There's no way any normal person watching this mv could just get away without crying. No fricking way. IU captured the truest expression of absolute love, held so deeply in her subconscious, expressed so lovingly in her song and acted it out along with V with absolute perfection. My box of tissues is empty watching you cry too.
Honestly, I don't really cry either; the last time was at a funeral. I can watch some very sad stuff but I have watched this MV multiple times and it always chokes me up. I think the acting in the MV is fantastic and IU is especially good at conveying emotion with her expressions, especially her eyes...like you can see the look of terror in them as the cube approaches them after being chased down.
In today's world full of war, hate, judgement, and division of people ESPECIALLY in America, IU reminds us that truly LOVE wins ALL. The MV represents the chaotic broken world that we are in, she is deaf and V is half blind, but love wins all.
Besides her vocal prowess, the reason why IU is at the top is how she is able to stir emotions in people. Especially if you understand the little nuances in her korean lyrics, you see exactly why she is so big in korea.
I don't understand Korean at all and she grabs me by the heart just about every-other-song, simply with her vocal abilities. Nuance can be a thing by pure audibility even without the language reference. She emotes so well when she sings, she has gotten me a few times when I don't even speak the language. Only a few vocalists can do that so far as I have experienced.
The part where you see v shed a tear and then IU cry as well broke me.. because the build up was so amazing. The way they potrayed love and happiness despite their situation. To lead up to them dying together in eachothers arms…. With IU covering his eye so he wouldn’t see.. god I was not emotionally stable enough to handle it all. The song was beautiful, V and IU did amazing. I hope V has acting in his agenda for the future.
TORS1EEEE you're not alone my eyes hurts so much from crying😭.....the song , IU and V's acting as well as the music vedio is wonderfully made very deep and emotional. 💜❤️
You are so right, the desperation we can hear in her voice is it, their performances are amazing, her music is so beautiful, but all this combined with her desperation, kills it. Everyone are crying... Magnificent ❤
i was so wrecked yesterday. i cried at the mv, her beautiful voice. it just all hit me like a ton of bricks. the subtlety of their emotions shown. real and gentle love being shown, and then being taken away. it was so brutal. i had a full breakdown yesterday 😭
Cry Me A River, welcome back Torsie to IU. 1. There's a scene as a tribute to My Mister where IU communicated with V in sign language. 2. Another scene of the exploding wall revealing a world being devastated by the concrete cubes. It reminded me of a world burning being attacked by flying saucers - I think in the movie War of the Worlds or similar. 3. Uhm Taehwa directed the award winning film Concrete Utopia which I read will be submitted for the Oscars award. He directed IU's Love Poem concert tour which led him to rediscover the joy of filming.
He did appear on IU’s Palette last September and they sang “ending scene” together, it was STUNNING…. Tae is now in the military, I hope he did record a cover of this song as well
First of all, WE MISS YOU TORSIEEEEEE!!! Second of all, WE UGLY CRYING AGAIN!!! Third of all, YES TO ALL YOU SAID. AAAHHH Now we wait for the entire album ❤ There's a theory that said IU and V are both defective (IU being deaf/mute and V having 1 blind eye) and the cube is hunting and getting rid of those damaged ones. Those that are out of the normal, the outcasts, the oppressed, the discriminated. Kind of like, why can't we be happy and free to love just like the normal ones? As what IU said about this song: "Someone calls this an era of great hatred. It certainly doesn't seem to be a time when love is prevalent." "This song tells the story of those who try to love to the very end, in a world that prevents them from loving." I think the whole thing portrayed perfectly what IU was saying. She a genius for rea, for real.
Their acting was absolutely incredible in addition to the haunting melody & lyrics. Impossible not to cry. What a match made in heaven these two are. A beautiful, epic love story in 5 minutes 💜💜💜💜
This was a beautiful reaction. It really touched the heart, just as the song did and just as the MV did. IU’s voice was magical as was Tae’s beautiful delicate and exquisite acting. The visual combination of the two were insane. To see Taehyungie’s ethereal beauty and soft, gentle adorable self while he’s away in the military was so heartwarming too. Really missing him. The story of the MV was also beautiful to me, in a society that marginalises and that others many people simply for how they were born… and tries to prevent them from loving. As the director said in the interpretation guide they released, they are running away from the cube that discriminates and oppresses them. IU having difficulty in communicating due to a verbal/or hearing impairment (the chain on the lip) and Tae having a visual impairment and only being able to see the world with his left eye… both have difficulties in communicating in the dystopian world they live in, but rely on each other, doing things they’ve only ever dreamed of but was not available to them. The symbolism of the suit and dress being the cliches of love. In the final camcorder footage being transcending and freeing themselves from oppressions and discrimination. The two most powerful parts for me were the actor IU covering Tae’s good eye to protect him, and hidden in the lyrics… ‘All Love Wins’. After all all love is love. For some healing and comfort I highly recommend the episode of the palette with V called ‘Vegin Again’. One of the most wholesome interviews you will ever watch and the cutest. Thanks again for this lovely and touching reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 P.s this is the interpretation guide quoted directly as per all the k-media articles: 1'''Square box' can be interpreted to mean discrimination against the protagonists, and furthermore, to mean various kinds of discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in our daily lives." "2. KEY ITEM "Camcorder" Meaning Next, there is the existence of the 'camcorder' that appeared in every pre-promotion content. The time setting in the video is the present, but the settings on the screen where the camcorder is recorded are the world that was intact before it was destroyed. The lens of a camcorder is a love filter. It can also be seen as an important device that allows us to look beyond the inner or outer appearance of the characters and look at the beautiful things in the world. In the world of the camcorder, they are not as messy as in real life, but lively and well-groomed, eating delicious food prepared in a beautiful manner, and enjoying the happiness they have only imagined as they walk through many spaces in glossy dresses and tuxedos." "4. Why wedding dresses and tuxedos? Last but not least, a wedding dress and a tuxedo. IU and V each picked out a weddipng dress and a tuxedo from the ruins. Here, the wedding dress and tuxedo symbolize the most cliché, "the fruit of love." In the movie, the two wear these clothes, take pictures, and have fun singing and having fun, all of which are difficult to do in everyday life, and enjoy happiness for a while. In the end, however, the bodies are destroyed by the squares, leaving only the clothes they were wearing. The two are implied to be lifted into the air in the final camcorder footage, meaning that they are free to fly free from all oppression and pressure. Crucially, the dresses and tuxedos falling from the sky also have the implication of questioning whether the forms that are considered meaningful and important in reality show their true essence?”
P.s I forgot to say that as per IU’s beautiful, sincere and heartfelt letter prior to the release… lyrically the song is dedicated to Uaenna’s. Who have been through all the highs and lows with IU. 💜
Glad you have a pretty good cry. You called this MV "a film", and in fact the MV director, Um Taehwa is a movie director, and his last project, a movie called "Concrete Utopia", is set in an apoclytic world, too, very good.
You will enjoy V on Palette with IU. It was such a special interaction between them, their friendship is adorable and their singing just beautiful. I watched over and over again, the cuteness, the respect and even teasing each other, just so enjoyable!
So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. You really do need to see IU and Tae singing Ending Scene together in IU's Pallete - their voices together are sublime!!!
Torsie!!!! Welcome back and we have missed you. So I picked this up from the IUtsc who translated the interview with the Director of the MV 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. This MV destroyed me 😭😭😭.
Thank you for a much relatable reaction. I cry every time I watched this MV. One item of note is that in the last scene where the box turns red and comes for them, she had her hand on his shoulder and he held her hand and it was then that she squeezed his shoulder 3 times which signifies I Love You. This makes it even more heartbreaking for me. So proud of Taehyung and IU. Blessings to you 💜borahae
This MV absolutely broke me, IU’s vocals are stunning of course and their passionate acting is so beautiful and heart wrenching! Yes he was on IU’s palette and their chemistry is so amazing in it, I believe they filmed this MV not too long after the palette episode! I’m so glad they starred in this MV together and I hope they costar in a drama together ASAP!! 💜💜😭🔥
I’m always gratefut for authentic reactions from Torsie. The beauty of this mv is that Love found them and they Loved each other to the end. Beyond the great acting, stunning visuals, and marvelous Love Song are the many details telling the story. Interesting the internet reactions interpreting the mv as dark or as about ‘those other people’ with noticeable physical disabilities. MV Message: The reason this mv deeply touches our hearts is true for those who have gone before us and those that will follow: By virtue of transforming Love all of us imperfect humans can live with the best of joy and saddness, even in the face of normal everyday miseries and the inevitability of death.
It took me awhile to stop crying too. Watching the MV gave me a roller coaster emotions, i felt their fear, their hope., their happiness while they make believe that everything is ok, their desperate feeling of wanting to escape and live. I laughed and cried with them. The end of the video hits me so hard. Until now, i haven't moved on yet. I've watched the video non stop and it still hits me. IU's voice moves you right through your heart and their superb acting was amazing...their chemistry is undeniable. My heart races from the start till the end while watching the video. I'm still crying 😢😢😢 ... cant help it.
The director did an amazing job!!! IU's vocals are out worldly , this dystopian future is what will happen to humanity if we don't give love a chance ❤
Oh sweetie, we've really missed you too 🫂 I'm so very happy to see you, to listen to you so very eloquently put into words all the bottled up teary-eyed feelings this genre of IU gives us all. It's ok to go crawl under a table and cry away, I crawled under my blankets yesterday after work, every single time I saw that video, so I'll be putting away By the stream for a while, my heart and tear ducts need to rest after this, I'm simply not that strong 😭
So nice to see you Torsie.Miss you and your reaction of IU a lots. IU finally produces this masterpiece. I expect more unexpected in the thirties of this legend.
Hola! Te extrañé mucho, me alegra que vuelvas. Me gusta pensar que si tu y yo os conocieramos en persona, seríamos amigas. Bienvenida de nuevo! Aqui estaremos para acompañarte y compartir!
연기처럼 사라진 그들이 간 곳이 여기보다 더 나은 곳이라면? 다름에 대한 차별과 혐오가 없는 곳 (자세히보면 사랑을 노래하는 그들에게 얼굴없는 관객들이 야유하고 있음) 웨딩드레스와 턱시도같은 사랑을 증명하는 진부한 격식이 필요없는 곳이라면 그들의 사랑이 이긴게 아닐까? 그러니 이 스토리는 새드엔딩이 아니라 열린결말
My memory is crap (I really think I am going senile now, not just bad memory but so much worse than that, my mind making up things that are not true) and you were gone for a while (not your fault, I completely understand). I do not remember subbing to your channel at all but you were in the queue of all the reactions to this MV, so I clicked on your video in turn. Lo-and-behold, I am in fact subbed to your channel. I just don't remember when I did that or which of your videos caught my attention first. I will have a look later. Far more importantly, Welcome Back To YT! What a video to come back with! I am so sorry that you were ill at all, let alone so badly ill that it kept you from making videos. I know that really sucks so I hope you are clear of that ailment AND of course I hope that never bothers you again. I hope you are completely well now. I love your reaction to this. Don't worry about the emotional part, we all feel it and as you said, you have had a difficult year. You are allowed to feel and in fact I should HOPE that you are indeed Human rather than some Automaton. Sometimes a break in the dam is required for mental health, especially if there is lingering stress caused by your past physical ailment. IU really has a way of reaching into any fan's chest and squeezing their heart. I know of few performers with that capability, it really is a rare thing. She's incredibly special. I had never seen V act before so this was a surprise for me. He did GREAT, he matched IU every bit. The song lyrics alone are GORGEOUS and then there is IU's voice to deal with. The emotionally charged video could have been a stand-alone silent movie to fit with IU's character apparently having been deaf and it could have won awards at Cannes. But put them all together...Magic. World-Class MV and right before Valentine's Day. :)
In my interpretation, the cube is actually society itself. We know in the MV IU is deaf/mute and V is half blind. They represent marginalized people in their real world but in the fantasy world they want, things are great and carefree and they can just enjoy life like any normal person, like IU wants to sing in her dream at the wedding reception/hall, but in reality, she can't. Society looks at these group of people in such a discriminating way, but why? They just want to be happy at the end of the day, but because they aren't like everyone else, they are automatically treated differently by society. The part where it zooms through the hole in the wall, you can see the world is basically on fire and there's floating cubes everywhere just going about their business like nothings wrong. That's what society does today, the world is on fire, but most of it doesn't care and just accepts it because it is what it is. In the end, V tries to protect her with force, but it doesn't work and really only triggers the cube. It turns red and red to me basically symbolizes anger and hatred. Society continues to treat people cruelly, but in the end it doesn't matter as long as these people have something or someone to love and hold on to.
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.

Are you back on RUclips doing IU reactions? Or an I dreaming? If so, I am glad for you and hope u are well. I have certainly missed your reactions. And I never seem to be able to get on Patreon.
Estado buscado , para ver si habias visto como han echo , esta obra de arte , pero no te encontrado pues no deverias perdertelo hay sebe el gran trabajo que hicieron
Such a beautiful and emotional video featuring amazing acting and vocals that makes the experience so personal. I really do hope that Tae & IU do other projects together both film and music as they have great chemistry and when he was on her show their voices also blended so well. Also at the end it was pointed out by someone that he can hear what is coming but she can't, while she can see what is coming but she covers his good eye so he can't. Both cry at the same moment though and from the same left eye. Also the right side of his face seems to have burn scars so maybe he had encountered a cube before but got away at the last minute. This cube was relentless in its pursuit and even seemed to change size so it could come into the building. Earlier when it was flying overhead you could tell no way it could fit inside those hallways. I also noticed the cube waits for them to stop fighting and accept their fate. If you notice there are no other people so obviously no person is able to meet the criteria this cube holds that would allow someone to survive. The camcorder that kept showing a better reality, was giving us the viewer a happier version of the events. They both rise in the air together, their bodies still solid, while the reality is that they have been turned to ash. At the top of the camcorder right before it turns off you see ash particles in the air. I also loved how the clothes landed together on the pile. Again all of this symbolizing that even though they seemingly lost to the cube, it couldn't destroy their love for each other. They stayed together in life and death, so indeed their love did win. I can't get enough of this MV, the acting is Oscar level and combined with the award worthy vocals and lyrics it's both heartbreaking but also heartwarming that at least they went together.
My bias is Tae and my bias wrecker is Suga as well!!! I do have to clarify that I am for BTS as a whole but I tend to look their way a little bit more lol. As time goes by, I feel like Suga is no longer my wrecker just my bias as well. Through their solo careers I have really started to appreciate all of them a lot more. They all are so talented!!!!
It's been a while since I watched your video. I kinda miss bingeing your channel. Maybe I will start binge-watching your channel again. I wish you the best in your health. Sending you a lot of love. Btw are still active on social media??

the theory of IU's song is when IU is told that she is deaf from her use of sign language and V is told that sheh has blindness in one of her eyes , which is proven by IU closing one of V's eyes and the box is likened to the general public here the are trying to fight discrimination from the general audience itself is one of the theories and the song love wins all and there are many other versions .
There's no way any normal person watching this mv could just get away without crying. No fricking way. IU captured the truest expression of absolute love, held so deeply in her subconscious, expressed so lovingly in her song and acted it out along with V with absolute perfection. My box of tissues is empty watching you cry too.

@@ver4535Totally agree with you 😔
Besides her vocal prowess, the reason why IU is at the top is how she is able to stir emotions in people. Especially if you understand the little nuances in her korean lyrics, you see exactly why she is so big in korea.
i agreeㅠㅠ
Absolutely!
I don't understand Korean at all and she grabs me by the heart just about every-other-song, simply with her vocal abilities. Nuance can be a thing by pure audibility even without the language reference. She emotes so well when she sings, she has gotten me a few times when I don't even speak the language. Only a few vocalists can do that so far as I have experienced.
The part where you see v shed a tear and then IU cry as well broke me.. because the build up was so amazing. The way they potrayed love and happiness despite their situation. To lead up to them dying together in eachothers arms…. With IU covering his eye so he wouldn’t see.. god I was not emotionally stable enough to handle it all. The song was beautiful, V and IU did amazing. I hope V has acting in his agenda for the future.
IU palette with V. They sang the ending scene. Must watch episode.
I cried so much. I'm still crying
Hey, Tors1e! Uaena missed you ❤
This is a fan song, IU wrote this for us 🥹♥️
TORS1EEEE you're not alone my eyes hurts so much from crying😭.....the song , IU and V's acting as well as the music vedio is wonderfully made very deep and emotional. 💜❤️
IU indeed is a talented artist … & beautiful chemistry with V… brilliantly done!
This is when you know the acting is amazing with iu beautiful voice to make us all cry because they realy sold their love to us
You are so right, the desperation we can hear in her voice is it, their performances are amazing, her music is so beautiful, but all this combined with her desperation, kills it. Everyone are crying...
Magnificent ❤
The power of IU...just no words. Really want to get a ticket for her concert!! Fingers crossed.
LOVE WINS ALL
i was so wrecked yesterday. i cried at the mv, her beautiful voice. it just all hit me like a ton of bricks. the subtlety of their emotions shown. real and gentle love being shown, and then being taken away. it was so brutal. i had a full breakdown yesterday 😭
Cry Me A River, welcome back Torsie to IU.
1. There's a scene as a tribute to My Mister where IU communicated with V in sign language.
2. Another scene of the exploding wall revealing a world being devastated by the concrete cubes. It reminded me of a world burning being attacked by flying saucers - I think in the movie War of the Worlds or similar.
3. Uhm Taehwa directed the award winning film Concrete Utopia which I read will be submitted for the Oscars award. He directed IU's Love Poem concert tour which led him to rediscover the joy of filming.
a little correction at no. 3, it's not Love Poem, but the concert VCR from IU's 10th debut anniversary "DLWRLMA" last 2018
He did appear on IU’s Palette last September and they sang “ending scene” together, it was STUNNING…. Tae is now in the military, I hope he did record a cover of this song as well
First of all, WE MISS YOU TORSIEEEEEE!!!
Second of all, WE UGLY CRYING AGAIN!!!
Third of all, YES TO ALL YOU SAID. AAAHHH
Now we wait for the entire album ❤
There's a theory that said IU and V are both defective (IU being deaf/mute and V having 1 blind eye) and the cube is hunting and getting rid of those damaged ones. Those that are out of the normal, the outcasts, the oppressed, the discriminated. Kind of like, why can't we be happy and free to love just like the normal ones?
As what IU said about this song:
"Someone calls this an era of great hatred. It certainly doesn't seem to be a time when love is prevalent."
"This song tells the story of those who try to love to the very end, in a world that prevents them from loving."
I think the whole thing portrayed perfectly what IU was saying. She a genius for rea, for real.
Jaymeeeeee!!! Missed you too!! Can’t wait for the album - more crying! Even if it’s happy crying haha
.....geez...IU...ㅠ.ㅠ
Seriously 😩😩😩
You are not alone. I cried too!
I completely agree....her voice is some kind of miracle...touches all the strings in the heart. 😍Makes you smile and cry. 💜 gorgeous
Queen IU is finally back. 😍 Such a beautiful ballad, the voice is beautiful as always, and his and V’s emotions on the screen are amazing. 💜 Great job
I'm crying, too, and sending you love. Your analysis is always so spot on ... Great song, great actors.
We missed your IU reactions!!!
Their acting was absolutely incredible in addition to the haunting melody & lyrics. Impossible not to cry. What a match made in heaven these two are. A beautiful, epic love story in 5 minutes 💜💜💜💜
This was a beautiful reaction. It really touched the heart, just as the song did and just as the MV did. IU’s voice was magical as was Tae’s beautiful delicate and exquisite acting. The visual combination of the two were insane. To see Taehyungie’s ethereal beauty and soft, gentle adorable self while he’s away in the military was so heartwarming too. Really missing him. The story of the MV was also beautiful to me, in a society that marginalises and that others many people simply for how they were born… and tries to prevent them from loving. As the director said in the interpretation guide they released, they are running away from the cube that discriminates and oppresses them. IU having difficulty in communicating due to a verbal/or hearing impairment (the chain on the lip) and Tae having a visual impairment and only being able to see the world with his left eye… both have difficulties in communicating in the dystopian world they live in, but rely on each other, doing things they’ve only ever dreamed of but was not available to them. The symbolism of the suit and dress being the cliches of love. In the final camcorder footage being transcending and freeing themselves from oppressions and discrimination. The two most powerful parts for me were the actor IU covering Tae’s good eye to protect him, and hidden in the lyrics… ‘All Love Wins’. After all all love is love.
For some healing and comfort I highly recommend the episode of the palette with V called ‘Vegin Again’. One of the most wholesome interviews you will ever watch and the cutest. Thanks again for this lovely and touching reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
P.s this is the interpretation guide quoted directly as per all the k-media articles:
1'''Square box' can be interpreted to mean discrimination against the protagonists, and furthermore, to mean various kinds of discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in our daily lives."
"2. KEY ITEM "Camcorder" Meaning
Next, there is the existence of the 'camcorder' that appeared in every pre-promotion content. The time setting in the video is the present, but the settings on the screen where the camcorder is recorded are the world that was intact before it was
destroyed. The lens of a camcorder is a love filter. It can also be seen as an important device that allows us to look beyond the inner or outer appearance of the characters and look at the beautiful things in the world. In the world of the camcorder, they are not as messy as in real life, but lively and well-groomed, eating delicious food prepared in a beautiful manner, and enjoying the happiness they have only imagined as they walk through many spaces in glossy dresses and tuxedos."
"4. Why wedding dresses and tuxedos?
Last but not least, a wedding dress and a tuxedo. IU and V each picked out a weddipng dress and a tuxedo from the ruins.
Here, the wedding dress and tuxedo symbolize the most cliché,
"the fruit of love." In the movie, the two wear these clothes, take pictures, and have fun singing and having fun, all of which are difficult to do in everyday life, and enjoy happiness for a while. In the end, however, the bodies are destroyed by the squares, leaving only the clothes they were wearing. The two are implied to be lifted into the air in the final camcorder footage, meaning that they are free to fly free from all oppression and pressure. Crucially, the dresses and tuxedos falling from the sky also have the implication of questioning whether the forms that are considered meaningful and important in reality show their true essence?”
P.s I forgot to say that as per IU’s beautiful, sincere and heartfelt letter prior to the release… lyrically the song is dedicated to Uaenna’s. Who have been through all the highs and lows with IU. 💜
Glad you have a pretty good cry. You called this MV "a film", and in fact the MV director, Um Taehwa is a movie director, and his last project, a movie called "Concrete Utopia", is set in an apoclytic world, too, very good.
You will enjoy V on Palette with IU. It was such a special interaction between them, their friendship is adorable and their singing just beautiful. I watched over and over again, the cuteness, the respect and even teasing each other, just so enjoyable!
So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. You really do need to see IU and Tae singing Ending Scene together in IU's Pallete - their voices together are sublime!!!
Yes we missed you so much..so when I saw your notification..I'm so happy...your back for iu...😊😊😊😊
Thank you 🥲 I’m happy to be back, I’ve really missed you all!
you completely nailed it. thank you for this video and your words.
TORS1E,you are the best !!! Always .
Torsie!!!! Welcome back and we have missed you. So I picked this up from the IUtsc who translated the interview with the Director of the MV
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.
This MV destroyed me 😭😭😭.
Thank you for a much relatable reaction. I cry every time I watched this MV. One item of note is that in the last scene where the box turns red and comes for them, she had her hand on his shoulder and he held her hand and it was then that she squeezed his shoulder 3 times which signifies I Love You. This makes it even more heartbreaking for me. So proud of Taehyung and IU. Blessings to you 💜borahae
missed you torsie!!!
Missed you too!!
My love Co-Uaena, we are feeling the same way when watching this MV. Thank you for your video and welcome back🎉❤
LOVE WINS ALL BTS❤I U
This MV absolutely broke me, IU’s vocals are stunning of course and their passionate acting is so beautiful and heart wrenching! Yes he was on IU’s palette and their chemistry is so amazing in it, I believe they filmed this MV not too long after the palette episode! I’m so glad they starred in this MV together and I hope they costar in a drama together ASAP!! 💜💜😭🔥
I’m always gratefut for authentic reactions from Torsie.
The beauty of this mv is that Love found them and they Loved each other to the end.
Beyond the great acting, stunning visuals, and marvelous Love Song are the many details telling the story.
Interesting the internet reactions interpreting the mv as dark or as about ‘those other people’ with noticeable physical disabilities.
MV Message:
The reason this mv deeply touches our hearts is
true for those who have gone before us and those that will follow:
By virtue of transforming Love all of us imperfect humans can live with the best of joy and saddness, even in the face of normal everyday miseries and the inevitability of death.
It took me awhile to stop crying too. Watching the MV gave me a roller coaster emotions, i felt their fear, their hope., their happiness while they make believe that everything is ok, their desperate feeling of wanting to escape and live. I laughed and cried with them. The end of the video hits me so hard. Until now, i haven't moved on yet. I've watched the video non stop and it still hits me. IU's voice moves you right through your heart and their superb acting was amazing...their chemistry is undeniable. My heart races from the start till the end while watching the video. I'm still crying 😢😢😢 ... cant help it.
The director did an amazing job!!! IU's vocals are out worldly , this dystopian future is what will happen to humanity if we don't give love a chance ❤
당신이 흘린눈물 한방울이 강이되고 바다가 됩니다.. 새해 복많이 받으시고 사랑이 가득차길...............................................................................................................
Torsie, go to IU concert. she's coming to your country 🎉
진심으로 리엑션해주는 너를보면 나도 감동하게된다 고마워
I hope IU hold a concert in Australia too
I hope so! Fingers crossed they announce later 2024 dates with Australia included 🤞
TORSIE!!!! I WE MISS YOU!!! SO glad to see you back WITH IU's SONG!
I cry every time I watch this. It's such a beautiful song and video. The acting 😍
Gone array is something that the society applying to people who make their own choices, rather than following the norm.
Never-ending saga.
Iu 😍
Please more iu...❤❤
This song ,lyrics and the voice its all so beautiful. I'm falling more for her voice
Oh sweetie, we've really missed you too 🫂 I'm so very happy to see you, to listen to you so very eloquently put into words all the bottled up teary-eyed feelings this genre of IU gives us all. It's ok to go crawl under a table and cry away, I crawled under my blankets yesterday after work, every single time I saw that video, so I'll be putting away By the stream for a while, my heart and tear ducts need to rest after this, I'm simply not that strong 😭
Hope you can react to more IU X V in [IU's Palette] 'V'egin Again (With V) Ep.24
Missed you Torsie! Amazing MV right beautifully done so deep …
Waiting for the IU magical binge ❤
So nice to see you Torsie.Miss you and your reaction of IU a lots. IU finally produces this masterpiece. I expect more unexpected in the thirties of this legend.
Tors1e...ueanas missed you so much! So happy to see you back;) and we can support IU togerher again! Thank you for the reaction.
I hope the war stops.BTS, I love you
감정이 풍부하시네요
Wonderful reaction to an amazing song and video.
Yes TORS1E you are back !
Thank you for the upload.
Hola! Te extrañé mucho, me alegra que vuelvas. Me gusta pensar que si tu y yo os conocieramos en persona, seríamos amigas. Bienvenida de nuevo! Aqui estaremos para acompañarte y compartir!
연기처럼 사라진 그들이 간 곳이 여기보다 더 나은 곳이라면?
다름에 대한 차별과 혐오가 없는 곳 (자세히보면 사랑을 노래하는 그들에게 얼굴없는 관객들이 야유하고 있음)
웨딩드레스와 턱시도같은 사랑을 증명하는 진부한 격식이 필요없는 곳이라면
그들의 사랑이 이긴게 아닐까?
그러니 이 스토리는 새드엔딩이 아니라 열린결말
After weeping through almost a DOZEN WATCHES, I get KDrama + Torchwood + Beetlejuice 😭💔 He's the Maiden and She's the Knight ❤️🔥
Welcome back! You are awesome
Any mv have never made me cry utill now. but this one broke my heart. their story is so beautiful but too sad.
Tors1e welcome back 😍 thank you for reacting again.
Love your take as always.
This MV is indeed amazing, heartbreaking yet beautiful ❤️
My memory is crap (I really think I am going senile now, not just bad memory but so much worse than that, my mind making up things that are not true) and you were gone for a while (not your fault, I completely understand). I do not remember subbing to your channel at all but you were in the queue of all the reactions to this MV, so I clicked on your video in turn. Lo-and-behold, I am in fact subbed to your channel. I just don't remember when I did that or which of your videos caught my attention first. I will have a look later.
Far more importantly, Welcome Back To YT! What a video to come back with!
I am so sorry that you were ill at all, let alone so badly ill that it kept you from making videos. I know that really sucks so I hope you are clear of that ailment AND of course I hope that never bothers you again. I hope you are completely well now.
I love your reaction to this. Don't worry about the emotional part, we all feel it and as you said, you have had a difficult year. You are allowed to feel and in fact I should HOPE that you are indeed Human rather than some Automaton. Sometimes a break in the dam is required for mental health, especially if there is lingering stress caused by your past physical ailment.
IU really has a way of reaching into any fan's chest and squeezing their heart. I know of few performers with that capability, it really is a rare thing. She's incredibly special. I had never seen V act before so this was a surprise for me. He did GREAT, he matched IU every bit.
The song lyrics alone are GORGEOUS and then there is IU's voice to deal with. The emotionally charged video could have been a stand-alone silent movie to fit with IU's character apparently having been deaf and it could have won awards at Cannes. But put them all together...Magic. World-Class MV and right before Valentine's Day. :)
Welcome back Torsie!!!!! Please react to IUs Pallete with V. We missed you
I love your shirt ❤ I want more of IU too 🥰🥰🥰
Seeing his Styling skewed to Apocalypse - a Turquoise, Elfin Gleam made Cloudy, the Pristine, artfully-torn Snowy Sweater stained with Blood.
In my interpretation, the cube is actually society itself. We know in the MV IU is deaf/mute and V is half blind. They represent marginalized people in their real world but in the fantasy world they want, things are great and carefree and they can just enjoy life like any normal person, like IU wants to sing in her dream at the wedding reception/hall, but in reality, she can't. Society looks at these group of people in such a discriminating way, but why?
They just want to be happy at the end of the day, but because they aren't like everyone else, they are automatically treated differently by society. The part where it zooms through the hole in the wall, you can see the world is basically on fire and there's floating cubes everywhere just going about their business like nothings wrong. That's what society does today, the world is on fire, but most of it doesn't care and just accepts it because it is what it is.
In the end, V tries to protect her with force, but it doesn't work and really only triggers the cube. It turns red and red to me basically symbolizes anger and hatred. Society continues to treat people cruelly, but in the end it doesn't matter as long as these people have something or someone to love and hold on to.
You are an emotional person..💜💜
리액션 빠르시네요
Looking forwards to the rest of the new album - with tissues. An IU release without our Tors1e just wouldn't be the same.
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.

I watch like 5 times and still crying. 😅
Theres already an IU palette with V. A must watch promise

Welcome back Torsie 😊🎉🎉😂
(millionth time watching this) you don't know how much i missed you and you saying "MORE IU!" 🫶✨♡(> ਊ
We miss you torse
I missed you so much 😢❤
Estado buscado , para ver si habias visto como han echo , esta obra de arte , pero no te encontrado pues no deverias perdertelo hay sebe el gran trabajo que hicieron
Ella además de cantar maravillosamente , interpreta la canción
I feel you
I missed IU sooooo much..
Such a beautiful and emotional video featuring amazing acting and vocals that makes the experience so personal. I really do hope that Tae & IU do other projects together both film and music as they have great chemistry and when he was on her show their voices also blended so well. Also at the end it was pointed out by someone that he can hear what is coming but she can't, while she can see what is coming but she covers his good eye so he can't. Both cry at the same moment though and from the same left eye. Also the right side of his face seems to have burn scars so maybe he had encountered a cube before but got away at the last minute. This cube was relentless in its pursuit and even seemed to change size so it could come into the building. Earlier when it was flying overhead you could tell no way it could fit inside those hallways. I also noticed the cube waits for them to stop fighting and accept their fate. If you notice there are no other people so obviously no person is able to meet the criteria this cube holds that would allow someone to survive. The camcorder that kept showing a better reality, was giving us the viewer a happier version of the events. They both rise in the air together, their bodies still solid, while the reality is that they have been turned to ash. At the top of the camcorder right before it turns off you see ash particles in the air. I also loved how the clothes landed together on the pile. Again all of this symbolizing that even though they seemingly lost to the cube, it couldn't destroy their love for each other. They stayed together in life and death, so indeed their love did win. I can't get enough of this MV, the acting is Oscar level and combined with the award worthy vocals and lyrics it's both heartbreaking but also heartwarming that at least they went together.
I miss your IU reactions😭
Hope you enjoy the world tour!!
My bias is Tae and my bias wrecker is Suga as well!!! I do have to clarify that I am for BTS as a whole but I tend to look their way a little bit more lol. As time goes by, I feel like Suga is no longer my wrecker just my bias as well. Through their solo careers I have really started to appreciate all of them a lot more. They all are so talented!!!!
It's been a while since I watched your video. I kinda miss bingeing your channel. Maybe I will start binge-watching your channel again. I wish you the best in your health. Sending you a lot of love.
Btw are still active on social media??

I miss your iu reaction
Missing u v so much
❤❤
V made me cry!
Omg V we miss you😭
the theory of IU's song is when IU is told that she is deaf from her use of sign language and V is told that sheh has blindness in one of her eyes , which is proven by IU closing one of V's eyes and the box is likened to the general public here the are trying to fight discrimination from the general audience itself is one of the theories and the song love wins all and there are many other versions .
TROS THANK YOU FOR REACTION IU AND V
