When i saw your thumbnail i yelled out, "Noooooooooo!" Because i knew your heart was going to break. ...i gathered up my courage and watched your reaction anyway. Honestly, i appreciate the director's interpretation of the video's nuanced symbolism, but it is not as honest and emotionally insightful as your version. Every frame of IU and Tae was masterfully portraying their experience and i saw those phases of emotion thru your expressions. I was both heartbroken again for Tae and IU, but also for you! But then was comforted by the thought that you werent alone in your tears. You were crying with all of us. Through all of this you caught the bars, you immediately caught the storyline and with your words comforted us with your truths. Thanks again, Nisi, we do not deserve you, and we are grateful for you!
You know I’m crying again now right? Thank you for mustering up the courage to face it with me again 💜 Your words mean a lot. A LOT. I hope you know I’m so grateful for you too!
The song/singing and the directing /acting match perfectly. Everything is beautifully done, and pack a powerful punch. Thank you, IU and V, for such a wonderful gift.
the message is how our world will never run out of hate, discrimination, injustice and violence, but if we continue to love each other (e.g. IU with Uaenas), our love will see us through to the end. Our love will keep us together until we fade away. 🥲So instead of being able to escape, they are fading together. Face what is scary with someone you trust and see things beautifully as long as you are with someone you love. This is Jieun's song for UAENAS 🥹 her fans. V is the representation of his fans. The cube is the representation of hatred or negative people who do not accept those who are different than them. In the mv there are many but they are alone. Hate will always be alone, although in great quantity, but love will always be accompanied and that is why it is stronger. Even though he often loses battles. V is blind in one eye because we fans don't see or know everything that happens with her, but she will be our guide and that's why she takes him by the hand all the time, guiding him along a safe path. She is mute because she is often criticized for how she thinks and only sings when she is with her fans. Since she can say and be whatever she wants with us. Because we are that safe place in each other. In the part where she sings, the audience makes fun of her and asks her to come down. This refers to her debut, since many fans of other idols insulted her and asked her to leave. She doesn't pay attention to them, she just concentrates on you. That also refers to when in the "good day" era IU only had one fan at a music show and she only concentrated and was encouraged by the love of that fan. Getting married is the symbolism of the union rings 💍 that IU and her fans wear. The first to see IU's beauty IS V (HER FANS) THEN IU. That tells us that she realized that there are beings equally hurt by life who can see their inner essence in a beautiful way. That's why she sees V in such a bright light. And the end is how she sees life. It is not perfect, it is chaotic and discouraging, it will hit you without mercy, that is life. We will be happy in the dark moments being together. That is why although faceless people criticize them for their actions they do not give it importance. IU wanted to defend V (her fans) but IU knows that we would never let her face evil alone.
Great reaction Niecy! so I want to share with you what the Director shared: IU's music video for her pre-released track, 'Love wins all' was released on her official SNS channel at midnight between 23rd and 24th January and has become a hot topic. As soon as the video was posted, the unique video aesthetics of director Um Tae-hwa, who directed the passionate performance of IU and BTS V, resulted in 'nth viewing' (t/n: repeated viewing) by not just uaena, but music listeners as well Regarding the main keywords that led to the 'nth viewing', her agency released this interpretation guide and short interview with director Um Tae-hwa. 1. The "square" (t/n: cube) chasing after the main characters The identity of 'square', which relentlessly pursues the two of them, is the most divided among the fans (t/n: It is actually a cube, but calling it a 'square' is a more explicit way of describing a discriminatory world that only squares fit and not circles). Fans responded with various theories, such as, alien forces that have occupied the world", "zombies infected with a virus' and 'ghosts that cause odd phenomena (t/n:). 'Square' refers to the discrimination against the main characters and can also be interpreted as various kinds of discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in our daily lives. 2. The meaning behind the KEY ITEM, a 'camcorder' Next is the existence of a 'camcorder' that appeared in every promotion teaser. The time period background in the video is the present, but the scenes that are taken with the camcorder show a world that was intact before it became ruined. The lens of the camcorder represents a filter of love. It can also be viewed as an important device that can be used to see beautiful things in the world, beyond the internal and external appearances of characters. In the world within the camcorder, rather than their messy appearance in reality, they look lively and tidy and they eat delicious food that is nicely prepared for them and enjoy the happiness they have only imagined, while wearing glossy dresses and tuxedos. . 3. Outer appearance of the main characters The curiosity of Internet users exploded at the outer appearance of the main characters. There are many symbols in the music video, which show a 'survival story in a dystopian world, of those who cannot speak and those who only see the world with their left eyes. If you look closely at IU's lips, there is a small chain hanging there, which means that it is difficult for her to fully communicate with the world. V also has a white lens in his left eye, so even at a glance, it seems that the two of them will have many difficulties in navigating the difficulties of the world. Nevertheless, in a world ruined by the 'square', they have no choice but to rely even more on each other, as they try to overcome adversity until the very end, even when they are hurt and exhausted. 4. Why the wedding dress and tuxedo? Lastly, it is the wedding dress and tuxedo. IU and V chose a wedding dress and a tuxedo from the ruins. Here, a wedding dress and a tuxedo is the most clichéd way of symbolizing the 'fruit of love'. In the music video, the two of them put on these clothes, take pictures, sing and have fun together, doing things that have been difficult for them to do in their daily lives and enjoy some happiness momentarily. However, the 'square' eventually destroys their bodies, leaving behind only the 'clothes' they were wearing. The two are implied to be floating in the air on the last camcorder screen, which means they can fly freely, free from all kinds of oppression and pressure. Crucially, the dress and tuxedo falling from the sky also implicitly question whether conventions that are considered meaningful and important in real life actually really show the true essence of things.
I haven’t seen this director’s work before but now I know he’s a big deal in Korean filmmaking. You really could tell in how cinematically crafted this MV is. I appreciate you sharing his context. How he wove her lyrics and music into a story that fully showcased its meaning, beauty and power also shows through his thoughtfulness above. At least in my opinion 💜
@@DiaryOfAKPOPIntrovert I thoroughly agree with you. For the short amount of time they had to prepare this due to V's schedule, they came up with a masterpiece.
You are right. It's overwhelming because we care about IU and Taehyung as a person, and their superb acting makes it so believable that it hurts to the core. Be warned. It doesn't get any easier with more views. Punches are delivered every time.

Thank you, IU and V, for such a wonderful gift.
IU once said that there is no opposite to the word loneliness, so here she is inserting it into the lyrics, searching for the antonym to loneliness.
AMAZING

Thank you for suffering the blubber to hear what I had to say. And still enjoying it 🤣 I appreciate you subbing so 🙏🏾
i will definitely wait for your next reaction vids!! @@DiaryOfAKPOPIntrovert

I love how you describe this with V and his love as the representation of all of Uaenas and our love. So beautiful 💜

It's overwhelming because we care about IU and Taehyung as a person, and their superb acting makes it so believable that it hurts to the core.
