice expression and good in camera. She's also a Nations Little Sister in korea, one of the most respected artist in SK she's a chart bullies too like BTS that's why this collab is the most awaited because of these two amazing artist her songs are really amazing you should probably check it out!. I want to recommend also to listen to Winter Flower by Younha ft. RM and also Chicken Noodle Soup by Jhope ft. Becky G.
IU was JK's ideal girl..
Hearing and understanding the lyrics of the song.. this reminds me of her friends who ended their life because of the harsh society.. the first lyrics: "looking happy / are you happy now?" She probably asks it whenever she remember them..
Suga on the other hand will be a big player in the music industry..
Thank you💜💜💜💜 Asian Music Award Shows are going to be very interesting this Year with BTS Album MOTS:7, RM collab with Younha, Suga's collab with IU, V Kdrama OST , and BTS starting to working on an entire album by themselves, and it isn't even half way through the year yet...and that just BTS. TXT has a comeback that has mind boggling teasers already, MCND and Cravity debuting and so many other groups making comebacks
S.O.S 😱
lol all my thoughts. there is a possibility jk and tae release their mixtapes too . and there is some big comebacks in June . 2020 was like no one could do anything cuz of quarantine and still a big year in kpop, so yeah.
@@hananana1155 I know and it is overwhelming...we are not even 6 months into this year...i can only imagine what else is yet to come...
Suga can take care the pain of you/he can change the pain to happiness that why his my one and only bias
Please do put IU in your list! She's one of the most revered, if not the most revered, solo artist in Korea. She may not be as well-known as idol groups internationally, but she is a living legend in Korea, and to most kpop fans who have been around for a while as well. In Korean charts, her songs always skyrocket to the number one spot and breaks records in just a few hours, a feat only she and BTS have been able to consistently accomplish for the past few years. She's a true artist, and you will feel her heart and soul in her songs. You have great perception, so I'm sure you'll really appreciate her and her work!
IU is a queen. She debuted in 2007 and very very very well known in Asia. Every single song that she released is a BOP and slayed music charts. She has a unique style and charm in her music. Not only having such an angelic and powerful vocal, she is a very talented songwriter and composer as well. She has won grand prizes for this category. You should definitely check out her music. It would be a shame for not knowing her after getting into Kpop. Besides, Suga has done a fantastic job again. You're right, he is going to be a big music producer soon.
Here is some theories:
This song is about her best friends who have passed away, Sulli and Jong-Hyun. These two are both kpop artists. Sadly, they're not here with us anymore. You can do more research about it if you want. The future vs. past, it looks like IU is reminiscing all her memories with her friends. IU in the plane looking outside through the window may represent that she is seeing her friends leaving her and going up to the sky (passed away). The plane is like the real world that IU is still in. Yes, it's a very harsh and full of struggles (the storm you see in the mv). The girl with white dress running in the jungle and riding the dragon may represent Sulli. Even the visual looks like her. While the lizard/dragon could represent Jonghyun, who loved the Pokemon Charmander. There is a significant difference between the animated girl on the plane and the dragon girl is the mole on the cheek. Only girl on the plane has it. At first I believed it's IU because of the mole. But after I did some research, I found out that Sulli has the mole at the exact same place too. So that threw me off a little bit. But I still stick with IU being the one in the plane because she seems very sad, she was crying as watching her friends leaving her. The lyrics "so are you happy now?" is IU asking her friends if they are happy now after deciding to leave this world? The dragon girl smiling the whole time, I guess Sulli may be finally happy? There are a lot of theories about the title "EIGHT". April 8 is Jonghyun's birthday. Some fans say that it's 8 years since IU and Sulli became friends. If you turn "8" side way, it's "infinity" (a transition in the mv) which means "forever/never end", which means IU will never forget her friends and the memories about these firendships will always exist.
This song is so meaningful, wholesome, yet so sad even though it's so upbeat and full of hopeful/bright vibe. The sound effects on her voice during "So are you happy now" somehow broke my heart.
Easter eggs/theories (mostly of the jonghyun/hara/sulli and memory theory):
-from a little source apparently there was an mc from music bank I believe or broadcast where they asked sulli about her happiest moments and her reply was : "I was never happy" thus the first lyric is reference to if she is now in a better place
-8 In reference to forever in eternity, April 8 is also jonghyuns bday, and the 8 yrs of friendship as well as 28 being both iu and sugas age as the reminisce memories
-lizard: goo hara had a very unique nickname. It was iguana. U can see the iguana leaving yet being able to crawl into the airplane window to meet one last time before the storm
- girl in the white: she reminded me of sulli bc of the mole
-dragon= jonghyun was very interested in charmander.
-ending is would u like to erase your memories. Meaning although they have left this world she can move on but always remember them
A wonderful collab!! These two are just heaven together! Not enough good things to say about it!
She's an actress, most of her drama are on netflix
if you want melo My mister best for you, if fantasy Hotel de luna or just a musical Dream High was the best option, if you want to cry scarlet heart was major heartbreaker but I don't know if its on netflix but Its the best.
All her drama
She the star before BTS debut
IU is not well known internationally, but she is very famous and loved in Korea, always hitting the kcharts #1
You're right the song is apparently dedicated to his friends who died, (Sulli and Jonghyun). The girl in white and the lizard that turns into a dragon are symbolisms of her friends. Although it is only a theory.
IU...😍 love this girl! And Suga being so tender. This is a keeper!
I am ecstatic that DT is being introduced to IU now! I am glad she is on your list, DT. This is only one of her vocal colors. Wait until you hear her ballads.
IU is sooo good at live, ahe is one of the best singer among the female artists.. I love her bodyguard too😂
IU is a Singer/Actress whom Jungkook named as his "perfect ideal girl type" during an interview. She herself had suffered depression/weight loss and is recovering well . Also she is highly respected and gives generously several monetary donations for worthy causes.
IU is also an actress. When you mentioned Netflix, check out her drama there: "Hotel Del Luna".
Yeah and scarlet heart reo too.
This music is about two of k-popp's idols who commit suicide and they were friends with IU. The girl in the movie is sulli and the dragon is jonghyun.
and after their suicide, the hater said that the third person would be suga.
This song is very valuable and shows how strong the suga is
This song hits hard.
A beautiful masterpiece of IU and Suga.
I love the way you analyze a work, very detailed and empathetic, understanding almost the entire content of the song!
another meaning of details:
8 means horizontally the symbol of infinity (forever)
both of them is 28 yo. (IU and Suga)
28+28= 56 (5/6 release date of the music.
the 3 Facial Expression she made means
1st-shes not happy (mad) that she woke up frm like a good dreams as if she never wnated to wake up)
2nd- little smile as if accepting and realizing that her lost friends were happy to wherever they are now.
3rd-blank stare as if asking those people, things that implicate the death(suicide of her late friends) asking them, "if they are happy now that 3 of her friends passed away. "...
I was really really heartbroken learning abt her late friends. 💔😭But anyway, this song was also good.. sounds like giving hope vibes. And as Army, so proud of SUGA! great job indeed.. 💜💜💜🇵🇭
*Persona* film with IU, she is really good actress and sure perfect singer ❤️#we're UENA💞
IU... a beautiful solo artist who became sooo popular and well respected in kpop world because of her amazing talent..a great composer and producer..she wrote most of her sonģs receives so many awards as a composer...album making of.the year..and she is also an award winning actress...please chck her songs...so beautiful..
Yehey im so happy that your gonna react to IU soon..Good day and through the night is one of the best IU song.thats why jungkook adore IU for long long time because shes so talented and beautiful as well.thank you so much
Another beautiful songs featured or produced by Suga:
Lee Sora ft. SUGA *'Song Request'*
Heize ft. Giriboy *'We Don't Talk Together'* (Prod. by SUGA)
Suran ft. Changmo *'Wine'* (Prod. by SUGA)
Beautiful lady wonderful singer. First came across her in the drama Moon Lover's. I think it was her first acting gig or one of her first and she knocked it out of the park. She seems very real and grounded, and is extremely popular in Korea. And I for one think she and JK belong together and should have lots of babies 😊.
FYI. She used to be (maybe still?) Jungkook’s big time crush. He could openly declare his love but would freeze up and shy away in person. How freakin cute!
Dude, you are one for the first reactors of this song that I saw who really understood the meaning behind the song and the MV. It's a beautiful song, IU is amazing and SUGA is a genius. This song was so different from IU's pervious tracks, IU has always been an amazing singer, the fact she is JK's ideal woman (in terms of music :P ) says it all. :)
IU is one of the greatest solo female singer in South Korea... She is an actress too... I love to watch her in her K-drama... One of her great k-drama is "Hotel Del Luna"... It's one of my favorite K-drama...
Oh.. one more thing... IU is Jungkook favorite female singer and his ideal woman type..
Suga produced songs for other singers too. Check out “Wine” with Suran, and “We don’t talk together” with Heize. He has already won an award for producing “Wine”. 😊😊😊
IU is a solois before Bts debut, and she is an aktris also. she's very beautiful girl and Jungkook is IU big fans 😁 I dont know many about IU song but I like her 💜
IU write lyrics with so much metaphor😉and she's an actress too😊 watch her BBIBBI and Blueming, everything, from colors to hair pins, hyenas, whatever there is in the video has symbolism😂 it's part of her age series songs by the. Twenty-three to Palette and then Eight. I think she has something with colors too😂 Chat-Shire, the color is purple, Blueming for Blue, autumn morning for green, Eight and Last night story for orange, Red shoes and Red Queen for Red and BBIBBI for yellow, it's a disstrack by the way😂thank you for reacting😊
Wow you're the first person that really really makes me want to watch your videos more bc you are not just react bc it is on trend but you feel in the song. 😊
she is also and actress. You can watch her recent kdrama Hotel Del Luna ❤️
iu is an amazing artist, who has been in this industry for a long time, since she was very young, her work is perfect, you can take a look at blueming the official MV
IU is really legend and great singer songwriter
Suga wrote the lyrics with IU, composed, produced, he was also behind the piano and synthesized. Suga was the first BTS member who was in the official list of the producers/songwriters of Korea Music Copyright Association which only have few members in it wayback. Please react to So Far Away by Suga feat Suran. And Suga produced songs We Don’t Talk Together by Heize and Wine by Suran. Thank you! love your reaction vids! 💜
I think most lyrics are written by IU and SUGA wrote the rap part
와클재생산촉구협회원 yeah could be. its just a beautiful song. i can’t with these two, theyre both so talented ☺️
Tbh, you the most intelligent reactor to every kpop songs.... you know how to analyse and put it straight for smart people to understand. 👍👍👍
So proud of Suga 💜 yeah IU’s pretty and her voice... if I am to describe it... it’s sweet and innocent 💜 their voice suit each other💜I hope you look for Suga’s other works (wine, song request, we don’t talk together, suga’s interlude)I love and is still excited every time suga whispers “suga” before his rap.
Iu is artist with multi talented. Very good singer, actress. Her last korean drama is : Hotel de Luna.
And you know what DT, she is Jungkook Bias... The one and only 😍
Your analysis very good. I like it.
7:59 YES DT U R RIGHT
Like it or not, first time I knew her was coz of JK once mentioned about her. But I didn't pay so much attention about her at all.
But suddenly I fell in love with her last year, after I watched her on KDrama. She was so good in that drama called My Mister. I said, waaaowww... She's good actress. And then I started to pay attention about her voice... and she also has very good voice. And gorgeous too. Whole package...(I can see it, JK..lol)
So yes, I love her...I love this song....
Love your reaction, as always. Iu is good looking for the camera because she is actually an actress. I admire her as actress, not as singer(but i know that her songs are good). Anyway, Suga was implied in the following section regarding this song : lyrics, composition, arrangement, piano, synthesizer and the final production. And yes, Suga is already considered a super producer in Korea. he won awards as a producer, he have more than 90 songs produced and arranged by him. Also he produce the most of the BTS songs. Is not an easy task to produce for BTS.
I love her so much too..
Ive known her since dream high 1 , My Big brother loves her too..
She Lost 3 of her close friends..
Jonghyun, Sulli and Ara...
Its been so hard for her but she still remain strong and getting stronger everyday..
We are so proud of her..
We love you too DT PARKER!
💜💜💜🇵🇭
She's a huge solo artist in Korea and she's been in the industry for more than 10 years. This song is very meaningful and I'm sure people will explain it to you. Plz react to IU BBIBBI.
Another great reaction, DT! You're just the best!
i've been her fans since 2011 and his fans since 2014 now im happy
When I read the lyics for the first time, the first person I thought was Jonghyun from SHINee who committed suicide a few years ago. His death shook me to the core and on the day I found out, I kept apologizing to him for not being to able to do anything when he was alive. Sulli was my bias in her group f(x), and Hara was my bias in her group KARA. Their deaths impacted me so much, and I cannot even imagine how IU could have handled loosing 3 of her precious friends. A collaboration with Yoongi is brilliant. Yoongi himself have faced so many challenges in his past, that he was able to move on and grow from. Meanwhile IU started her career when she was so so young. Being the same age, I feel that the both of them can feel a special connection with one another.
IU is a great singer and she can relate to BTS cause she also went through hardship in her life. And I feel for her since her best friend died last year from suicide because people where just so bully. She was a famous kpop singer. And it really effected her alot.
I am really impressed that you were able to understand some of the overall meaning for her song and MV and I like your reactions with a class! Welcome to the IU world and you should check out her songs since she is one of the most popular and respected singer in Korea at such a young age. She writes and produces her own music and also an awesome actress! All her songs and MV have deep meaning. I’ve watched all her dramas and listen to her songs every day and BTS loves her also. Looking forward to watch your reactions to IU!
IU is HUGE in Korea. She's the only one able to compete with BTS on the charts bc the public loves her. And I agree, she's really talented. She's an amazing actrice as well
Iu n Suga is briliant. Both are my favorite. But you DT.....,
you are genious..!!! Both of you 3 are my favurite..
7:53 being the only guy who got that part right for the first listen to the song
IU has a series of songs about the different stages in her life (the age series). The first is 23, the second is Palette (when she was 25) and now eight is when she is 28 (same age as yoongi !!!). She said that she is gonna remember her 28 as a year of longing for the orange tinted memories of the past, it's really sad to be honest :(. IU is incredibñe she has sooo many songs i love and she is the most popular artist inside of korea. I always dreamed of a collab with her and yoongi and it delivered, the press release said that they met as same age musician with a similar mindset towards life so the collab came really easy for both of them and it is absolutley killing the charts
You should watch her Making video. It will answer some of these questions. She said the title is Eight because she is 28 this year and so is Suga. And per previous songs referenced her age and what she experienced during that age. But some fans theorize that the number 8 is the infinity sign when turned, and its also a set of eyes when you turn it, much like the way the MV started.
