The cubes are trolls/ media. In the MV, she is deaf/mute, he is partially blind - it may seem there is no fathomable way these two can understand each other. This video is dedicated to artists, great Korean idols. The cube represents the Korean music and film industry, where every artist is under threat of social pressure, where one wrong move can ruin their careers, where they can be intimidated by the media and end their lives, living under stress and constant fear. Through the lens of a video camera, artists, idols of many, are beautiful and happy, but in real life they are very vulnerable. The Industry sucks all the juice out of them and then throws them away as if they were old and unnecessary clothes. In South Korea, the big music lobbies have a way of treating artists that is scary. If they see that they are good and successful, they take everything and more out of each of them, becoming ruthless. But when they have been exploited to the point of exhaustion, they leave them aside like broken toys. More than one artist has ended up committing suicide. Everything is very sad. At its end the trolls/ media come to consume another artist and fandom and discard it like a pile of clothes and IU is ready to fight but V (the fans) steps in front of her to defend her and their bond, but they are met with a bitter end. A sad reality every artist must face someday. She sheilds V's good eye to protect him from the inevitable. .😭😭😭😭
That was soo well said. Someone else mentioned something that I didn't notice to their level of detail...so if the scars they bare are their reality, whether actual or emotional, they are gone through the camera lens...but so is her lip piercing. Through the Lens she or they become presentable to their peers. JiHye was more emo/grunge in reality...or edgy but through the lens she is softer, angelic and generically approachable. TaeJoon remained mostly the same in personality but was transformed more physically to be received well. This is such an amazing short film.
IU hugged V, and IU touched his chest three times with her hand. This gesture signifies "I love you" in sign language. Knowing this makes me even more tearful
Oh, her voice seems to blend into the sound of the piano. As expected by all experts and fans, this is a masterpiece of a ballad. Thank you, Korea's number 1 solo artist IU, for bringing a masterpiece. in the cold days of the first months of the year.
the meaning behind her song is about IU character is deaf and taehyung's one eye is blind. That's why she uses sign language when they're eating and she cover taehyung"s left eye at the end to protect it. One theory that i saw, the couple represents aging people who are close to death and the cube represents in inevitable death. They were reminiscing their youth through the cam recorder which is all cheerful, bright and colorful. However, the reality is not as beautiful, when its time for you to go, you have to go. They spent their time together loving eachother until their last breath.
I think the scene in the banquet hall was really well done. When you see them through their perfect imagery they are able to face people wearing dark outfits (they are probably the people who points fingers, mock and harass the lead characters).
You made me cry again after watching you tear up. This MV has me in an emotional chokehold for the past two weeks....the song plays_I cry. The MV plays_I cry! But they did an amazing job portraying TarJoon and JiHye's final journey....together. I need a prequel MV from them...not even kidding.
A scene that's easy to miss 1. Why do the main characters mockingly throw VHS tapes at film photos? My interpretation is that the new system destroys the old system. Dilemma between conservatives and progressives, or in order for humanity to progress, the new generation must overcome the resistance of the old generation Therefore, the destruction of traditions or practices is inevitable. 2. Audience booing the visually impaired and hearing impaired people singing about love on stage I think it has a similar meaning to the cube. People do not accept differences and individuality. 3. Wedding dress and tuxedo A trite formality that proves the fruits of love The place they went, disappearing like smoke, is a place where there is no need for clichéd formalities. 4. In the last scene, IU’s right hand was strange, so I looked up Korean sign language. Close your right hand slightly and hit your chest 2~3 times = Dangerous 😭😭
Wow great observation. I love that this music video has so many details. I notice something new every time I rewatch it. There’s lots of metaphors and meanings in the mv. Thank you for sharing your interpretations.
Hello beautiful lady EliMarie ! Hello, I am Cemal from Turkey. First of all, your reaction to this magnificent video music is very beautiful and natural. Your comments are absolutely true and wonderful. Also, your eyes are incredibly beautiful because they are a reflection of your heart. I wanted to say this. This clip reminded me of Jack and Rose's love in the movie Titanic. It was really well constructed and the acting of IU and V was incredibly good. I think it will be the best video music of 2024. I can say that it is a candidate for an Oscar. I think this clip could be made into a movie like Titanic. Please let the producer and director think about this. It's an Oscar-worthy video. First of all, I congratulate IU and V for their amazing performance and wish them continued success. Of course, I wish you continued successful publications and I hope you stay happy and with love throughout your life. I wish you happy days ! 🙏🌺🙂

Wow that is a good analysis, there’s so many metaphors throughout the mv. It’s so sad. IU and V did a fantastic job in portraying the message.

😭 yes
The premise is that V is blind in one eye. And IU is deaf and mute. And the cube is "cleansing" the world of defective people.
That is so heartbreaking
Actually the cube are more like the "society"
Her voice is so majestic..❤❤
It definitely is ❤️
IU is gonna be incredible and very well produced and arranged especially when you're listening to the b side tracks
Какая прекрасная любовь какая химия между V и IU это прекрасно и трогательно одновременно.

I agree everything about it is a masterpiece, IU is a wonderful artist

They spent their time together loving eachother until their last breath.
That’s a good theory, IU is a wonderful storyteller and ‘Love wins all’ is so sad and the message the mv has is so deep
V amazing 😍
Yesss ❤
