Yes, I'm a warrior. Fight me! 😉 Justice is part two of a two-part series, the first one is OOTD, which intentionally sounds very differently. There is also a lot of imagery about death and legendary figures like Valkyries or greek goddesses and legends. Reddit user PaintMeYaBasic has managed to identify these paintings in the MV: Hero by Edward Burne-Jones (from the tale of Hero and Leander), Valkyrie and a Dying Hero by Hans Makart, Hero and Leander by Salvator Rosa and finally "Justice" by Kenyon Cox in the center back. In the tale of Hero and Leander from Greek mythology, Hero is actually a priestess of Aphrodite (Venus in the Roman myths), so that is not the same as the hero who is taken from the battlefield by a Valkyrie in the other painting. But OOTD has the line "I'm Venus, Nephthys, call me a Goddess". It is likely there is a connection. While OOTD was about falling for the temptations of modern life and a satire on narcissism (especially influencers and fast fashion), I believe Justice is telling us to fight those temptations for a better world. It is a call to become a warrior for good in the world and fight the materialism that seems to be the most important thing for so many people in the developed countries. You can see JiU break the bonds that hold her down, and we should do the same. Please note that this is just my interpretation. Art can be interpreted in different ways, and other opinions are just as valid as mine. There are also many references to their older MVs in this. The paintings also have a deeper meaning in Chase me, there is a sword in Deja Vu and Scream, the bite into the apple is a callback to BEcause and the tree to the Dystopia trilogy - and so on. There are many more. The 8th figure in the end could also be JiU from Deja Vu, finally breaking the cycle of violence and leading to justice. Musically, I love the song. The guitars in the pre-chorus and chorus are pure heaven (just like Dongie with her wings). It has the right amount of heaviness for me, and it is an anthem and a call to action. I also love that they shortened the pre-chorus by two bars in the second half, throwing us into the chorus early. Justice is a brilliant, epic release, showing everyone that a group can still produce fantastic music and MVs after seven and a half years.
there are so many hidden lore + easter eggs in this mv that explaining the story & MV. I'll give some here: 1. Almost every scene = reference of all their previous MV (i think there is 30-50 clues along the mv) 2. It represent paralel world opposite of OOTD 3. There are 2 theories of tge 8th person at the end => the friend "guil" that sacrifice herself to help Dreamcatcher member during Jiu close her eyes scene / the fan that continue the story in the escape room game in Seoul
@@LAF258 yup check them back when you have time 🙂. But if your time is limited, for the easter eggs in JUSTICE MV, i think some insomnia already make compilation of all easter eggs in 1 youtube video -> i forgot the name of channel but i think you will find it easily
@@LAF258 yup. They are ROCKSTARS on stage. But suddenly become pure comedians when doing everything offstage coz they are so funny & chaotic 😅😅🤣. And if you really interested in knowing their history & 10years journey -> you will find that Dreamcatcher journey is 1 of the most unique journey that ever happend in kpop. From the Minx history, rebranding, the CEO keep his faith & standby, The SHOW controversy, the hate of rock music, Their chance to meet Thailand princess & the long awaited 1st win that they achieved after 5years. All is unique & create a strong bonds between fans+artist+even the company (with good&bad of their activities so far)

That would be main vocalist Siyeon ( she-yun) hitting the high note ad-lib harmony with Gahyun at the end.
Amazing.
