"Lilac is a song about her twenties. There are various Easter eggs in the music video, such as the albuns she released during that period and the number seat I-29. The train serves as a metaphor for her career; when she first entered the industry, she tried to fit in and copied other passengers' movements.

iu only promoted her full album at music shows, like olympics every 4 years 😅 after modern times era she stop promoting and only do the full album, only done palette & lilac 😢 but she always wins whether she promote or not 😅 she got 100+ music show wins, the most for soloist and i think top 5 for all artist including groups 😊
For the celebrity performance for MMA, the footage is a compilation of celebrities (some of which are her friends) who did the celebrity challenge that went viral on social media. In this challenge, celebrities or fans would post content revealing their personal routines, behind-the-scenes moments, or their genuine, unpolished selves-essentially emphasizing that even stars are normal people with everyday experiences.
Loving your deep dive with IU, seems like im knowing her more again and loving her more Lilac Golden Disc Awards version is a killer - hope you can check that one as well.
Flu has a preview clip (not a full MV) - which is really good. You'd love that. The choreo she was doing in the live performance was from this: ruclips.net/video/YjdWNVSaUT8/видео.html
Watching interpretation videos of IU’s MVs can be helpful. For example, in “LILAC,” just like in “Eight,” the animation shows taking off colored glasses. This symbolizes the perspective of being in your twenties. When you wear green glasses, the world looks green, and when you wear purple glasses, the world looks purple. This perspective is carefully preserved and sent off, as IU welcomes her thirties. Each element in the MV holds a hidden meaning. By the way, the age series of 23 (Twenty-Three), 25 (Palette), 28 (Eight), and 29 (LILAC) is no longer continuing.
Another interpretation for the lyrics of Celebrity is that the song also refers to "special" people. Hinted heavily with the line "You're a star painted with a left hand (not 'right', which usually symbolizes as the 'standard' or 'default'), can't you see how beautiful, a true UNIQUENESS can be? You're my celebrity." That's also why the star drawing is kinda crooked and not perfect. Also Koo Chan Sung is in one of those collage and other celebrities including her friends.
she's spoken about the meaning first-hand, saying it was originally written about a specific friend of hers...but then realized the message also applied to herself (and maybe everyone) - as it's really about self affirmation / accepting yourself. The speculation is that she is addressing cyber bullying where people can be cruel those who deviate from what is expected / accepted - and this was a song intended as a positive message for her friend who may have needed that (and doesn't everyone sometimes).
Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook She intended to organize a mini concert for free. She was so tired that she had no energy left. cr. news : Insiders say IU sang 60 songs during a 14-hour recording This week's 'IU mini-concert' on 'Sketchbook' celebrates IU's 12th anniversary since debut.

Just before 11 PM KST on this day, IU performed her closing song "Good Day" for the last time, belching out her signature 3-key note so perfectly that some staff members on site shed tears after witnessing IU's perseverance and stamina.

Hi I’ve been enjoying your deep dive on IU. Thank you! I wish you would show more recent clips tho. Several of the tracks on this album are on the set list of her HEREH world tour, or recent Seoul concerts, i.e., Coin, Celebrity. I know you’ve used fancam clips before. The clips you showed here are mostly from a couple years ago, less energized IU than the concert version. Just a thought
The Song 'FLU' stands for Forever Love UAENA. FLU Teaser MV is here and strongly recommended: ruclips.net/video/YjdWNVSaUT8/видео.htmlsi=c2XXJEBqcIS2QqFa I knew that you'd love 'Coin' that much with fantastic rapping. Yes, the male actor is really famous from the role as a lengendary top gambler. --> A parody of the movie Tazza appears in the music video .[23] And actor Kim Yoon-seok , who played the role of Agwi in Tazza, made a special appearance as he did. IU confessed that her dad's favorite song pick was 'Coin' too in this album.

Absolutely right! that's lilac in a shell.
The conductor that played the sax in "Lilac" is the same guy who played all the instruments in "Good Day".
There's a short Flu teaser video where she acts, dances, collapses and dies. Its worth hunting down.
That flu performance is like a half joke 😂😂 bcs she almost never perform it, but fans request it in encore 😂😂 very impromptu one
iu only promoted her full album at music shows, like olympics every 4 years 😅 after modern times era she stop promoting and only do the full album, only done palette & lilac 😢 but she always wins whether she promote or not 😅 she got 100+ music show wins, the most for soloist and i think top 5 for all artist including groups 😊

Totally agree with you. They rearranged the song into 70s-80s vibe

@@Brett-ca2ma You're right 100% I'll add that original special friend is most likely the one everybody knows.
IU songs for all season:
Spring: Hi spring bye, Not Spring, love or cherry blossom
Summer: Bye summer
Autumn: Autumn morning
Winter: Winter sleep

Don't worry I linked a lyric video that has the same translation like the one you recommended.
