I'm just copy pasting an explaination I saw under another video: The Cube represents society, it is chasing every individual who doesn't fit the standards of society. Here V is half blind, IU is deaf and mute. So they are running from oppression of society. The world is controled by these standards of perfection to the point that people in the world put masks on when they don't have make-up or when they feel inssecure or they wear hats when their hair is messy. The MV is a dystopian view of our society. While they are trying to hide in this abondonned place filled with the clothes of people who died because of this oppression, they find a camera that allows them to have an illusion of what their lives could be if they were "normal" by society's standards, it starts with their looks, they could see how they would have looked like, then what they would eat, then they start to feel the illusion a bit too much to the point they beautifully imagine that IU could sing and V could sing as well and she could listen to his voice, they could marry each other and just have fun and eat whatever they want because they wouldn't have to care about society or any other kind of oppression. However, as soon as they feel a little bit of confort and try to live their life, the Cube (society) finds them again and push them to retreat and flee again, but the Cube managed to find them again, they try to survive against it and try to fight it as hard as they can, but they cannot beat a stronger system, they just give up but at least they stayed together until the end. Even if they died at the end, they loved each other deeply, it shows that even if society is oppressive, people can love each other and they can find their soulmate even if they are not "normal or perfect" to the eyes of some many others. The pile of clothes is like from Spring Day, these people died because of injustice, but they deserved love, so the pile of clothes can look very gloomy and sad, but as in Spring Day MV if you don't forget them you can seem them happy and free where they are right now...
For someone with no context to the artists or music genre to have such an emotional experience really shows how powerful this song is. Thanks for the honest reaction.
The behind-the-scenes studio recording session video was just as epic. IU was so sick while making the song that they joked about coughing up blood and dying during the recording session. She had caught the flu while filming the mv in sub-freezing temperatures.
Welcome to the amazing world of IU. One of the very best vocalist in the world today. She can make people feel more, happiest, excitment, sadness etc with her voice then any singer I have ever known and I have been around for a while. And she is able to do this when the person doesn't know what the song is about or know what the lyrics are. She is a generational talent. You may be inclined to say ah this guy is just a big fan and I need to take him with a grain of salt. That is exactly what others have said as well, until they took a little bit of time and actually looked into music. She debuted at 15 in 2008. She is in her 16th year as a singer. IU not only wrote the lyrics she also produced the MV. So the concept and story line are all her. It is an original work. It doesn't come from a movie or kdrama though many want it to become one. IU is also an outstanding actress. Having 7 kdramas, 3 movies and few other acting credits to her name with an 8th drama being released this year on Netflix. She is the female lead in 3 of kdrama's most popular shows Scarlett Heart, My Mister and Hotel Del Luna. The last 2 of which are currently available on Netflix. I have posted a few links to some of her Alice concert clips from her channel (they will not get blocked) below for your consideration. Thank you for your reaction. And know you are not alone in your reaction to IU's voice, not by a long shot.

I actually found a few reactors who did not cry. One was struggling but held it in, barely, and I bet they cried after turning off their recording equipment. That is a STRONG person with great control of themselves. The other two are emotionless psychopathic automatons who need to be put in long-term mental health care facilities because they were absolutely stone-faced the whole time. Something is REALLY wrong with them.
IU voice is full of emotions, she is expert at conveying sad emotions. Most people watching this are crying. Her voice, the melody, the storyline, the acting...all are so beautiful but heartbreaking. Amazing mv
You're not alone. I've cried every single time I've watched it! It makes me so emotional! It's a mixture of Ji-eun's vocals, the fall & rise of the music, the love story & loving Tae to pieces! 💜🥰
I know IU before but just became a big fan of hers last year. I watched one of her shows "My Mister" and I was in awe of how good she is as an actress so I decided to really delve into her music and now all I do is listen to her songs and watch any videos she's in. Her music just makes me happy and takes away my anxieties and stress. She's an icon.
My Mister is a masterpiece, not least because of IU's performance. One of the best TV dramas I've ever watched. The funny thing is that I almost dropped it after the first episode. I'm sure glad I didn't.
firstly, welcome to the IU rabbit hole. If you're willing to go down it, I promise you're in for something special. IU's probably the most successful soloist in South Korea and I think what you described 5:50 to 6:20 really says it best. She has this magic to capture emotions in her singing, which not many can do. Recently, she released a behind the scenes video of her recording this song on her official YT channel and she did it with a serious cold, imagine that. Would highly recommend more from her and happy to recommend more songs if you are interested.
If you can experience this video/song without crying, I would question your empathy as a human...thanks for sharing your experience with all of us...we're right there with you (even after watching/listening to it 100s of times now).
she is a soul singer. I teared up when i heard this song. the MV and her singing connected to me as if i know the true meaning of this song. it's really beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!
I love the MV so much. IU sings beautifully. She and V did an amazing job as actors as well. They sound beautiful together too. They sang a song called "Ending Scene". Such a pretty song, with her clear angelic voice and his deep smooth baritone.
IU can extract tears with her vocals even if you don’t speak Korean. Her MVs always tell stories in fascinating ways. She’s one of my favorite singers and your reaction was an unexpected treat.
IU has a charm in her voice that every time I hear it I feel like I'm under a spell that transmits a lot of calm and peace 💙 As for this MV, the truth is that it is inevitable not to cry when you see the story it tells while listening to that beautiful voice 😭
Welcome to IU's rabbit hole. Probably she is the only artist from South Korea in the list of "Top 200 Singers of All Time" done by Rolling Stone Magazine.
The universal languages of music and love bound together in a masterpiece short movie and delivered to us by a heavenly voice and an outstanding acting performance. Thank you very much IU and V.
Never heard of this group, but I was not expecting the video and song to hit that hall. I completely agree with your comment that I think singing with passion and emotion are far more important than tonal purity 99/100.
Beautiful choice and heartfelt reaction. IU is known as“Korea’s little sister” You should also check out her video Above the Time, spesial live clip with English subs. She has a few relationship themes over her career that span a few different videos many years apart as well.
There's no backstory! This is just a music video for IU's new song, with the man in the video being the member Taehyung/V from the band 'BTS' (you might've heard of them already even if you don't know much about Kpop, since they're known internationally). Such a great 5 minute short film that amazingly transcends language barriers and seems to even break the hearts of people who have zero context :') This was such a great and genuine reaction!
Actually, the director's movie "Concrete Utopia" was one of the inspirations for this music video, that's why they asked him to direct this one. IU wanted to film it on the set used by the movie, but it was no longer available
The male lead in this video is V from BTS. He recently released a solo album name Layover that is amazing. You should check it out. They both killed this video with their acting and IU sings beautifully as always.
IU is a very unique singer and is known as a national treasure in South Korea. She encountered financial difficulties in her family when she was a child, so she determined to become an "adult" who could support her own life earlier. Because she likes singing, she decided to be a singer. She hoped to connect the hearts between "I and YOU" through music with emotions, so she took the stage name "IU". Originally, she wanted to be a traditional ballad singer when she debuted, but because too young, she did not gain much attention from the public in that time(when she is only 15). Later, the entertainment company tried to package her as an idol singer and achieved great success (in the year she was 18). But when she became very popular with the public at the age of 21 with her beautiful appearance and cheerful personality, she decided to regain her original ambition and embark on a completely different path from ordinary Kpop......She remake songs more than 20-years-old, and re-introduced the popular culture of the previous generation to the younger generation, and received a very good response from public. From then on, Koreans no longer viewed her as an idol with only a sweet image, but instead viewed her with respect as a real "artist of music" who contributed to popular culture. In additional to her famous angelic voice just like moonlight, she is also known for her versatility and is an award-winning singer, music producer, lyricist, also a top-tier actress and model. She has many popular songs composed by herself. Because she has held the belief that "love will eventually win" for many years, she wrote the lyrics and produce the project herself, and specially asked the film director she had collaborated with to film this MV.(The directer won the 2023 Blue Gragon Films Award of Korea)
I REQUEST IU ALL THE TIME. ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMANS ON EARTH. FANTASTIC ACTRESS. SHE IS ALSO A POLICE OFFICER THROUGH HER WORK FINDING LOST PEOPLE AND BULLIED KIDS. HER STORY IS FULL OF HEARTBREAK. THERE ARE VIDEOS OF CELEBRITIES AND FANS CRYING ON SITE. Her ‘Hotel Del Luna’ kdrama is fantastic! PLEASE!!! REACT TO IU THE ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ CONCERT. SHE LOOKS LIKE A GODDESS
IU 'Love wins all' Track Intro by IU Someone calls this an era of great hatred. It certainly doesn't seem to be a time when love is prevalent. In a gray world that is growing colder with evident hostility and indifference, it feels absurd sometimes to hope that one can win with the invisible weapon of love. However, from my personal experience, even in its moments of triumph, hatred is always alone. On the other hand, no matter how it escapes, becomes broken or fades away, love is stubbornly together. Love has a good chance of winning. This song tells the story of those who try to love to the very end, in a world that prevents them from loving. By the way, for this album which contains five tracks, there are two songs which I dedicate to my loved ones, especially to my fans, and one of them is ‘Love wins all’. From the age of 18, when I suddenly received great love that changed my life overnight, until now - there hasn’t been a single day that I didn’t imagine it ending. It feels vaguely lonely, scary and I thought it was a natural thing to happen. However, upon thinking about that everyday for over a decade, my attitude towards it started to change little by little. Right now, it doesn’t scare me that much anymore. I don’t think I will feel greater regret nor loneliness when that moment comes. Above all, I don’t think it is coming anytime soon. The reason why I, a pessimistic child full of worries, was able to change this much in the meantime is because I have people who tirelessly reassured me every day for the past decade. Thanks to them, looking back, I have never been alone even just for a moment in my life as IU. To my diligent fans who have never left me alone, I want to express my gratitude for endlessly nurturing love in my inherently obstinate heart. Also, I want to say thank you so much for choosing to stay by my side for reasons that I still don’t fully understand. Just like what you have been for me, I also want to be someone who’s there for you in your rising and setting moments. To be the person beside you saying, “Don’t be afraid. Let’s fade away together most splendidly.”* - 2024.1 Jieun // (*t/l note: IU meant that no matter what happens, we’re in this together until the end.) EDAM Ent.: Starting off with a minimal and vintage piano intro and ending in a maximum outro, this ballad with a clear narrative arc continues IU's grand ballad series, which has been well-loved by fans, consisting of songs such as ‘Secret’, ‘Dear Name’, ‘Love poem’ and ‘My sea’. In the second half of the song, the vocals swirl as if in a battle and the instrumental arrangement is reminiscent of a grand symphony, maximizing the emotions conveyed. Rhythms that seem like they are floating in the sky and the harmony themes that build on them enhance the appeal of the 6/8 time signature and the strings that spread out and gently envelop the whole sound add to the breadth and depth of the song. If you follow IU's delicate vocal techniques, the harmony of a wide-ranging melody and the constant build-up, before you realize it, you end up focusing on the note sung by IU’s last breath at the very end.

Bisscute IU is a very very respectable and reputed singer from SOUTH KOREA. She has been active since the ave of 15 . It's been 16 years of her singing career. She is a queen. You SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK MORE OF HER SONGS! The male lead is V aka Kim taehyung of famous BOY GROUP BTS. You should check his solo album LAYOVER, or songs like SWEET NIGHT,CHRISTMAS TREE from Kdramas. You should also check out BTS as a group. They are definitely attention worthy!!!
You should both check out both IU( female lead and the songer) and the male lead V from the band BTS. He had recently dropped his album LAYOVER. you shluld check it out and then BTS as a band too!!
@@youreyestell11 Talk about a Legendary Mic-Drop from V... He helped IU record this with his stellar acting skills AND he dropped that album, both of them JUST BEFORE heading off to his Mandatory Enlistment in the Military.
I am a new subscriber… Thank you for being so genuine and open… with so much drama and sadness in this world, seeing your wonderful reaction to this amazing video is truly special. I am truly grateful for this reaction. Thank you 🙏
IU's songs are different. IU is always perfect. I'm still alive because of her songs.🥺 I'm living with her songs. If you try to know more about her you will know what I mean. Please listen to her songs more and take a video reactions. ❤❤❤
I've watched at a couple dozen reactions and yours has been the most touching. It's been a week and I can't watch this mv without tears filling my eyes. Saludos 💜
I U is the biggest female star in Korea and around the world !!!!! She is considered the "The Queen". Check out "MY Sea" in the Golden Hour Concert. It will leave you speechless !!!!!!!
Querida amiga... Enorme reacción has tenido a éste vídeo... Y cómo no reaccionar así, cuando la canción está plagada de sentimientos, de una magia que solo IU logra crear en magníficas imágenes con música y su gran talento para transmitir con su voz y su interpretación. IU es hermosa, la más querida por los coreanos y hasta por sus compañeros Idols. Te mando un fuerte abrazo y mi cariño... Eres una mujer muy sensible. Si quieres ver un kdrama de IU te recomiendo "Hotel de Luna".
loved your reaction. I suggest you dive more into IU. She's the absolute best (wonderful singer, actress and beautiful person loved by everyone). You would really enjoy her music and dramas (Hotel del Luna and My Mister are both great...and on Netflix)
You should consider every comment to be a long distance hug. I've never heard this before. It is lovely. I wonder watching you react, as to whether you might like the movie "American Beauty". As for crying...Shakespeare teaches a lot about story. At the heart of every tragedy is a love story, and at the heart of every comedy is tragedy (or tragic figure). We don't don't laugh if we don't care. We don't cry if we don't care. Clearly you do care. Be well young lady. Hope you get all the good things your care deserves.
#IU produces songs like intricate jewels. Every phrase is deliberate, every nuance in her voice. But she sees the lyrics as the key - she sings, and produces, the songs to convey her lyrics. And the MV likewise.
This is such a great song and video. IU has a beautiful voice and she is an amazing actress. Im more familiar with her acting than her music though. I highly recommend her k drama, Hotel Del Luna. I’ve been discovering/listening to k pop music for almost three years now and there is so much cool content out there. I think there is a lot of stuff there that you might like. ❤
Hi Biss! Kpop is full of drama, controversies and young people full of hate. But it is also full of incredible people, musicians of excellent quality, vocalists who seem straight out of a movie. There is a lot to discover in this industry. For my part, although I knew K-pop for a long time, I was totally shocked and fell in love with the group called "Dreamcatcher". I can recommend the song called "Deja vu". Simply because it is one of my favorites. They usually have excellent and connected stories. My favorite is perhaps the "nightmare trilogy." But they have a very extensive discography with many musical genres included. But his focus was always Rock and metal. YOU'LL LOVE THESE GIRLS!
This is one of those songs that I can't listen to without getting even a teeeeeeensy bit teary. I've heard it a million times but still get just a little watery eyed
We all cried, and not just the first time watching, it still moves me so much no matter how many times I watch it. They are great actors, great singers, good friends , warm souls and their great chemistry is beautiful ❤
First time I watch this MV i was crying like you do. The voice of IU is so angelic and the acting of V of BTS is so amazing. The MV is so touching. It’s like we are watching K-DRAMA. IU is a great actress and a soloist. They’re both great in acting. I love watching this MV over and over again. Can’t stop watching it even though it makes me cry. Thank you for your reactions to this video.
My goodness what an awesome reaction! ❤ I have probably watched 50 reactions to this song and this is my favorite. IU has given me more chills and has touched my heart for about 14 years… there’s no one like IU.
out of all the reactions I have to say I loved yours the most. you have the most beautiful and pure heart and were so open to see and feel the love that V and IU shared in this amazing video. The song is amazing, the acting is amazing, and the story was brilliant and captured us all. I watched even grown men tear up, but no one so far was touched the way I watched you be affected by this video...except me at home crying like a baby haha. V is my bias with BTS and I absolutely love IU. She has a magical voice of an Angel. I hope you will check both of them out now that you have heard of them. You won't be sorry. I am glad I found you in the recommended to watch just as you found IU's video in the recommended to watch. I really was touched by your reaction. I have watched the video over a hundred times now and will never get tired of seeing it. I cried along with you even used my shirt for tissue lol Have a blessed day!! 💜
It’s the most amazing 5 minutes MV that hits every emotions in your heart and whole body. In an interview she mention it was kind of like her dedication to three of her dear friends she lost to suicide. All were Idols like she and she still gets a lot of hate. II feel one metaphor is the cube representing society’s discrimination to people of all color & race, (you could apply it too to you as an reactor. Think of those faceless people interfering with you even cursing you, but with the love and support of friends and those who care, you will overcome for “Love Wins All”. There are 2 behind the scenes 1- IUTV 2-BANGTANTV. You’re not the only one to cry I’ve watched myself and bawled,even watching several times with other reactors, some (guys too) bawl . EVERYONE who has a heart Cried at least a tear. Can’t beat that voice to pull you in. 💜 💜 💜
Absolutely everyone cried when we watched this MV. Gorgeous music, IU's voice was flawless as usual, and the MV's storyline killed us all. Kim Taehyung aka V of BTS was a fantastic choice in the casting, you can totally feel their chemistry together. 💜💜💜
ohhhh you are a darling and it’s cute. i was crying with you while endeared at how you were so attached with the video. i have had a long bad day and i needed to let my emotions out and i am bawling out now. thanks for the reaction!
I cried in the first time I saw it. Then I watched tons of reaction videos of it and I cried watching everyone on them. It’s exactly as you said, the story behind it is so amazing, well written and sensitive that makes me cry every single time I watch her video. IU told us that is kind like a social critic. She’s deaf and he is blind in one eye, and the camera showing them like they were perfect should be like the world sees them. The cube is like people chasing those who are different. Now, THIS IS CINEMA! ❤
Just thank you ! One of the greatest video reactions the world can ever have, ruined by Romanian accent and lack of tissues. 😜😂And if someone claims that the imperfection isn't beautiful, simply watch the video one more time. Love wins all ! 🤍
Even through the video is one of the best MVs once you have watched it I find it really hits your soul if you close your eyes and just listen to IU singing this it hits you hard
This is because you have a beautiful feelings. That means that you have a sweet heart biscuit...thanks for your beautiful videos....Congrats from Spain

Lots of comments Filling me in !
Learning so much about IU !!
AND no i did not know that the guy is from BTS ( I don t know too much about the band )
Its sad that you dont know Kim Taehyung also known as V from BTS.. !
There is no such thing , think of it as an opportunity@@towhidchowdhury6723
saw every single reaction to this and 99% cried
I'm just copy pasting an explaination I saw under another video:

Absolutely beautiful voice and touching song. Korean music is very emotional
For someone with no context to the artists or music genre to have such an emotional experience really shows how powerful this song is. Thanks for the honest reaction.
you crying and saying "she was covering his good eye" is me EVERYTIME
IU is probably the most respected and revered Korean artist. Singer, songwriter and actress ❤❤
She represents me hahaha, is such a beautiful song
The behind-the-scenes studio recording session video was just as epic. IU was so sick while making the song that they joked about coughing up blood and dying during the recording session. She had caught the flu while filming the mv in sub-freezing temperatures.
Welcome to the amazing world of IU. One of the very best vocalist in the world today.

I have posted a few links to some of her Alice concert clips from her channel (they will not get blocked) below for your consideration.
Thank you for your reaction. And know you are not alone in your reaction to IU's voice, not by a long shot.

Thank you very much for all of the information. She is heaven sent!
I'm UAENA who just recently got into IU music in earnest. Thanks for the video info.
Don't worry, we were all crying when we first heard the song and watched the mv. I still tear up every. single. time I watch the MV. 😭💜
I actually found a few reactors who did not cry. One was struggling but held it in, barely, and I bet they cried after turning off their recording equipment. That is a STRONG person with great control of themselves.
The other two are emotionless psychopathic automatons who need to be put in long-term mental health care facilities because they were absolutely stone-faced the whole time. Something is REALLY wrong with them.
Yep thats the IU effect. She has that emotional magic in her music
Yes the song is BEAUTIFUL & the MV just made it MORE BEAUTIFUL cos in all honesty the acting made the song more impactful 🥰✌️
im with u. always. crying. every time i watch it
Am i the only one who cries after watching it like 3 or 4 times
IU voice is full of emotions, she is expert at conveying sad emotions. Most people watching this are crying. Her voice, the melody, the storyline, the acting...all are so beautiful but heartbreaking. Amazing mv

She is the actress of her generation, I loved My Mister they way the various relationships were told. IU was , simply brilliant in a fantastic script.
@@andrew097 she also seems like a really wonderful person...I'm convinced she's really an angel 😅
My Mister is also my favorite IU drama! She is one phenomenal actress and singer!
@@alicegomez673 right? She was amazing in all her dramas but she was on another level in My Mister ❤️
My Mister is a masterpiece, not least because of IU's performance. One of the best TV dramas I've ever watched. The funny thing is that I almost dropped it after the first episode. I'm sure glad I didn't.
Thats the IU effect you feel the emotions of the song through her voice
This video makes me tear up everytime
same! 😭
Every single time I watch reactions. Addictive emotional roller coaster

she is a soul singer. I teared up when i heard this song. the MV and her singing connected to me as if i know the true meaning of this song. it's really beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!
Your pure reaction somehow leads me to a pure place.
I love the MV so much. IU sings beautifully. She and V did an amazing job as actors as well.
They sound beautiful together too. They sang a song called "Ending Scene". Such a pretty song, with her clear angelic voice and his deep smooth baritone.
That duet is amazing. Their voices are perfect for each other 💜
IU can extract tears with her vocals even if you don’t speak Korean. Her MVs always tell stories in fascinating ways. She’s one of my favorite singers and your reaction was an unexpected treat.
By the way, the male actor in this mv is V of BTS.
Haha
I cried so much (unexpectedly) my sleeve was soaked too. We can all agree this mv, her voice and their acting made us cry!
IU has a charm in her voice that every time I hear it I feel like I'm under a spell that transmits a lot of calm and peace 💙
As for this MV, the truth is that it is inevitable not to cry when you see the story it tells while listening to that beautiful voice 😭

This is just a music video for IU's new song, with the man in the video being the member Taehyung/V from the band 'BTS' (you might've heard of them already even if you don't know much about Kpop, since they're known internationally). Such a great 5 minute short film that amazingly transcends language barriers and seems to even break the hearts of people who have zero context :') This was such a great and genuine reaction!
Actually, the director's movie "Concrete Utopia" was one of the inspirations for this music video, that's why they asked him to direct this one. IU wanted to film it on the set used by the movie, but it was no longer available
@@muzikizfun that's good to know!
The male lead in this video is V from BTS. He recently released a solo album name Layover that is amazing. You should check it out. They both killed this video with their acting and IU sings beautifully as always.
IU is a very unique singer and is known as a national treasure in South Korea.
She encountered financial difficulties in her family when she was a child, so she determined to become an "adult" who could support her own life earlier. Because she likes singing, she decided to be a singer. She hoped to connect the hearts between "I and YOU" through music with emotions, so she took the stage name "IU".
Originally, she wanted to be a traditional ballad singer when she debuted, but because too young, she did not gain much attention from the public in that time(when she is only 15).
Later, the entertainment company tried to package her as an idol singer and achieved great success (in the year she was 18). But when she became very popular with the public at the age of 21 with her beautiful appearance and cheerful personality, she decided to regain her original ambition and embark on a completely different path from ordinary Kpop......She remake songs more than 20-years-old, and re-introduced the popular culture of the previous generation to the younger generation, and received a very good response from public.
From then on, Koreans no longer viewed her as an idol with only a sweet image, but instead viewed her with respect as a real "artist of music" who contributed to popular culture.
In additional to her famous angelic voice just like moonlight, she is also known for her versatility and is an award-winning singer, music producer, lyricist, also a top-tier actress and model. She has many popular songs composed by herself.
Because she has held the belief that "love will eventually win" for many years, she wrote the lyrics and produce the project herself, and specially asked the film director she had collaborated with to film this MV.(The directer won the 2023 Blue Gragon Films Award of Korea)
I REQUEST IU ALL THE TIME. ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMANS ON EARTH. FANTASTIC ACTRESS. SHE IS ALSO A POLICE OFFICER THROUGH HER WORK FINDING LOST PEOPLE AND BULLIED KIDS.
HER STORY IS FULL OF HEARTBREAK. THERE ARE VIDEOS OF CELEBRITIES AND FANS CRYING ON SITE.
Her ‘Hotel Del Luna’ kdrama is fantastic!
PLEASE!!! REACT TO IU THE ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ CONCERT.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A GODDESS
Yes, a legendary artist. Please react on her more.
IU❤❤
Well said
I have felt the same emotions like you. especially, last scene made my heart cry. it's so beautiful but too sad.
IU 'Love wins all' Track Intro by IU
Someone calls this an era of great hatred.
It certainly doesn't seem to be a time when love is prevalent.
In a gray world that is growing colder with evident hostility and indifference, it feels absurd sometimes to hope that one can win with the invisible weapon of love.
However, from my personal experience, even in its moments of triumph, hatred is always alone.
On the other hand, no matter how it escapes, becomes broken or fades away, love is stubbornly together.
Love has a good chance of winning.
This song tells the story of those who try to love to the very end, in a world that prevents them from loving.
By the way, for this album which contains five tracks, there are two songs which I dedicate to my loved ones, especially to my fans, and one of them is ‘Love wins all’.
From the age of 18, when I suddenly received great love that changed my life overnight, until now - there hasn’t been a single day that I didn’t imagine it ending. It feels vaguely lonely, scary and I thought it was a natural thing to happen. However, upon thinking about that everyday for over a decade, my attitude towards it started to change little by little.
Right now, it doesn’t scare me that much anymore. I don’t think I will feel greater regret nor loneliness when that moment comes. Above all, I don’t think it is coming anytime soon.
The reason why I, a pessimistic child full of worries, was able to change this much in the meantime is because I have people who tirelessly reassured me every day for the past decade. Thanks to them, looking back, I have never been alone even just for a moment in my life as IU.
To my diligent fans who have never left me alone, I want to express my gratitude for endlessly nurturing love in my inherently obstinate heart.
Also, I want to say thank you so much for choosing to stay by my side for reasons that I still don’t fully understand.
Just like what you have been for me, I also want to be someone who’s there for you in your rising and setting moments.
To be the person beside you saying, “Don’t be afraid. Let’s fade away together most splendidly.”*
- 2024.1 Jieun //
(*t/l note: IU meant that no matter what happens, we’re in this together until the end.)
EDAM Ent.:
Starting off with a minimal and vintage piano intro and ending in a maximum outro, this ballad with a clear narrative arc continues IU's grand ballad series, which has been well-loved by fans, consisting of songs such as ‘Secret’, ‘Dear Name’, ‘Love poem’ and ‘My sea’.
In the second half of the song, the vocals swirl as if in a battle and the instrumental arrangement is reminiscent of a grand symphony, maximizing the emotions conveyed. Rhythms that seem like they are floating in the sky and the harmony themes that build on them enhance the appeal of the 6/8 time signature and the strings that spread out and gently envelop the whole sound add to the breadth and depth of the song. If you follow IU's delicate vocal techniques, the harmony of a wide-ranging melody and the constant build-up, before you realize it, you end up focusing on the note sung by IU’s last breath at the very end.

Great choice Bisscute! She really does have a beautiful voice!❤️💛
Love her voice.
Their is a fantastic track called PALLETE . She sings it.
I love your reactions.
No movie.
No kdrama.
Just one of the greatest music videos of all time.

MV Producer: IU
YOU HAVE TO WATCH IU 'Love wins all' Recording Behind
Bisscute IU is a very very respectable and reputed singer from SOUTH KOREA. She has been active since the ave of 15 . It's been 16 years of her singing career. She is a queen. You SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK MORE OF HER SONGS!
The male lead is V aka Kim taehyung of famous BOY GROUP BTS. You should check his solo album LAYOVER, or songs like SWEET NIGHT,CHRISTMAS TREE from Kdramas. You should also check out BTS as a group. They are definitely attention worthy!!!
She is a soul touching singer,, as well as V ,,loved your reactions 💜💜
wow what a good choice Biss, I have never heard of this band/ singer before but they impressed me.
You should both check out both IU( female lead and the songer) and the male lead V from the band BTS. He had recently dropped his album LAYOVER. you shluld check it out and then BTS as a band too!!
@@youreyestell11 Talk about a Legendary Mic-Drop from V... He helped IU record this with his stellar acting skills AND he dropped that album, both of them JUST BEFORE heading off to his Mandatory Enlistment in the Military.
I am a new subscriber… Thank you for being so genuine and open… with so much drama and sadness in this world, seeing your wonderful reaction to this amazing video is truly special.
I am truly grateful for this reaction. Thank you 🙏
I must say you are one of the genuine reactors here.. it is my first time watching you and I enjoy and appreciate it
IU's songs are different. IU is always perfect. I'm still alive because of her songs.🥺
I'm living with her songs. If you try to know more about her you will know what I mean. Please listen to her songs more and take a video reactions. ❤❤❤
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful performance - I could feel the sincerity
Definitely Bisscute is the ultimate timeless romantic. Gorgeous, gorgeous reaction.
Thank you for being so honest. A beautiful story where love survive all, and a beautiful reaction.
I've watched at a couple dozen reactions and yours has been the most touching. It's been a week and I can't watch this mv without tears filling my eyes. Saludos 💜
I U is the biggest female star in Korea and around the world !!!!! She is considered the "The Queen". Check out "MY Sea" in the Golden
Hour Concert. It will leave you speechless !!!!!!!
You have such a tender heart, Bisscute. The song was beautiful and very emotional and the video went very well with the song.
this is the purest reaction i've ever see
Everyone cries. It's that beautiful.
The director recently made a movie called Concrete Utopia, which helped inspire this short but intense music video.
Querida amiga... Enorme reacción has tenido a éste vídeo... Y cómo no reaccionar así, cuando la canción está plagada de sentimientos, de una magia que solo IU logra crear en magníficas imágenes con música y su gran talento para transmitir con su voz y su interpretación. IU es hermosa, la más querida por los coreanos y hasta por sus compañeros Idols.
Te mando un fuerte abrazo y mi cariño... Eres una mujer muy sensible.
Si quieres ver un kdrama de IU te recomiendo "Hotel de Luna".
I already had the feeling that you would cry to this! ❤
Мне очень понравилась ваша реакция такая настоящая от всей души.Желаю вам счастья и побольше таких реакций.
loved your reaction. I suggest you dive more into IU. She's the absolute best (wonderful singer, actress and beautiful person loved by everyone). You would really enjoy her music and dramas (Hotel del Luna and My Mister are both great...and on Netflix)
IU Shopper and IU Holssi are also bangers.
Each time I listen to this song it made me tears.. yaa is full of emotional.. ohh gosh IU you really touch our feeling 😢😂😢
😍🥰❤
You should consider every comment to be a long distance hug. I've never heard this before. It is lovely. I wonder watching you react, as to whether you might like the movie "American Beauty". As for crying...Shakespeare teaches a lot about story. At the heart of every tragedy is a love story, and at the heart of every comedy is tragedy (or tragic figure). We don't don't laugh if we don't care. We don't cry if we don't care. Clearly you do care. Be well young lady. Hope you get all the good things your care deserves.
Я много раз смотрела это видео и каждый раз плакала.Песня супер!!! Актерская игра Айю и Тэхена ганиальна!!!
#IU produces songs like intricate jewels. Every phrase is deliberate, every nuance in her voice. But she sees the lyrics as the key - she sings, and produces, the songs to convey her lyrics. And the MV likewise.
what a cute reaction, ius voice really does sth to us
This is such a great song and video. IU has a beautiful voice and she is an amazing actress. Im more familiar with her acting than her music though. I highly recommend her k drama, Hotel Del Luna. I’ve been discovering/listening to k pop music for almost three years now and there is so much cool content out there. I think there is a lot of stuff there that you might like. ❤
Unfortunately, "Hotel Del Luna" is only available with subtitles.😭
💜those damn “square things”!!! 😊
Wonderful reaction. One of the best reactions. That's how I reacted as well. So good.
Hi Biss!
Kpop is full of drama, controversies and young people full of hate.
But it is also full of incredible people, musicians of excellent quality, vocalists who seem straight out of a movie.
There is a lot to discover in this industry.
For my part, although I knew K-pop for a long time, I was totally shocked and fell in love with the group called "Dreamcatcher". I can recommend the song called "Deja vu". Simply because it is one of my favorites. They usually have excellent and connected stories. My favorite is perhaps the "nightmare trilogy." But they have a very extensive discography with many musical genres included. But his focus was always Rock and metal. YOU'LL LOVE THESE GIRLS!
I cried my eyes out
Oh my god you have me in tears, I’ve seen it like 50 or more times but it hets me every time 😭 your reaction came from your heart… thank you 🥰
You obviously have outward beauty but what makes you TRULY beautiful is your bright colorful spirit and your giant loving heart.❤🥺😗
Don’t cry sweetheart… watching your reaction made me cry too. Haha😅
This is one of those songs that I can't listen to without getting even a teeeeeeensy bit teary. I've heard it a million times but still get just a little watery eyed
I completely agree....her voice is some kind of miracle...touches all the strings in the heart. 😍Makes you smile and cry. 💜 IU is incredibly talented
I tell you what I think you said she is Korean?....my God she has a beautiful voice!!!
She is literally most popular Korean celebrity. 32 000 000 followers on Instagram. Great singer and actor. Ultra talented person!
I never seen a person crying more beautiful than her😂
너무 순수한 마음을 갖고 있네요~ IU 님의 노래, 가사의 의미, MV의 내용, 그리고 Bisscute 님의 순수한 Reaction 이 너무 절묘 했어요. 앞으로 많은 활동 부탁합니다. 구독!!!
You definitely need to see IU's K dramas.
Great Biss explorer and great reaction congrats😊. Miss Bisscute please do more live performances reactions, those are your Best.
We all cried, and not just the first time watching, it still moves me so much no matter how many times I watch it. They are great actors, great singers, good friends , warm souls and their great chemistry is beautiful ❤
I'm a pure grown man and her voice made me tear up.. she touched something in my heart.
This is how I felt the very first moment I watched this mv❤
First time I watch this MV i was crying like you do. The voice of IU is so angelic and the acting of V of BTS is so amazing. The MV is so touching. It’s like we are watching K-DRAMA. IU is a great actress and a soloist. They’re both great in acting. I love watching this MV over and over again. Can’t stop watching it even though it makes me cry. Thank you for your reactions to this video.
My goodness what an awesome reaction! ❤
I have probably watched 50 reactions to this song and this is my favorite.
IU has given me more chills and has touched my heart for about 14 years… there’s no one like IU.
V amazing 💯👏👏👏👏👏❤️
out of all the reactions I have to say I loved yours the most. you have the most beautiful and pure heart and were so open to see and feel the love that V and IU shared in this amazing video. The song is amazing, the acting is amazing, and the story was brilliant and captured us all. I watched even grown men tear up, but no one so far was touched the way I watched you be affected by this video...except me at home crying like a baby haha. V is my bias with BTS and I absolutely love IU. She has a magical voice of an Angel. I hope you will check both of them out now that you have heard of them. You won't be sorry. I am glad I found you in the recommended to watch just as you found IU's video in the recommended to watch. I really was touched by your reaction. I have watched the video over a hundred times now and will never get tired of seeing it. I cried along with you even used my shirt for tissue lol Have a blessed day!! 💜
It’s the most amazing 5 minutes MV that hits every emotions in your heart and whole body. In an interview she mention it was kind of like her dedication to three of her dear friends she lost to suicide. All were Idols like she and she still gets a lot of hate. II feel one metaphor is the cube representing society’s discrimination to people of all color & race, (you could apply it too to you as an reactor. Think of those faceless people interfering with you even cursing you, but with the love and support of friends and those who care, you will overcome for “Love Wins All”. There are 2 behind the scenes 1- IUTV 2-BANGTANTV.
You’re not the only one to cry I’ve watched myself and bawled,even watching several times with other reactors, some (guys too) bawl . EVERYONE who has a heart Cried at least a tear. Can’t beat that voice to pull you in. 💜 💜 💜
IU is Fantastic!
Absolutely everyone cried when we watched this MV. Gorgeous music, IU's voice was flawless as usual, and the MV's storyline killed us all. Kim Taehyung aka V of BTS was a fantastic choice in the casting, you can totally feel their chemistry together. 💜💜💜
this song/mv has made almost every reaction video cry
ohhhh you are a darling and it’s cute. i was crying with you while endeared at how you were so attached with the video. i have had a long bad day and i needed to let my emotions out and i am bawling out now. thanks for the reaction!
I cried in the first time I saw it. Then I watched tons of reaction videos of it and I cried watching everyone on them.
It’s exactly as you said, the story behind it is so amazing, well written and sensitive that makes me cry every single time I watch her video.
IU told us that is kind like a social critic. She’s deaf and he is blind in one eye, and the camera showing them like they were perfect should be like the world sees them. The cube is like people chasing those who are different. Now, THIS IS CINEMA! ❤
La verdad es que si la mayoría ha tenido esa reacción , de llorar la primera vez que ve el video =(
esperaba con ansias tu vídeo reacción sobre la nueva canción de IU
Just thank you ! One of the greatest video reactions the world can ever have, ruined by Romanian accent and lack of tissues. 😜😂And if someone claims that the imperfection isn't beautiful, simply watch the video one more time. Love wins all ! 🤍
Thank you so much
@@BisscuteReacts The pleasure is mine, Bissy the Explorer🌹
Thank you so much for the extra support
Love all your reactions Bisscute, you add alot to a video ❤
Even through the video is one of the best MVs once you have watched it I find it really hits your soul if you close your eyes and just listen to IU singing this it hits you hard
BABYMONSTER - LIKE THAT...! GOGOGOGO
This is because you have a beautiful feelings. That means that you have a sweet heart biscuit...thanks for your beautiful videos....Congrats from Spain
